Collapse“Tantalizing. . . . Nuclear holocaust, savagery, and space aliens converge on Cleveland in a competent start to a five-part series.” —Kirkus Reviews A series of electromagnetic pulses brought the world to its knees. But that wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning. Some who survived turned to Taylor MacPherson, and he has given them hope. After many years, they’ve carved out a bastion of democracy in the sea of chaos that is the post-apocalyptic Earth. His people are proud of what they’ve built. They are free and willing to fight for a new society of rules and order, but can they handle what comes next? But outsiders were watching. For thirty years a massive spaceship from the alien Qu’uda’s has been heading for Earth. Our planet would make a perfect new home. The aliens have invested their lives in the search for a new breeding home. They intend to take it all. |
