A catastrophic pandemic ravaged the globe, reducing the human population to extinction levels.

All of the ‘normal’ people have died.

The survivors have genius level IQ’s, possess “autistic savant” skills or are pyschopaths. Some possess all three traits.

How do you survive in a world like that? A world where people are not always who/what they seem to be. Where the enemy is not always from the outside. Cleverness and guile can also hide them from within too.

˃˃˃ Four people with diverse backgrounds have survived.

A doomsday prepper, a molecular geneticist, a journal-keeping loner, and a martial arts-trained nerd are struggling to survive and unbeknownst to them are being drawn together. Despite the miles between Kansas and California, Texas and Arizona, the four share a connection…somehow.

They realize that not dying was the easy part. Now a year later, they navigate a bleak world…one without technology, without modern medicine, and without law and order. They must unify their diverse strengths to rebuild civilization.

˃˃˃ But not everyone shares their vision. There are those who want to rule the world and use brutality and oppression to bend people to their will.

“There is one who would rule the world or see it burn.” He must be defeated.

It is the unfolding story of the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and is populated with some of the most entertaining (and brutal) people you will ever meet.

˃˃˃ This is NOT your typical cookie-cutter post apocalyptic novel. Troop of Shadows adds unique twists not only to the characters to the story line as well.

Fans of Stephen King’s “The Stand” will love this novel. Intricately plotted, superbly paced, and brought to life by fully-developed protagonists, quirky supporting characters, and charming villains, the Troop of Shadows Chronicles is a tour de force.

• A touch of “Swan Song” and a dash of “The Stand”…Very good post-apocalyptic tale in the mode and mood of R. McCammon’s “Swan Song” and S. King’s “The Stand”. I anxiously await Book 2. ★★★★★
• One of the best SHTF books I have EVER read…and I read a lot. I could not put the book down. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. ★★★★★
• I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait until the second…one comes out! The characters are well written and their development over the course of the book is interesting to follow. There are some great twists and turns along the way. This is not your typical apocalypse novel!  ★★★★★
• I Really Enjoyed this book and I can’t wait until for the second… ★★★★★
• Wonderful, well developed characters… a refreshing sense of humor… great, actual, survival info for when the SHTF, and I am just sure it’s not a question of IF, but WHEN. ★★★★★
