“About Manna City: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller:

Nista is nine months pregnant, starving, and living in a cave. Her husband, Dane, thinks she’s gone crazy. And the first time she heard the voice of her unborn child, she thought she’d gone crazy, too. But the child has told her too many things, shown her too many things that have come to pass. She knows…someone is coming to usher them away from their isolated purgatory. Someone is coming to lead them through the unforgiving desert – teeming with lawless killers and savage beasts – to the last bastion of civilization, a mythical land of plenty called Manna City.

The Survivors by Angela White

“About The Survivors:

Nuclear Fire
“War was uglier than we’d ever imagined. The Draft was reinstated, taking our men and boys. Within days, stores had nothing on the shelves; people began to starve. Hospitals closed due to lack of space and medicine. Police stopped answering calls, stopping coming to work at all. Topside production faded; communications became spotty. Then the power went off…and it didn’t come back on.”
The fall of society triggered a hard, new life where survival became the only focus. We shunned each other and the old ways, killing anyone who was different. We reverted to primitive behaviors, using the war as an excuse to commit unspeakable atrocities, and humanity slipped deeper into the abyss of possible extinction. Soon, darkness blanketed the post-apocalyptic lands with hatred and violence that seemed to have no end. The future, cold and dark, offered little hope.

Descendants of Creation Emerge
They were always among us. Their purpose is to protect the innocent, but most don’t know about that hard destiny until it calls them. Hunted for centuries, these rare, powerful women and men are now all that stands between humankind and extinction. They’ve been called together in this time and place to provide safety for the remnants of society.

Humanity’s Fate Hangs in Balance
Survival isn’t a given for anyone as mysterious forces move the pawns across a horror-filled chessboard toward a final post-apocalyptic battle that will save the survivors or bury them under nuclear ashes.

Code: Revelation by Boris Sanders

“About Code: Revelation:

Introverted computer scientist Maximilian Gutenberg had no intention of acquiring a crystal with a being trapped inside, especially not one with the power to save— or destroy—humanity.

Her name is Lucy, and she cannot escape her prison until her mission is complete. A mission she keeps secret from everyone, even Max.

But she needs his help.

To gain his trust, she offers to get rid of his abusive boss in one week, and get him that promotion he always wanted. She’ll make him the hero of his own life, a man worthy of recognition, in exchange for helping her complete her mission.

This could be the opportunity of Max’s life, but he can’t help but wonder if Lucy is as good as she seems… And exactly what mission she must complete to regain her freedom.

Set in a dystopian, futuristic city built miles into the sky, “CODE: Revelation” is a powerful, psychological thrill ride that calls into question the nature of good and evil, and the importance of taking control of your own destiny.

Martian Dog by H. C. Turk

“About Martian Dog:

Melody Keen is the first child born on Mars, where her family populates a research settlement. When Melody is two, the adults begin vanishing. Though they return minutes later, they are not completely human. Melody is left alone with aliens who are using the bodies of her family members as hosts.

Arriving days later, the rescue team finds Melody alive, and her family dead. The Terrans learn little of the aliens; the traumatized child remembers nothing.

Melody is returned to Earth. She does not seem to be physically affected until nine years later, when her hormonal balance changes. During exploratory surgery, scientists discover that the aliens implanted a temporal device in her: a time bomb. When surgeons attempt to remove the device, Melody begins to die. She only survives because her internal structure is returned to its previous, alien state.

Melody, the space baby, becomes the most famous person in the world. Troubled as a child, she often tries to run away, but only succeeds when she is 22. Using an elaborate scheme, Melody returns to Mars.

The settlement has been expanded into a resort. Terrans pay fortunes to vacation there, hoping to find aliens. Exactly Melody’s goal. Instead of solving her past, Melody enjoys herself with a new friend, Georg. But Georg proves himself a traitor when he takes Melody to extremists who want to find the alien truth in her by cutting her open. As soon as they touch her, they begin disappearing. The original vanishing is being repeated.

Mars is cut off from Earth. Emergency evacuation fails when the pilots on Mars vanish from their ships. Soon, the population of the Martian resort is reduced to one: Melody. As before, the people soon return, as alien versions of themselves. Melody has to face them alone.

Melody is largely ignored until she is forced to attend a funeral, where her implant will come to fruition.

There, Melody learns that the aliens are unfathomable entities drawn to Mars by the artificial gravity experiments. Understanding that art-grav is corrupting time in the stellar system, they tried to end the problem. Since Melody is the key (because her birth was perverted by art-grav), they implanted a solution inside her, which required decades to develop. But Melody is a human, not a machine, and using her to solve the time/gravity corruption fails. The result is that a black hole begins forming.

The new solution is for Melody to live her life backwards. Her relived experiences range from the horrific to the hilarious, and inexorably lead not to the end, but to Melody’s beginning. There, she will make a better start: for herself, her family, and the Solar System.

About Prelude to Ascension by Brent Clay

John Riley is a physicist who achieves his lifelong dream of unraveling the mysteries of anti-gravity, but along the way, also unwittingly discovers the secret of interstellar communication. When he and a small group of coworkers attempt to respond to an unexpected message, believing it to have originated from somewhere on earth, they find more than they anticipate. The message is from deep space.

Once contact is made, the Remotes, as they are called, will not be dissuaded. Humanity becomes an unwilling newcomer to a staggeringly ancient galactic collective, which regards the earth as an ‘emerging world’ that is subject to its oversight. As humanity slips further into the grip of the enigmatic consortium, the mysteries become deeper; there is more to earth’s history than meets the eye, and even the galaxy itself is not what it seems.

