About the book
He had a gun against his temple when the dog walked out of the woods.
That was six weeks into the collapse. Tonight Rob is still breathing, still walking, still climbing toward a homestead in the Colorado Rockies, because Captain won’t let him stop. Because a stray dog decided a broken man was worth saving. And because the next attack is coming fast.

The Borrowed World Box Set
Dystopian · Techno-Thriller
Our take
The Borrowed World Box Set, Volume One follows a prepared man forced to test every survival plan when coordinated attacks collapse America’s infrastructure. Jim Powell is stranded hundreds of miles from his family as power, fuel, communication, and public order fail around him. This post-apocalyptic survival series focuses on family, preparedness, moral pressure, and the violence required when the rules of society disappear.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This special box set edition of The Borrowed World Series contains the full text of books 1-3 of the bestselling series: The Borrowed World, Ashes Of The Unspeakable, and Legion Of Despair. Across audio, paper, and ebook this series has garnered tens of thousands of 4 and 5 star reviews.
If society fell apart, could your family survive? Jim Powell thought he was ready. He was a regular guy who travelled a lot for work and hated every second he was away from his young family. But when ISIS operatives unleashed a coordinated attack on America’s infrastructure, his entire world shattered. The electrical grid collapsed, communication networks were damaged, critical bridges and dams were destroyed, and major fuel refineries have gone up in massive fiery clouds.
Now, with an Executive Order halting fuel sales to the public, Jim Powell finds himself in a terrifying predicament. He's trapped hundreds of miles away from his family, and with thousands of stranded travelers and scarce law enforcement across the country, the miles between Jim and his family become a brutal gauntlet where the rules of a civilized society no longer apply.
Jim is a prepper with years of planning under his belt, but as he puts his preparations to the test, he soon finds that training for a societal collapse is very different from actually experiencing one. If Jim wants to make it back to his family in one piece, he'll need to find the strength and brutality to meet this new, dangerous world head-on--even if it means rising to unimaginable levels of violence.

About the book
Consistently hitting the top of the charts in Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Military Thriller, The Mad Mick Series has garnered thousands of reviews from readers who can't get enough of this character. He's the guy you want on your side in a fight. He's the friend who can make you laugh until you cry. He's the last man on earth you want to cross.
This omnibus edition contains the first three books in the series:
- The Mad Mick
- Masters of Mayhem
- Brutal Business
“Rock-solid characters, buzz-saw action and backstories deserving of books of their own. Amazing...”
For a hardened assassin and his snarky daughter, navigating the apocalypse is little more than business as usual. They have food, weapons, top-notch gear, and connections in the darkest holes of the special operations community. Just don't cross them because hell hath no fury like the Maguires.
Conor Maguire nearly lost his daughter when she was three years old, injured by the drunk driver who killed his wife. When the justice system failed him, Conor retaliated against the driver in dramatic and gruesome fashion.
An ironclad alibi prevented the police from pinning the murder on Conor. His actions didn't go unnoticed though. A covert agency within the US government recruited the talented young bomber and machinist. For over twenty-five years, Conor designed and built custom weapons of death and destruction at his secluded compound in the mountains of Virginia.
When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. Then Barb was kidnapped.
The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal.
But they would soon find out.

Civilization ends fast, but what rises in its place is even more brutal.
Cannibal Reign
Dystopian · Techno-Thriller
Our take
Civilization ends fast, but what rises in its place is even more brutal. In Cannibal Reign, a small band of survivors crosses a shattered America after an asteroid strike unleashes a landscape ruled by violence, hunger, and flesh-eating savages. This fits sci-fi dystopian fiction with its collapse setting, relentless survival stakes, and grim vision of a world stripped to its most savage instincts.

A dark, smart, action-packed vision of a terrifying possible tomorrow—when the only law left is "eat or be eaten"—Koloniar's Cannibal Reign is an absolute must-read for fans of TV's zombie smash hit The Walking Dead, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Lucifer's Hammer, the Mad Max movies, and, of course, Stephen King's immortal horror masterwork The Stand.

About the book
A case of corporate espionage forces a psychic detective to go on the run in this action-thriller for fans of James Rollins, Brad Thor & Douglas Preston.
"Part James Bond, part Jason Bourne, part Professor X, only smarter, wittier, and can run faster. Adrenaline action at its mind-reading best. Christopher Farnsworth's Killfile unleashes the greatest weapon ever: the human mind." —Beau Smith, creator/writer of Wynonna Earp
John Smith has a special gift that seems more like a curse: he can access other people's thoughts. He hears the songs stuck in their heads, knows their most private traumas and fears, and relives the painful memories they can't let go of. The CIA honed his skills until he was one of their most powerful operatives, but John fled the Agency and now works as a private consultant, trying to keep the dark potential of his gift in check—and himself out of trouble.
Unfortunately, John is unexpectedly plunged into dangerous waters when his latest client, billionaire software genius Everett Sloan, hires him to investigate a former employee—a tech whiz kid named Eli Preston—and search his thoughts for some very valuable intellectual property he's stolen. Before John can probe Preston's mind, however, his identity is compromised and he's on the run for his life, with Sloan's young associate, Kelsey.
Hunted by shadowy enemies with extensive resources and unknown motives, John and Kelsey must go off the grid. John knows their only hope for survival is his powers, and he'll have to use them to their fullest—even if it means putting his own sanity at risk.
