New Apocalyptic

Three hundred years has passed since the Last War. That's how the Elites called the third worldwide conflict, swearing that their rule would ensure that humanity would stay at peace forever. They lied. After the war, two thirds of women were born barren, so the fertile ones have a duty to society they must fulfill by either giving birth to a child by their 25th year, or go through the Auctions. Xander spends most of his time in his lab, but once a year, he has no choice: every unattached, childless male in the City is bidden to attend the Auctions.

They say romance died when society collapsed. They were right. It's brutal out here. My last date had no teeth. He took me to the Great Tire Fire and roasted a rat on a stick. I was convinced I was going to die alone at the tender old age of 22 until I saw Max. He was wearing a freaking skull on his head. It was terror at first sight. But like bacteria on wet socks, Max will grow on you. And this obsessive alpha might just give me the best happy ending you can get in this nightmarish hellscape.

From the author of the Hugo-winning Six Months, Three Days, a new wrinkle on the old story of three wishes, set after the end of the world.

In a world brought to its knees by a malevolent organization known as the Pentagram and a devastating virus, humanity clings to fragments of hope. As society grapples with betrayal, power struggles, and the relentless search for a cure, unexpected alliances are formed. Enter Brandon, a man with an intricate past, bound by a profound purpose; and Nicole, the beacon of hope who inadvertently becomes the key to the world's redemption. Together, along with a band of rebels, seekers of truth, and survivors, they embark on a perilous journey.

A misunderstanding leads to all out warfare between four highly trained soldiers and a vicious small-town gang. When an innocent group of civilians finds themselves in the crossfire, hard choices must be made. Dead America: The Second Week introduces new survivors and locations in addition to revisiting some familiar ones as people all across the country fight for their survival against the growing armies of the undead.
