Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
Apocalypse (The Wasteland Chronicles)
"No one said survival was easy. The year is 2060, and the world is a wasteland. Sixteen-year-old Alex Keener has one mission: survive the horrors of the post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert long enough to find a home. But when he gets mixed up with Wasteland raiders, Alex finds himself running for his life...and the raiders will stop at nothing until they've gotten what is theirs."
A Survivor's Tale, Part Two
”In the 29th century, Cam, one of the few survivors alive seven decades after the catastrophic end of an already diminished society continues his story of the events, tragedies and joys that have filled his life in the years that have passed. Making friends, losing loved ones, and finding hope, the journeys of his past will serve as a reminder to the future generations of the tantamount destruction wrought by negligence, fear, and the 'I' comcept.” The first book, A Survivor's Tale, Part One
, has been free before but is only .99 now.
Hong Kong Trade Off (The Long Journey Home)

Something of unknown origin has killed nine-tenths of the world’s population. Governments and society have collapsed.
Brad monitors the radios and listens to the world die. To the best of his knowledge, he is the sole survivor of the entire population of the Earth.
After several days of listening to the end of the world, Brad has had enough. He readies ...a sixty-five-foot computerized offshore patrol vessel, complete with machine guns, mini-guns, and a missile launcher. He stocks it with ammunition, extra food, and fuel. Brad is going home. ...Jacksonville, Florida. ..Along the way, he finds other survivors. Some are good, some are not. Some travel with him and together they face - The Long Journey Home.”

Noah's Ark
”Alex Latham had the perfect existence. He had a loving family, a beautiful child and a successful career. Then came the darkness. When the darkness came, there was nowhere to hide. People ran. But they could not escape. The darkness came and the darkness took them away. Except for one. Alex thought that he was all that was left. He was wrong.”

Free Falling
”What happens within hours of settling in to their rural, rustic little cottage in a far-flung spot on the coast of Ireland is an international incident that leaves the family stranded and dependent on themselves for their survival. Facing starvation, as well as looters and opportunists, they learn the hard way the important things in life. Can a family skilled only in modern day suburbia and corporate workplaces learn to survive when the world is flung back a hundred years? When there is no internet, no telephones, no electricity and no cars? And when every person near them is desperate to survive at any cost?”
