Publisher's Summary

Five-books-in-one complete box set! From the USA Today best-selling author, Amazon all-star award winner, and top 10 sci-fi writer of The Last War, Dark Days of the After, These Times of Abandon, and Population Zero comes a high-concept, adrenaline-fueled post-apocalyptic survival thriller like no other....

If the grid goes down and all hell breaks loose, will you have what it takes to survive?

A family breaking apart, a missing girl, the worst attack in American history…

.…how do you survive the collapse when you have already hit rock bottom?

When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, several groups of survivors are left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or the last chapter of humanity itself.

Are humans in their final days?

The EMP has officially crippled the nation and her infrastructure sits in ruin. Can a burned-out DEA agent, a Guatemalan-born cartel daughter, and an estranged brother find their way back to their families, or will they succumb to the perils of a nation in steep decline?

Also available individually in paperback and Kindle editions.

The Complete Age of Embers is a no-holds-barred post-apocalyptic adventure series chronicling a nationwide descent into a powerless world. Although this series is written in the Last War universe, and characters from each series overlap, the two sagas can be enjoyed independent of each other.

The Complete Age of Embers Series:

  • The Age of Embers
  • The Age of Hysteria
  • The Age of Reprisal
  • The Age of Exodus
  • The Age of Defiance

Note: This series contains the kind of strong violence and adult situations you would expect in an end-times event. Listener discretion advised.

Now scroll up, grab yourself a copy of the box set, and settle in for one heck of a ride through the apocalypse!

Does a woman have to be beautiful to have worth?

This is a good story and there are a few great characters. But ... and it's a big but ... why is it that every single woman who means anything to the plot is drop dead gorgeous. I don't see hardly any physical descriptions for
the men. They all seem to have personalities that don't hinge on their appearance. Maybe the women don't start to drool when they're confronted by the opposite sex so they're more together?

Awesome series!

Don’t let negative reviews prevent you from listening to this series, it’s not racism when the author brings attention to something that actually happens around the world not to mention it was one of the villains career choices and it was likely talked about for less than 5 mins out of 49 hours, Kevin Pierce does an amazing narration as always!

love it.

very entertaining with lots of laughs and tears. I don't think the scenario is all that realistic but the character reactions were. this book goes to some dark places. I feel like we need some more joyful situations to balance it otherwise I'm left with a dirty tinge on my soul. I feel like too much darkness in fiction affects our reality

Needles Racism

I'm all for some junk food post apocalyptic audio, this contained a lot of unnecessary racism. It started small, but when the immigrants that came to Chicago as a part of the sanctuary cities program turned out to be rapists assaulting all the white girls, that's just too much. Pure trash that is doing our society no favors.
