Foundations: The Cozy Zombie Apocalypse Series: book 2 - The gentlest apocalypse you'll ever read
No graphic violence. No on-page zombies. Just people building community, finding purpose, and discovering that even when everything falls apart, we can create something worth saving.
Perfect for fans of cozy post-apocalyptic fiction who believe that humanity's greatest strength lies not in what we build, but in who we become together.
Foundations is the heartwarming second book in the Island Survivors series—a cozy apocalypse story where hope blooms alongside the gardens, where music lightens hard work, where children's laughter matters as much as food storage, and where the end of the world becomes the beginning of something beautiful.
Six months into the apocalypse, survival isn't enough anymore. It's time to build something lasting.
The initial panic has faded. The gardens planted in desperation are now producing food. The strangers who arrived on the island as frightened refugees have become neighbors, friends, and family. But as summer transitions to fall, the community faces a crucial Can they really survive here long-term?
Martha Greene watches her people transform from desperate survivors into skilled builders of a new life. Henry Williams learns that letting go of control is sometimes the strongest choice. Young Sofia Ortega discovers her gift for botany while honoring her grandmother's memory. And Pete Moore finds unexpected purpose in his obsessive woodworking projects that bring joy to the community's children.
As the days grow shorter and winter approaches, the island's residents establish the foundations that will carry them forward, not just physical structures, but traditions, rituals, and relationships. Tommy's sea shanties echo across the marina each morning. Lars's coffee shop becomes the heart of daily gatherings. Claire's community journal captures their journey for future generations. And through it all, Rosa's kitchen continues to transform limited ingredients into love made edible.
But building something lasting requires more than practical skills. It demands trust, flexibility, and the courage to create beauty in the midst of survival. From the first successful harvest to the installation of solar-powered lights, from conflicts resolved to gratitude shared, the community learns that they're not just surviving anymore—they're living.
