What kind of man survives a world with no rules, no mercy, and no consequences?
Jake Marshall knows. He's spent his whole life becoming it.
In a single morning, America falls. An EMP kills the grid. A virus scours the sick down to something less than human. Foreign soldiers flood the wreckage, hunting easy targets. The power isn't coming back. Neither is the law. Neither is anyone coming to save you.
Jake Marshall wakes to it behind the open door of a prison cell. An ex-Special Operative, a grieving father, a killer the courts couldn't forgive. He wants one thing from the ashes: to reach his wife, a thousand miles south, and make right the sin that damned him. And he means to walk every mile alone.
The road has other plans.When Jake crosses paths with Sarah, a mother whose youngest daughter has been stolen by the cartel and her sharp-tongued teenager, Scarlett, he faces an impossible choice: chase his own redemption or become the protector of a family that won't survive without him. As they push through a shattered nation hunted by cartels, militias, and the infected, their ragged group grows. A young man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart, a silent Russian whose tattoos map a violent past, and others with nowhere left to run.
None of them were supposed to be his problem. All of them need him to be the most dangerous version of himself.
To save a family he's not sure he deserves, Jake will turn every brutal skill he owns against enemies both human and monstrous. But the hardest fight is the one inside him, how far he'll go, and whether a man this broken can ever be forgiven.
Chronicles of the Apocalypse is a dark, relentless, character-driven thriller. The explosive first book in a post-apocalyptic survival series where hope is scarce, trust is dangerous, and redemption may be the hardest fight of all.
If you love the grit of The Terminal List, the desolation of The Road, the action of The Gray Man and John Wick, and the survival tension of The Last of Us, your next obsession starts here.
Welcome to the Apocalypse.
