Apocalypse 2020: Look to the Skies

by James T. Witherspoon

After the final confrontation with Orion, Scarlett finds herself separated from her friends and becomes the leader of a small group of survivors. Meanwhile, Bran has a strange new character who starts far away from Dallas. As alien spacecraft roam the skies, and new frightening creatures attack in the night, everyone must work together to defend themselves from this new threat. Outside of the game, Scarlett and Bran are now going to the same college and live only minutes away from each other. They have been happy all summer, but their separation in the game is beginning to cause conflict between them in the real world. The first expansion for Apocalypse 2020 - Look to the Skies introduces new survival mechanics, a base-building system, along with tons of new weapons, vehicles, enemies, and NPCs. This is a LitRPG / Gamelit novel that blends storytelling with game mechanics. The events in this story immediately follow the first book, Apocalypse 2020: A Wasteland LitRPG, so reading that book is necessary to understand what is happening here.

About the author

I've been creating stories my entire life. The first I can remember was a gruesome tale about a dinosaur hiding in the woods behind my house - written on construction paper and bound together with yarn. I'd like to think that I've improved somewhat since then.

I write mostly speculative fiction - sci-fi and fantasy both - and there's likely a little horror in everything I write. I'm a big fan of movies, video games, and table-top games - including Dungeons and Dragons (my other favorite form of storytelling).

I live in northern Texas, but if I had the funds, I would move to a new city every few months. Just long enough to learn the place, get accustomed to it, and then move again.
