A 2026 Eric Hoffer Book Award Montaigne Medal Finalist.
RECOMMENDED by the US Review of Books
What do a paranoid prepper, a single mom, a self-absorbed Hollywood celebrity, a homeless vet, and the new head of CAL-OES have in common? They are five people out of the forty million trying to survive the largest terrorist incident in US history.
The Chinese orchestrate a coordinated attack that brings California’s electrical grid to its knees. But the fallout does much more than just turn off the lights; cell towers go dead, fuel cannot be pumped, supply chains grind to a halt, and municipal water systems fail. In a matter of days, the country’s most populous state and fifth largest economy in the world, collapses.
When the smoke clears, the residents of the once ‘Golden State,’ are catapulted straight back into the Stone Age, leaving everyone to survive any way they can.
The US Review of books had this to say about DARK STATE:
“The beauty of this particular narrative lies in how organically the chaos unfolds, as what initially appears to be a routine inconvenience turns out to be an existential threat to every inhabitant of California.
One of the chilling aspects of Lynch's novel is the vulnerability of California and its population should a similar scenario unfold in real life. The author brilliantly illustrates this through a range of researched footnotes. The assortment of characters introduced in the story propels the action forward as the disaster hits each person differently.
