With his arrival home, Jed is greeted not with a hug, but with gunfire, and must seek out his scattered family in the hopes of reuniting and surviving in book 6 of Yesterday's End.
In Michigan's upper peninsula, a mother and her two children quietly work on their family farm, unaware of the death and devastation that is soon to come.
In Las Vegas at a business conference, the family's father barely survives the first wave of horror - but his safety is anything but assured.
The #1 best-selling and most prolific post-apocalyptic author - with over 3.5 million books sold - Mike Kraus is back, writing with Paula Lester to bring you a tale of survival and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
A massive storm bears down on Texas, unleashing tornadoes and hurricane force winds that level entire buildings, including a food processing plant that is unknowingly storing a large quantity of dimethlmercury - a devastingly dangerous neurotoxin.
As this toxin is swept into the atmosphere and spread across the country by the storm system, millions who are in its path die from exposure - but the worst is yet to come. Before the storms hit, the processing plant inadvertently shipped the mercury across the country, resulting in a contamination of processed foods unlike anything in history.
As the death toll rises astrononically across the country from both the toxic storms and poisoned food, any survivors are faced with a simple how can they possible survive?

This was a very good book which ends a good series. The science to explain how storms put so much dimethylmercury into the environment world-wide is rather lacking and the explanation doesn't quite do it. The strength was the characters, many of whom I did like a lot especially Evelyn, Ernie, Jane and Mike and, of course, Storm. There were a lot of good people along the way like the doctor in Nashville, the hospital in Green Bay and the farm people who helped Jed and his group. I also like that the government was the good guys and trying to help; a nice change from books where the government is bad or responsible etc. There were some editing issues, not terribly distracting but there. Still this series was very much worth the read.
I loved this story, good levels of action & excitement, really interesting plot & ideas. Everything I want really in this type of story & well written to boot! A good fun read!
Renewed is the final book in the excellent Yesterday's End series. Jed's return home does not go as planned, Bea's is still suffering frequent seizures following her dimethylmercury exposure, Kyle Murphy is still terrorizing the Waite clan. Bad goes missing triggering a massive search and Evelyn and Ernie are baptized into the Waite clan by gunfire. Literally. Mike has an unexpected health issue as well. The book is everything a fan of apocalyptic fiction is looking for: great characters, great plot, perfect pacing, believable dialogue, every aspect is first rate. I can confidently recommend this book to anyone who has read the previous books, in fact those who read the rest of the series will have awaited this as much as I did! 5/5 stars! Great finale to a great series! Do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in Yesterday's Gone ASAP!
The apocalyptic Yesterday's End series by Paula Lester and Mike Kraus reaches its climax with Book 6, Renewed, as the Waite family members and their friends fight tooth and nail, to retake their homestead and deal out extreme justice to Kyle, their murderous nemesis. A showdown at the secret beach sees a new dynamic form in the community, and after much thought new protocols are agreed, leading to hope and happiness for all, going forward. Why not try Renewed today... it's a bold new chapter in post-Apocalyptic survival thriller epics!
Another awesome book filled with danger, suspense and questions. Jed may have gotten home but what greeted him is totally unexpected. Will he survive this. Ready for more.
