Synopsis

Fans of "Lucifer's Hammer," "The Stand," "Swan Song," "The Postman," "One Second After" and "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse" will love this book. When the Impact destroyed civilization and re-sculpted the globe the only survivors were the hastily expanded crew of the ISS, who watched the devastation below with growing horror, while wondering if they would ever get to go home, a few Preppers, whose stores of food and other commodities made them irresistible targets and the desperate hordes who would do anything--eat anyone--to live. Imagine being a thousand miles from the impact site and being almost deafened by the sound and seeing buildings flattened by the shock wave. You are thrown off your feet by jolting earthquakes that peg the Richter scale, nearly burned to death by fire falls--think rain showers but with magma--and if you live along a coastline (or likely anywhere within several hours drive) you'll be swept away by tsunamis large as mountains. And those are just the immediate effects. Now comes Impact Winter that lasts for years, plagues, starvation and having to defend your family against those who would murder, enslave, or eat them and you have an inkling of what Michael and Ellen Whitebear must endure to survive and begin rebuilding. Meanwhile, aboard the International Space Station, the hastily expanded crew, humanity's last hope to avoid extinction, view the devastation below with growing horror and despair. They wonder if they will ever get to go home. But soon their attention is diverted to other issues, for they have serious problems of their own.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Raymond Dean White was born in a small town in Kansas and lived an adventurous life, hunting, fishing, trapping and tracking, backpacking, spelunking skiing and mountaineering until he got older, wiser, and married. A lifelong avid reader, he writes what he loves to read--fast-paced, action-adventure stories complete with intriguing characters, a touch of humor and a bit of information thrown in on how to prepare for emergencies. As a hyperactive ten year old (who, even then, loved to read) he stumbled onto Andre Norton's "Star Man's Son" and his lifelong love affair with apocalyptic fiction was born. Now retired, he writes terrorist thrillers and apocalyptic action/adventure novels, all of which are coming soon as eBooks and in print from CreateSpace. His writing style has been heavily influenced by Louis L'Amour, Stephen King, David Brin, Frank Herbert, JRR Tolkien and Elmore Leonard to name but a few. Note that he isn't comparing himself to those great authors, just saying he's learned from them. He has also written one non-fiction book titled "How I Got Published: Famous Authors Tell How In Their Own Words" which details their (and his) adventures in traditional publishing. That book (co-authored with Duane Lindsay) is currently available here on Amazon. If you are a budding author interested in traditional publishing it can inspire you to keep trying.
