Where would you go to survive the end of the world?

Far from the smoking ruins of the cities, Hurst Castle stands alone. A medieval fortress surrounded by the tidal waters of the Solent on the south coast of England.

Hurst’s seventy-four occupants scrape a living, scavenging for food and supplies in a lawless society without electricity or government. There is no time to mourn. Survival is all that matters.

But they are not alone. Rival groups covet the castle’s closely guarded resources, probing its defences.

When a military-led relief operation makes contact, Hurst’s stalwart leader, Jack, faces a desperate choice. To set aside their differences and join an alliance that promises hope or to unite against the newcomers and their plans for reconstruction. Jack must discover the truth about the Allies before it’s too late, but who can he trust? Only time will tell.

The battle for Hurst has begun.

Two peacekeeper ships are dispatched to New York City to organize the evacuation and resettlement of the survivors. The peacekeepers soon find themselves facing a myriad of problems. Wild animals roam the streets of the city, and the tunnels beneath it are home to millions of starving rodents. The underground is also home to cannibals who prey on other humans as a means of survival. Compounding matters is the hatred and mistrust the above-grounders have for the people who live beneath the city streets. The peacekeepers must somehow prevent the different factions from fighting long enough to arrange their mass departure from the city. Complicating matters even further is a group of men who have been sent to target the two crews. Their mission is simple. Prevent the peacekeepers from succeeding in their mission by harassing them at every opportunity, and kill a peacekeeper captain, if they can.The captains of the Athens and the Bleakman expected to find despair in the hearts of the residents of New York City, but they didn’t expect their crews to find themselves face to face with that emotion on a personal level.

From California to the east coast, it rained across most of the continental United States. From Los Angeles to New York City, residents reported an odd, whitish-grey residue that coated everything.Cats groomed the residue from their bodies, because that’s what cats do, and then they turned to their feed bowls with increasing hunger.The most deadly biological weapon ever created had been unleashed. It was one that would effectively pit most forms of animal life against mankind.Humanity was immune to the growth hormone. However, exposed to massive doses, mankind was not immune to the chemical component of the compound that triggered the hyper aggression, nor was humanity immune to the appetite enhancer. By mid-February, violent mobs of enraged hungry people were rioting in the streets of every major city in the world. In American cities, some of these riots were sparked by angry pet owners who were outraged that the government was supposedly plotting to exterminate all dogs and cats as a preemptive measure to protect the population. Pet owners viewed the mandatory registration of all dogs and cats with government officials by the end of February as a prelude to that extermination effort. Other people, generally those who didn’t own pets, were supportive of the measures. This led to protests and counter protests, which quickly turned violent as the hyper aggressive groups clashed.In the months that followed, one by one, the governments of the world collapsed under the strain of trying to maintain order. Food production ground to a halt in most of the world as the men and women who’d been feeding the human race succumbed to the effects of massive exposure to the formula.As the governments collapsed, so did the infrastructures supporting the civilization of mankind. Mass transit, power generation, and water purification were among the first to fail, but they were quickly followed by oil and gasoline production.In six months, humanity plunged from the top of the food chain to a position near the center and the world would never be the same.This is a 112,500 word book that has numerous accompanying photographs to depict the scenes.

A small survivor community in a dystopian America wages an internal war on itself when the residents disagree what is best for their future.

In rural Kentucky, one hundred and sixty-one survivors of the apocalyptic Great Rains huddle inside a one-block, walled off section of town: a place they call Outpost.

It has been two years since the toxic rains fell. The people of Outpost have managed to survive by working together, scavenging food from empty homes and businesses, guarding one another while they sleep.

They have persevered through their worst nightmare--or so they believed.

But now a stranger has come to their community and offered them a choice: they can come with him and go to war with those responsible for destroying the world. Or they can do nothing and hope some other community has the courage to do what they can't.

They've already suffered greater than they believed was possible, but many of them still want to fight. Others are skeptical. They don't believe the stranger's story and want nothing to do with furthering their own misery. They like things just the way they are... and they'll fight to keep it that way.

Even if that fight is with those they call friend and neighbor.

An apocalyptic novel set in a not-so-distant dystopian future.

Riker's Apocalypse: The Promise Edited by Monique Happy Editorial Services 107,000 words.

Army veteran Lee Riker is staying in an Atlanta shelter and supporting himself with the odd carpentry job when his sister, Tara, summons him home to Middletown, Indiana for the reading of their mother’s will. Hopeful that the unknown sum of money included in his portion of the inheritance will be sufficient to bring an end to his latest run of bad luck and trouble, Riker boards a Greyhound bus in Atlanta with his duffel bag, less than two hundred dollars to his name, and a secret he must protect at all costs. Riker makes it to Middletown only to learn his sister has recently witnessed a gruesome death. Insisting she saw the victim rise from a pool of his own blood to attack the Samaritan rendering aid, Tara floats the idea that the man may have been a zombie. While the siblings are comparing what Tara thinks she saw to the conflicting stories about the event being reported on the news, the emergency broadcast system is activated and they find themselves under order to report to one of three newly established quarantine centers. With this unexpected turn of events looming over their heads, and as a result the reading of the will likely postponed indefinitely, Riker informs Tara of the promise he made to their mother on her deathbed months ago. A promise whose details leave Tara nearly as confused as those of the grisly attack haunting her every thought. A promise that Riker insists is worth ignoring the government edict in order to fulfill. A promise that requires the Rikers to leave town even as shadowy forces seek to seal it off from the rest of the country—a tall order they soon learn will be easier said than done.
