THE SKY CLUB
“An Agent on his final mission for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service unseals a document concealed since WWII revealing a shocking truth from the past: that Allied commandos had not thwarted Germany's nuclear bomb development, they had only driven it underground - allowing the creation of a device hundreds of times more powerful than even the atomic bomb eventually dropped on Hiroshima. “

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

Counting Down (An End of the World Love Story)
Many high reviews. “Artist Abigail Conelly begins questioning her life when she discovers her long time boyfriend hasn't exactly been faithful. Soon after, apocalyptic nightmares fill her nights with ancient prophecies and impending doom. As news reports from all over the globe start reporting disaster, Abby realizes her dreams are becoming reality. In the hopes of surviving, she flees to her family farm in Kansas where an old fallout shelter is buried underground. Upon her arrival she meets Kyle Windstone, a very unusual Mid-west farmer with equally unusual abilities. Immediately they are drawn to each other by a greater purpose neither of them fully understands. Together they will learn what it takes to survive and find the courage to love along the way.”

Edge of Apocalypse (End Series, The)

As world events begin setting the stage for the 'end of days,' Joshua is forced to consider not only the truth of the biblical prophecies preached by the pastor of his brilliant attorney- wife, but also what gut-wrenching price he is willing to pay to save the nation he loves.”
