Surviving Abe [01]
When meteorological events align and launch Winter Storm Abe on an unprepared populace, the U.S. struggles during the worst megastorm in its history. As the outside environment deteriorates, a group of radical environmentalists exploit the ongoing natural disaster with an inside cyber attack on software controlling the availability of America's fuel, food, and electrical power. Societal conditions deteriorate and the U.S. Government is quick to declare martial law, but slow to deliver relief supplies. Only those skilled at survival will weather this one-two punch to the soft underbelly of a technologically dependent civilization. While elk hunting in Colorado's Rockies, Gus catches on that he is fast becoming snowbound in a high-altitude blizzard. Making his way out of the mountains, Gus encounters critters that help and characters that kill. Andy, on a cross-country bicycle trek, gets glazed over in an East Texas ice storm. Trapped at a roadside convenience store with the farmer's daughter might be the stuff of dreams, if it didn't include a jealous ex-boyfriend, big-city gangs, and hungry cattle rustlers. On the Chesapeake Bay, solo sailor Tess, is caught in rapidly changing climates; both meteorological and political. As a female on her own, deadly heat waves and tornadoes aren't the only dangers she has to face, and Abe isn't the only adversarial male to show up on her radar.
Surviving The Cull [02]
In 2020, intelligent malware infects and destroys the digital circuitry that nearly 8 billion humans depend on—only those with both wisdom and strength survive the cull that results.By 2050, a shrunken populace has learned to depend on its wits and smart dogs, instead of infrastructure and smartphones. With a new clue in his pocket, treasure hunter Pro is on his mission of discovering the fabled “Lost Retreat” when slavers chase spear-toting, raven-haired Kenai and her dog, O3, across his path.While Pro and Kenai deal with the best and worst of desperation’s effects on humanity, human history is set to repeat itself. This time advanced technology emerges from bunkers instead of wooden ships, but its allure to the indigenous people remains strong. A war ensues as Pro, Kenai, and other cull survivors are forced to choose between living on the edge but free, or submitting to governmental control for security and the supposed good of the species.
