When the United States crumbles, and services stop, there’s only one thing to do… take your family and run. What reviewers are saying: “I love a good post apocalyptic book and this was right up there with the best.” “The characters are great and come to life… No zombies to worry about just the dying and living.” “After reading this book I would not be surprised if apocalypse would happen like this.” Infection (Book One) The countdown to the end of the world begins silently. No one realizes there’s a deadly illness spreading like wildfire until it’s too late. With few symptoms, victims literally drop dead after a brief surge of energy. Within days, it tears through the population of the United States. Now, faced with the very real possibility of extinction of the human race, Cole Evans has only one chance to save his family and survive: a safe haven on an isolated, hard to reach island. Can he convince his brother that the danger is real and that there’s enough space for his family as well? But can they all reach the island before the lights go out for them…forever? Isolation (Book Two) Cole Evans thought he’d found a safe haven for his family and a growing band of survivors of the most lethal virus the world has ever known. But he finds continued survival is far from guaranteed as they battle hostile encounters with other survivors, nature, and devastating accidents. Are they prepared to survive their first brutal Wisconsin winter after the rest of the world has perished? Invasion (Book Three) Plunged into a free for all lifestyle with survival of the fittest the only law, it would be easy for Cole Evans and his family to remain in short-term survival mode, living in the moment. But, Cole refuses to lose his conscience—his humanity—and won’t stop fighting for a better future. After surviving a harsh Wisconsin winter only months after a lethal virus wiped out most of the population, strangers arrive from the East. They bring news that pushes them to leave the island and Cole leads his family on a dangerous, but necessary trek across the country to a new home and hopes of a permanent settlement. Their destination: Nevada and the Hoover Dam.

The update wasn’t a feature. It was a purge. Jax is Unit 7734. In the real world, he’s a nobody living in a debt-stack. In “The Realm,” the hyper-immersive VR simulation where humanity works and plays, he’s a bartender grinding for credits he’ll never pay off. It’s a life of low-poly misery, but it’s stable. Until the sky cracks open. A sudden system-wide event labeled [Apocalypse Mode] locks every user inside the simulation. Logout is disabled. The physics engine is crumbling. And the streets are flooding with high-level undead. But the zombies are the least of Jax’s problems. The “Admin Knights”—invincible moderators clad in liquid chrome—have descended from the cloud. They aren’t here to save the players. They are here to sanitize the server. To them, the poor, the indebted, and the weak are just “corrupted data” to be deleted. When Jax discovers that the system crash is actually a cover-up for a horrific corporate harvest targeting his own family, he refuses to be deleted. Armed with a steel pipe, a stolen rifle, and a glitchy interface, Jax must lead a ragtag squad of broken survivors across a city that is literally dissolving into the void. Their destination: The Survival Estate. A golden fortress built for the elite, and the only place with a hardline to the truth. The Corporation thinks Jax is just a variable to be balanced. They’re about to learn that even the smallest glitch can crash the whole system. The game is rigged. It’s time to break the board. Apocalypse Mode: Initiation is a gritty Cyberpunk LitRPG thriller featuring a non-OP protagonist, high-stakes survival, settlement building elements, and a fight against a dystopian system. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Cyberpunk 2077 .
