[Practical Prepping: No Apocalypse Required 01] • Jakarta Pandemic, The

In the late fall of

2013, a lethal pandemic virus emerges from the Islamic Republic of

Indonesia (IRI) and rages unchecked across every continent. When

the Jakarta Flu threatens his picture perfect Maine neighborhood, Alex

Fletcher, Iraq War veteran, is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his

family safe. As a seasoned sales representative for Biosphere

Pharmaceuticals, makers of a leading flu virus treatment, Alex

understands what a deadly pandemic means for all of them. He

particularly knows that strict isolation is the only guaranteed way to

protect his family from the new disease. With his family and home

prepared for an extended period of seclusion, Alex has few real concerns

about the growing pandemic.But as the deadliest pandemic in

human history ravages northern New England, and starts to unravel the

fabric of their Maine neighborhood, he starts to realize that the flu

itself is the least of his problems. A mounting scarcity of food and

critical supplies turns most of the neighbors against him, and Alex is

forced to confront their unexpected hostility before it goes too far. Just

when he thinks it can’t get any worse, the very face of human evil

arrives on Durham Rd. and threatens destroy them all. Alex and his few

remaining friends band together to protect the neighborhood from a

threat far deadlier than the flu, as they edge closer to the inevitable

confrontation that will test the limits of their humanity.
