After The Dust Settled
(2014)(The second book in the Countdown to Armageddon series)
A novel by Darrell Maloney
In "Countdown to Armageddon," we met Scott Harter. There was absolutely nothing special about Scott. He was just an ordinary guy living in the suburbs with a typical family and a dog named Duke.
If anything set Scott apart from everybody else, it was his extraordinary luck. It was that luck that helped him stumble across the cryptic notes of a mysterious missing professor.
"The Mayans never said the world was going to end," the old professor wrote. "What they actually said was that December 21, 2012 started a new era. An era they called the last period of progress." Ugly things were on the horizon. Things that would change the world forever.
The discovery haunted Scott, and drove him to stake everything he had on building a safe place to go when disaster struck. And on the day solar storms destroyed all technology on earth, he was ready. His group of six assembled and evacuated the chaotic city of San Antonio, and moved ninety miles away. They thought they were safe. But the world was different now. And nothing was certain anymore.
Book two, "After the Dust Settled," finds the group struggling with a new reality in a vastly changed world. Nothing about the new world was going to be easy. Despite their best planning, life keeps throwing them curveballs. Their number has grown. And some of the group has secrets they're keeping.
The world is now a vicious and dangerous place.
The city of San Antonio is slowly dying. The once proud jewel of South Texas becomes a city of abandoned cars and piles of bones. And a plague.
But San Antonio keeps calling them back.
And each time is a dangerous new adventure.
Genre: Science Fiction
