About this ebook

The world he knows and loves is gone...

Lincoln Atwood survived the contagion that wiped out the nine tenths of humanity. As the last survivor in a secret government bunker and a Delta Force soldier, he knows that the other survivors are scared, angry and dangerous, just like him. After weeks alone with the mummified bodies of his colleagues, he escapes the bunker. But the world outside has changed. Among the empty cities and crumbling ruins of civilization, he loses himself to the wilderness in his soul. When he sees Caroline, a fellow survivor, she is vision of light in a world gone dark. He wants to help her, but she won't trust him, when there's danger around every corner. How can he convince her that fate has brought them together?



She will not go quietly into the night...



Caroline Kelly survived hell when she escaped quarantined Chicago in search of her family after the outbreak. But it's not as easy to travel from Illinois to Missouri with the world gone dark in the space of three months. The last she thing she needs is to get captured by a muscled, bearded mountain man who looks and acts like a damn super soldier. When it’s clear she can’t escape him, she finds herself becoming fascinated with the brooding, intense man who knows how to survive. He makes her heart race and blood pound. When tragedy strikes, Caroline realizes she might have a plan to save the world, but she’ll need Lincoln’s help. Can she trust Lincoln not only with humanity’s future, but also her heart?


Warning: This book contains some depictions of violence and realistic contagion scenarios.

Caroline Kelly survived hell when she escaped quarantined Chicago in search of her family after the outbreak. This is not my usual genre of read by any means but I loved the author’s previous book & this also didn't disappoint & I’ll certainly be reading more from the author as they become available. The strength of the book is in the depth given to the characters & the description of a post apocalyptic. The attraction between the two of them sizzled & I loved how their relationship developed. I found it very hard to put down & read in two sittings My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

By the mighty power of Thor, I am scared witless by the plot. A couple months ago I could not wait to read this book (hydra-1) and all. I was not disappointed with the whole art form. loved it so much I'll send it to my book club but after corona.

Love this book especially now with what's going on with the pandemic we're in today it shows even if hope seems far away it's always there. I hope and pray that everyone remembers to hope and pray for everyone else's safety though this difficult time.
