In the shadows of a fractured world, survival demands resilience—and sacrifice.
When the distant hum of a helicopter shatters the peace of Ash and Caleb Solomon’s fishing trip, it’s a stark reminder that Beartooth’s isolation is no longer a shield. Their secluded mountaintop community, once a sanctuary, has become a precarious target in a world spiraling into chaos.
As longer, harsher winters descend due to the government’s geoengineering program, Beartooth’s residents race to fortify their defenses, find new energy sources, and secure enough food to endure. But the challenges of survival go far beyond the elements. The outside world is unraveling, and Beartooth’s ruthless neighbors are watching.
When conflict finally arrives at their doorstep, retreating may be their only option. But will stepping back protect them—or only delay the inevitable?
In a world of growing threats, the fight for survival begins with unity, ingenuity, and the courage to confront the unknown.
Kim McMahill started out writing nonfiction, but her passion for adventure, stories of survival against the odds, and speculating about the future of humanity and our planet, soon turned her attention towards fiction. She has published eleven novels, over eighty travel and human-interest articles, and contributed to a travel story anthology. Growing up in a beautiful mountain west community, traveling the world, and enjoying a twenty-year career with the National Park Service, has given her the opportunity to live in amazing places, experience incredible adventures, and witness many changes in our world, all of which have helped shape her stories.
Ash and Caleb seem to have a peaceful life in their isolated mountain community. But nothing stays the same as you discover in Ms. McMahill's third book, Isolated from Anarchy. This is the best book yet, and it was great when Ash and Caleb started a family. Its a great read following the couple's growth in strength and courage throughout the unknown forces they're confronted with. I highly recommend this series.
