The Darwin's World Series

Three complete novels. Thirty-three hours of survival action. If you're a fan of Robert A. Heinlein, Jean Auel, and S. M. Stirling, you're going to love Jack L. Knapp. Thousands of copies have been downloaded. This is survivalism at its best...in an Earth that never knew humans!

Wilderness survival? With nothing but a knife and hatchet? When you're alone, and the wilderness is Earth at the end of the ice age? Not all the dangers come from predatory animals.

Darwin's World is still a sparsely-settled Eden, but things are beginning to change. Nature is no longer the overwhelming challenge it was before. People are joining with others, towns are being established. But growth leads to conflict. Can Home's residents protect themselves from the slave raiders? Saber-toothed cats, lions, cave bears, dire wolves? Dangerous, to be sure. But humans are still their own worst enemy.

People interact largely through personal communicators, a 25th century version that combines the personal computer and the cell phone. Much of the interaction is done through the worldwide semi-sentient computer net known as Central. Prime's population is declining. The primary cause of death is self-termination. Few children are being born. The futurists, aided by Central, conceive a desperate gamble: retrieve people from the past, from a time when populations were growing. Reconstitute their failing bodies, then winnow out those who might have the qualities Prime needs.

Humanity faces an enemy from space. Dangerous, to be sure, but behind them is the ultimate enemy. This one threatens not only the people on Prime and Darwin's World, but all humans on all dimensions! And this enemy is armed with a disintegrator ray that humans have no defense against. And as usual, humanity is caught off guard. There are few spaceships and even fewer that are suitable for converting to warships. Humanity must delay the oncoming 3,000-ship fleet until Matt and the humans on Prime and Darwin's World can mount an effective defense....
