Luck is When: A Survivalist Odyssey: A Quiet Apocalypse of Making, Memory, and Moral Choice
When the world collapses, survival does not belong to the strongest.
It belongs to the ones who know how to make.
As cities rot and order dissolves, Stu moves quietly through the ruins—avoiding people, avoiding noise, avoiding notice. He scavenges gardens no one remembers planting. He builds alarms from trash. He hides not to wait for rescue, but to let violence burn itself out.
This is not a story about heroes with guns.
It is a story about invisibility, craft, and the fragile ethics that survive after law is gone.
When Stu rescues a child from human predators, his philosophy of isolation fractures. Survival becomes responsibility. Making becomes duty. And the question at the heart of the collapse
What kind of world is worth surviving if individual life no longer matters?
Luck Is Book I — A Survivalist Odyssey is a quiet, tense, morally driven post-apocalyptic novel about stealth instead of strength, intelligence instead of firepower, and the thin line between endurance and humanity.
Perfect for readers of literary survival fiction, slow-burn apocalypse, and psychologically grounded dystopian narratives.
