FIRESTORM: Wave of Ruin Book 3: A Post-Apoc/Disaster Thriller
A desperate escape from Fort Lauderdale spirals into a desperate flight across the Appalachian foothills for Wyatt and Willow, while the power-hungry HOA forces Sierra, Jack and Hadley to face not only flames, but the collapse of all order and reason in Wave of Ruin Book 3.
From the 4.5-million-copy bestselling author Mike Kraus comes another gripping series, written with bestseller Marcus Richardson!
Terrorists launch the most devastating attack in American history, crippling the nation's ports and train stations in a coordinated strike. Cruise ships vanish in flame, states go dark and on board the last ship still afloat, Wyatt and Willow Carter are about to witness the final blow.
Trapped aboard the Emperor of the Seas as it approaches Miami, the Carters are separated when terrorists strike from within.
Meanwhile, back home in Wisconsin, their children Jack and Hadley, along with Wyatt's sister Sierra, face a different kind of war.
With the ship under siege and a nuclear weapon on board, Wyatt joins forces with a desperate security team in a last-ditch effort to reclaim control and prevent his wife and himself from certain death.
As the power fails, the cold sets in and neighbors turn hostile, the safety of Jack, Hadley and Sierra's home becomes a battleground.
Across dual fronts on land and sea, one family fights to survive in a world unraveling by the hour.

A new match in the tinder box!
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2025
Format: Kindle
Firestorm, book 3 in the Wave Of Ruin series, continues where Castaways ended, with Wyatt and Willow desperately struggling to make it back to Wisconsin as Sierra, Jackson, Hadley and Erin handle things at home against Davenport, Haestin and his 'reavers'. The big highlight of this series is the non-stop pace of the action that couldn't be better matched to the plot and dialogue. The characters are truly well composed as well, with Erin providing an occasional laugh line to keep it from feeling too heavy. The descriptions of events and environments are superb as well. Overall, 5/5 stars, highly recommended to fans of thrillers, especially fans of disaster and apocalyptic survival thrillers. No-one who starts this series will be disappointed, this is the series by Kraus and Richardson with the widest appeal to the wider thriller audience!
