Killswitch Chronicles: The Complete Anthology
Killswitch Chronicles combines the bestselling Fortress Farm series with the Haunt of Jackals storyline. Re-imagined and completely reworked, the world of the Great Reset comes to life as never before, with hundreds of pages of never before released material. All interspersed and presented in chronological order, join the Hamilton family's quest to build a lasting civilization out of the ashes of the greatest empire the world has ever known.
Killswitch Chronicles is more than just a collection of disaster novels, deeper than a simple anthology of survival tales. Through the power of story, ideas for creating a more sustainable life - even before a global catastrophe - are explained.
Throughout the series, deeper themes emerge. Consider this, why did Rome rise to become a great empire, when so many of its contemporaries faded into obscurity? How did the survivors of the collapse of Rome create new societies and fledgling nations, some of which survive to this day.
Now consider this, if the world were to become a clean slate tomorrow, with a just a few pockets of intrepid survivors spread across the vast span of the North American continent, what nations might exist a hundred years from now?
Follow the Hamilton family in the tiny farming community of Shelbyville, Illinois as it faces nearly insurmountable odds of survival against a world gone cold and dark. Instead of falling apart, small time farmers and townspeople create an oasis in the dark age, becoming a beacon of hope in an otherwise desolate world.
Imagine what horror awaits Red Morton and his small band of prison guards while trapped with thousands of viscous killers in a remote maximum security prison. Meanwhile, at a small hunting lodge just a few miles away, a brother and sister team scramble to care for stranded guests from all over the world. Before the week first week is over, both worlds will collide.
College students are trapped away from home with no way to contact or connect with family. Former senator Julia Ruff must use all of her leadership skills to lead the survivors through not only hunger, but also terror as bandits try to prey on the innocent.
Witness the struggles of the Jenkins family and their congregants as they attempt to rebuild a neighborhood in the ruins of Washington DC. With some unexpected help, they are able to turn an old school into a happy home. But what happens when those who used to be in charge of the city now decide they need what the Jenkins family has worked so hard to save?
For those who make it through the dying time, new information will emerge that the Great Reset wasn't just an accident. Choices of life and death, once completely out of their control, now rest in the palm of their hand. How they choose to use that power will determine the course of future history.
Marvel at the plots and subplots of Killswitch Chronicles as days turn into months and years turn into decades. Cheer as heroes and villains clash. Cry as real life proves the good guys don't always win. Through it all, maintain hope that as new nations rise, there might yet be a chance to create that shining city on a hill.

Riveting. Thought provoking. Believable. Worth reading.
Fabulous read. I found the first volume for free. I had to buy the whole anthology before I finished the first book! Considering the length of the anthology Killswitch is modestly priced.
Carter keeps on adding characters as the volumes progress, so there's a lot to keep track of. Yet, the characters are well developed, and fit into the premise of the original group gradually coming into contact with pockets of population that have faced the same disaster.
Written several years ago, it was eerie reading for me as our government raised our national debt to unheard amounts.
I've often wondered what would happen to our society if all of our computers quit working simultaneously. Banking, travel, entertainment, OK that's obvious, but it would also also stop the supply of electricity, natural gas, and water to consumers and render many on our home appliances useless. Ever tried to buy fast food during a power outage? We are so dependent on computers, most places are forced to shut down.
Carter has put a tremendous amount of thought into what would happen if we suddenly lost all the technology of the last 100 years.