The Quick and the Jurassic Undead by Wayne Kyle Spitzer

“About The Quick and the Jurassic Undead:

A story about a man and his dinosaur and the post-apocalyptic wild west. And were-raptors.

He fell silent and doubled over as someone punched him in the stomach, then toppled completely as someone else shoved him. And then, suddenly, there was a cry—a cry that sounded as though it had come from Ank and yet utterly different from any Williams had ever heard. A warbling, frightened, pitiful cry—the kind an animal might make if it were sinking into tar while surrounded by predators.

“Marshal?” said someone. “That came from the Lonestar Corral.”

“Then that means we’ve got ‘im cornered,” said Rimshaw, and shouted, “Johnson! Let ‘em into the armory! Let ‘em all in!” And to everyone else he said: “Get your weapons and meet me at the corral. And someone fetch Creebald and Teller. I don’t care how sick they are. I want them by my side.”

“But, Marshal, I just came from there,” said Johnson, pausing. “And they’re plumb gone.”

“What do mean, gone?” snapped Rimshaw.

“I mean they ain’t there. They’re not at the Rio Grande. No one’s at the Rio Grande.”

Williams craned his neck on the ground to observe Rimshaw’s reaction, and what he saw sent a chill up his spine, for it all but confirmed what he’d begun to suspect. For as Rimshaw stared at the man coldly, his eyes black as coals and his face pale as the dead, his tongue slipped between his lips like a snake’s and was just as quickly sucked back in.

Paladins | A Post-apocalyptic Western: A novel about a gunslinger, his telepathic dinosaur, undead were-raptors, and the second end of the world by Wayne Kyle Spitzer

“About Paladins | A Post-apocalyptic Western: A novel about a gunslinger, his telepathic dinosaur, undead were-raptors, and the second end of the world:

Williams misted up as he thought of the saloon girl who had shown him such affection. “I won’t shoot them, then.”

(Now listen, Will. Don’t let your personal feelings—)

“I said I won’t shoot them,” he snapped, and turned toward Luna, who was cowering at the top of the stairs. “We’ll have to find another way.” To Luna he said: “It’s all right, sweetie. Everything’s going to be all right.”

(Dammit, Will, I can’t handle an entire pack on my own, and you know it. Now are we serious about making it to Tanelorn, or at least Barley’s, or not? Or have all our plans changed because a saloon girl threw a leg up on you in a town we will never see again?)

“Meh,” Williams sighed angrily and moved toward the building’s front windows, which Ank had blocked with pinball machines and video games, with only partial success.

(Don’t walk away from me when I’m talking to you, dammit!) Ank lumbered after him, the tiled floor cracking beneath his elephantine feet. (We made a pact. And what about the girl? Would you see her torn to pieces by those things while you simply watched?)

“Go away!” Williams hissed. He peeked around one of the machines and saw the raptors lined up in the gathering dark, waiting to make their move, waiting to rush the snack bar and overwhelm them, waiting to kill them or, worse, to turn them into creatures like themselves.

“Are you talking to me?” whined the girl, her voice seeming to bleed as if cut by invisible knives. “Why would you want me to go away all of a sudden?”

“No—that’s not what I meant—I …”

(I can’t do it, Will. They’ll swarm in beneath my armor and … they’ll tear me to pieces.)

Williams held up his rifle—pressed his forehead against it.

(We need your magic with that gun, Will. I need it. And if you don’t step up I’m going to have to … and, I won’t make it. Not this time.)

“Come out, Williams!”

“Yes, my love, come out!” A new voice. Her voice. Katrina.

Williams squeezed his eyes shut.

Featured Post: All Things Ruin by R.L. Dean

“About All Things Ruin:

IN THE WAKE OF HIS FAILED ATTEMPT TO KILL KING HALIN, PATRIN IS ORDERED NORTH TO SEEK THE HELP OF AN ALLY, BUT THE INCREASINGLY PARANOID AND DISTRAUGHT YOUNG MAN WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS FORMER SAVIOR, THE EXILED PRINCE GALIN …

Suffering from damaged tech, disillusionment and despondency, Patrin and Xadik head west toward Lordingport, where there’s a promise of medicine and new orders from Galin. From Lordingport, they begin a two-and-a-half month journey to Valenkept, traveling through the factionalized collections of warlords and city-states that make up the Boarsland. During their journey, they face constant threats, brutal fights, unforgiving elements and murderous cultists.

Pushing through the many physical, tech and moral struggles that arise along the way, Patrin grows increasingly paranoid, questioning whether Galin truly cares for him or whether he’s just a tool that the exiled prince is using to retake the throne. At the same time, Xadik’s outlook grows ever more bleak, as he comes to believe that everything eventually falls to ruin.

Will Patrin and Xadik make it to Valenkept and convince King Arbren to back their new assassination plot? Will they make it home? Is there such a place as home?

Zombie Complex by Alexander Pain

About Zombie Complex:

The neighborhood smelled bad before the dead people shuffled in. Jake and Karen lived in an apartment complex that housed a hodgepodge of cultures—some of which cooked the nastiest smelling foods. When zombies arrived between paychecks, the couple had no place to go and no money to get there. Their neighbors were mostly guest workers from India. Their homes and families were 12,000 miles away. They were all trapped together. Survival would mean uniting to fight the dead. This is the story of very different people coming together, improvising, getting supplies, and uniting for the fight of their lives. They made their stand at a place called Chattahoochee Run Apartments–a place that will always be known as the Zombie Complex!

Again.
