"Exploring Home: Book 12 of the Survivalist Series" by Angery American
https://www.amazon.com/Exploring-Home-Book-12-Survivalist/dp/0996696075/

Book number twelve of a twelve book apocalyptic EMP series. I read the
well printed and bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback self
published by the author in 2023. I do not know if there will be any
more books in the series but I will probably buy them if so.

It has been a year since the giant nuke was exploded above Kansas. The resulting EMP destroyed the electrical systems and computers inside the
USA without a sound or flash. The nuke was so strong that even England
was affected. Since then, half of the USA population has died due to starvation and violence.

The series starts off with a technician on the road walking home from Tallahassee to Orlando in Florida after a USA wide EMP event. He
travels mostly by foot over 200+ miles with a 60 pound backpack of
goodies that he had in his car (food, water, night vision goggles,
sleeping bag, poncho, tarp, small stove, two guns and ammo).

He uses his SweetWater filter to get drinkable water for him and his companions since he only started his trip with two gallons of water and
a half dozen MREs. Basically, the author feels that a lot of people
will lose their inhibitions when all the conveniences of modern society
go away as the technician has to kill three people in the first 50 miles.

Prior to this book, a Chinese invasion fleet off the west coast of the
USA was nuked by the USA military. In response, the Chinese nuked a
military base in Florida, also nuking Tampa as a side effect. The USA military did not continue nuking targets in China. But a Russian
invasion fleet has landed on the eastern side of Florida and the
Russians are sending out scout units which the USA Navy and Army are
fighting off.

The USA Army has deposed the traitor President of the USA and is trying
to re-establish law and order in the USA. They have asked Morgan to be
the civilian governor of Florida and Sarge to be the military governor
of Florida. But Florida, like the rest of the USA, has been decimated
and there are small pockets of survivors holed up around the place.

Note that the first book in the series is one of my six star books.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,513 reviews)

I will note that you recommend
The Survivalist #1
Going Home
A. American
4.10

Along with the same line as that, (a limited nuclear exchange):

#1 - Have you ever read The Third World War ? January 1, 1979
by General Sir John Hackett https://www.amazon.com/THIRD-WORLD-John-Illustrated-Hackett/dp/B00HKIAK9G
I resist calling it sci-fi, for it, was more a political,
economic, and military piece of propaganda.
"Hackett had consulted with many military and political experts,
Lehmann-Haupt said that the book represented a "very high order of
strategic thinking" and "a signal to the Soviets, or even a warning, of
the way some Western military leaders are thinking."[2]
It laid out the importance of investing is several game changing
weapons systems that could stop a soviet invasion, thus prevent
Armageddon.

#2 - Have you ever read "Warday is a novel by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka, first published in 1984.[1] It is a fictional account of the
authors travelling across the U.S. five years after a limited nuclear
attack in order to assess how the nation has changed after the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warday

"Five years later, Strieber and Kunetka decide to document the effects
of Warday on the United States;[6] they travel first through devastated southeast and southwest Texas. They then visit the new nation-state of
Aztlan in the former American Southwest, and conduct interviews with its foreign minister and citizens. They then conduct interviews while trying
to evade the omnipresent police in Los Angeles, California. California, physically untouched by the attack, has become a self-governing,
authoritarian police state which treats outsiders as "illegal immigrants."

#3 - Have you ever read "The Folk of the Fringe" by Orson Scott Card ?

I recommend it.

I read it in the year the war was supposed to have taken place,
while I was doing national service in the Army. I'm glad things
didn't turn out that way.

Among other things, Hacket gave the Bundeswehr fourteen divisions
it only had eleven in reality (due to his envisioned increase in
military pending).

What he got wrong was an assumed reluctance of Soviets to use
nuclear and chemical weapoins from the outset, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_to_the_River_Rhine

So, the rather limited nuclear exchange would have been anything
but (including the nuclear destruction of Vienna, capital of a
neutral country).
