Solar technology has evolved to the point where power is endless—until someone wants to stop the flow. . . .

In the near future, the New Las Vegas Sunfield is one of many enormous solar farms to supply energy to the United States. At more than fifty miles long and two miles wide, it generates an electromagnetic field so volatile that ordinary machinery and even the simplest electronic devices must be kept miles away from it. Thus, the only men who can guard the most technologically advanced power station on earth do so on horseback.

They are the Outriders.

Though the power supplied by the Sunfield is widespread, access to that power comes with total deference to the iron-fisted will of New Las Vegas’s ruthless mayor, Franklin Dreg. Now a crisis erupts, as Dreg’s quietly competent secretary discovers that someone has been stealing energy—siphoning it out of the New Las Vegas grid under the cover of darkness.

As the Outriders investigate, the scale of the thievery becomes clear: these aren’t the ordinary energy leeches, people who steal a few watts here or there. These “Drainers” appear to be high-tech terrorists engaged in a mysterious and dangerous enterprise and poised to bring down the entire energy grid, along with the millions of people it supports . . .
