“The Thalassic Series gave me back that 'just finished ACOTAR' feeling.” - Reddit

What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?

My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Or...maybe just a disaster, period. In a brutal dystopian waterworld where survival depends on the ocean, I've spent twenty years wondering why I don’t fit in. My sailing academy rivals are thriving, but I always seem to be one bad decision away from life going completely down the drain.

Even Sargo is getting impatient with me. He's my mentor—two years older, already a captain with his own boat, and everything I'm not: a strong sailor, level-headed, admired. And surly. Super surly. I suspect there's more going on behind that hot, confident mask than he lets on.

Did I say hot? I didn't mean hot. He's just a mentor. I definitely don't have sex dreams about him.

Anyway, two days ago, a mysterious message arrived...from the brother I thought was dead. He knows something about my past. Something that might explain why I don't belong in this world. I need to find him—but to do that, I'll have to cross a deadly ocean ravaged by storms, bloodthirsty pirates, and dark political secrets.

I definitely can't do it alone. I definitely need help...maybe from a hot captain who already has his own boat...

Bird will do anything to get answers about her past. Sargo is facing his own inner turmoil. Can they teach each other to survive in this world? Or will they be dragged into the abyss?

All Nathan Grant wanted was solitude.

After being baptized in the blood rite of combat and spending more than a decade knee deep in gore, two events that cost him his marriage, Nathan Grant wanted to be as far away from civilization as he could be.

Then the world ended.

Faced with the harsh reality of a world now populated with psychotic cannibals, Grant did what he does best – stay at his remote cabin and drink a few beers while watching the world melt down. His way of thinking was let it happen as long as it happened far away from him.

However, fate had different plans.

Dropped into situations he preferred to avoid, the bitter, cynical, old soldier realizes people depend on him for survival. Not eager to take on that kind of responsibility and not willing to get involved, Grant wanted to ignore the world.

But duty and honor pulled him back.

Now, irritated to be involved in something that he wanted no part of yet driven to survive at all costs, he directs his anger towards those that deserve it – the infected.

When a man-made virus turns 99% of the world’s population into flesh-craving psychotics, who better to have on your side?

It’s up to Colton and his friends to take a desperate stand against the superior enemy and save what is left of humanity from extinction.

When There's No More Room in Hell… The Dead Will Walk the Earth.

It started small—a strange illness spreading through a New Jersey town after a minor natural disaster. Within hours, people fell sick. By the next day, they were dying. By the third, they were rising.

And by the end of the weekend, the world was gone.

Garrett Newton thought his biggest challenge would be adjusting to civilian life after a combat injury ended his military career. Instead of starting his new job, he’s running for his life as the dead flood the streets, hunting the living with mindless, relentless hunger.

With civilization collapsing around him, Garrett gathers a band of survivors and fights to escape the infected swarms overrunning the cities. But as the days drag on and hope fades, he faces a grim truth—there may be no rescue coming. No safe haven. No second chances.

The world belongs to the dead now… and the living are running out of time.
