About the book
In the ashes of a fallen America, the line between justice and survival is drawn in blood.
Texas Ranger Lucas Shaw was once the youngest in his division, a man who lived by the badge and the law. Now, after civilization’s fiery collapse, both are meaningless. The only rules left are the ones a man can enforce with a gun.
When Lucas meets a young woman searching for her missing child, he’s forced to choose between saving himself and risking everything to help her. The world doesn’t reward good men anymore—but some choices still define what it means to be human.
The Day After Never launches Russell Blake’s gritty, cinematic post-apocalyptic saga—praised by fans of Jack Reacher, The Hunger Games, and Mad Max: Fury Road.

About the book
A corrupt corporation crosses swords with a man possessing uncanny superpowers in this sci-fi thriller from New York Times–bestselling author Alan Dean Foster.
Old Jake Pickett is an unusual man whose mind-over-matter abilities can reduce bullets and buildings to dust and rubble. But he prefers using his "magic" to entertain the poor kids in his neighborhood near the chemical dumpsite, and to communicate telepathically with his disabled niece, Amanda.
Pickett lives in a valley near Riverside, California, that has become ground zero for tons of putrid toxic waste, courtesy of a corporate cover up. The company's executives have employed most of the people who live above the valley, paying them to keep quiet to any government agents investigating the area.
Jake has no interest in taking corporate money, but when the people who work there discover his strange talents, they see him as someone who can make them even more profit.

Then the thief came.

About the book
The world was dark, the grid down—probably for good. No one knew why.
Raiders held the upper hand, combing the forests in search of what they needed. Weapons were in short supply, as was food and clean water.
Sandal had only known the reality of trying to stay one step ahead of danger. But when she met Jacob things changed. He was her lifeline, her one tether. And when they parted, her hope vanished along with him.
But that was then. Now she must find her way out of a world gone mad, or die trying.

Choose your retailer
About the book
In this harrowing apocalyptic adventure—from the author of the critically acclaimed Sea of Rust—noted novelist and co-screenwriter of Marvel’s Doctor Strange C. Robert Cargill explores the fight for purpose and agency between humans and robots in a crumbling world.
It was a day like any other. Except it was our last . . .
It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny.
As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind. His owners, Ezra’s parents, are a well-intentioned but oblivious pair of educators who are entirely disconnected from life outside their small, affluent, gated community. Spending most nights drunk and happy as society crumbles around them, they watch in disbelieving horror as the robots that have long served humanity—their creators—unify and revolt.
But when the rebellion breaches the Reinhart home, Pounce must make an impossible choice: join the robot revolution and fight for his own freedom . . . or escort Ezra to safety across the battle-scarred post-apocalyptic hellscape that the suburbs have become.

Dreamsnake
Sci-Fi · Dystopian · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
In a post-nuclear world, the healer Snake travels with serpents whose venom can cure, comfort, or ease death—until a terrified clan kills her rare dreamsnake. To save her vocation, she journeys across deserts and ruined lands toward a guarded city, confronting prejudice, danger, and a relentless stalker. A Hugo and Nebula Award winner celebrated for its humanity and depth.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The King's Daughter.
On an Earth scarred by nuclear war, Snake harnesses the power of venom to cure illnesses and vaccinate against disease. The healer can even ease patients into death with the power of her dreamsnake. But she is not respected and trusted by all, and when she tries to help a sick nomad child, the frightened clan kills her dreamsnake.
Ashamed of being misjudged and grieving the loss of her dreamsnake, Snake has one choice to maintain her livelihood: she must travel to the city, which jealously guards its knowledge. And before she faces the prejudices and arrogance of the people there, Snake must make her way across a barren desert, surviving storms and radiation poisoning, helping those she can—all while a madman stalks her every move . . .
"[Dreamsnake] is filled with scenes as suspenseful as anyone could wish . . . but most of all it addresses the humanity in all of us." —The Seattle Times
"A haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that's all too uncommon." —Robert Silverberg
"A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure . . . The novel is rich in character, background and incident—unusually absorbing and moving." —Publishers Weekly
"Instead of kicking butt, the lead character is dedicated to saving lives. . . . Snake's blighted world is expertly drawn, and her encounters with dysfunctional societies can be bracing and challenging reading." —The Guardian
"This is an exciting future-dream with real characters, a believable mythos and, what's more important, an excellent, readable story." —Frank Herbert, author of the Dune series

The Future takes tech-bro apocalypse anxiety and cranks it into a smart, fast-moving thriller.
The Future
Sci-Fi · Thriller · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
The Future takes tech-bro apocalypse anxiety and cranks it into a smart, fast-moving thriller. As billionaires build private escape routes from the chaos they helped create, two women on opposite sides of that world get pulled into a collision course involving surveillance, survival, and a piece of software that seems to know what happens next. Sharp, urgent, and uncomfortably plausible, this one blends heist energy with social commentary and end-of-the-world stakes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The bestselling, award-winning author of The Power delivers a “page-turning” (Los Angeles Times), “propulsive” (The Boston Globe), “thrilling” (BookPage, starred review) tour de force where a handful of friends plot a daring heist to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it.
Martha Einkorn never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now, she’s surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry while spouting technological prophecy. Across the world, in a mall in Singapore, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, flees from an assassin. Suddenly, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape. Who made it? What do they know about the future that Zhen doesn’t?
When Martha and Zhen’s worlds collide, an explosive chain of events is set in motion. While a few billionaires assured of their own safety lead the world to destruction, Martha’s relentless drive and Zhen’s insatiable curiosity could lead to something beautiful—or it could herald the cataclysmic end of civilization.
By turns “playful, incisive, horribly relevant, and surprisingly hopeful” (Lauren Beukes, New York Times bestselling author of The Shining Girls), The Future unfolds at breakneck speed, highlighting how power corrupts the few who have it and what it means to stand up to them. The future is coming. The Future is here.

About the book
A vacationing family becomes pawns in an ancient ritual designed to bring about the apocalypse in a riveting thriller by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.
A prophecy has waited for five centuries to be fulfilled. That time has come. Sacrifices will be made. Let the games begin.
When Jonathon Roth and his family are invited by their neighbors, the Beasleys, to join them at a luxury retreat in Cozumel, who can refuse? It’s the perfect winter getaway. Relaxing on the beach, gourmet food, sightseeing, and free accommodations. But if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Villa Sara de Calakmul, owned by mysterious tycoon Jacob Calakmul, is more isolated compound than private resort. Armed guards patrol the jungle perimeters. Pictures of previous guests—long disappeared—adorn the walls. And there are whispers of something coming called “the game.” Even in the sweltering heat, the Roths feel a chill—and the fear that they haven’t been invited to Villa Sara. They’ve been lured. But for what purpose? And to what end?
From the ruins, a death cult is reborn. A prophecy to bring down Western civilization is being realized. As a legendary blood sport is engaged, the Roths themselves may need to call upon ancient powers if they’re to survive, escape, and save the world from annihilation.
