Troop of Shadows: Book One in the Troop of Shadows Chronicles
A catastrophic pandemic ravages the globe, reducing the human population to extinction levels and cleansing the world of mediocrity.
A doomsday prepper, a molecular geneticist, a journal-keeping loner, and a martial arts-trained nerd survive the disease that annihilated almost everyone else on the planet. Despite the miles between Kansas and California, Texas and Arizona, the four share a connection.
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 not only to rebuild civilization, but to battle those who would forge empires through brutality and oppression.
“There is one who would rule the world or see it burn.”
Fans of Stephen King’s “The Stand,” Hugh Howey’s “Wool” series, and Markus Sakey’s “Brilliance” trilogy 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. It is the unfolding story of the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and is populated with some of the most entertaining people you’ll ever meet.
Amazon Five Star Reviews:
“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!”
“Against the backdrop of a mysterious global pandemic, this smart and chilling tale raises cogent questions about the meaning of community and the fine line that separates civilized society from chaos, cruelty, and brutality. It’s also a thrilling adventure story, a classic pitting of good vs. evil as a few gifted survivors must fight to forge a civil future against those who seek absolute power to enslave and debase. Memorable characters crackle with witty, crisp dialogue as Smith weaves together seemingly disparate threads into a fireball of a climax. Fans of Stephen King’s The Stand and Justin Cronin’s The Passage will find much to admire here. Highly recommended!”
