"Maybe it's always the end of the world. Maybe you’ve alive for a while, and then you realize you’re going to die, and that’s such an insane thing to comprehend, you look around for answers and the only answer is that the world must die with you." ~Jess Walter
Four different stories, one terrible event...this is the Deconstruction Series
Book One – Dust to Dust
In the blink of an eye, Randall and his family are ripped from their life in the suburbs and cast into a struggle for survival. A series of torrential storms turn the roads into rivers and tears apart the power grid. Unexplainable earthquakes decimate the city, cutting them off from whatever civilization remains. And that's just the beginning....
Their isolated neighborhood can only protect them for so long. As society spirals into the depths, the worst of mankind lurch out of the darkness, to take what they can.
In a world without answers or rules, where the costs of food and water are paid in blood, Randall must make an impossible decision. Does he risk the life of his young family and venture into the remnants of a ruined world or does he stay back and pray that help makes it before the gates fall?
Book Two – The Mayflower Project
The World is falling apart and only Max Neilman knows why.
Max lives two lives. In one he’s an unassuming climatologist for NOAA. In the other, he runs a secret government project that only a handful of people know exist. He’s been burning the candle at both ends for years, but now his paper life is about to come crumbling down with the rest of the world.
After a rough week of work, Max and his girlfriend Cindy, decide to burn off some steam and head out for a night in the city with two friends. Their little party turns into a cyclone of chaos when Max’s worst nightmares become reality.
As the group struggles to make it out of the crumbling city, Max reveals a secret that threatens to tear them apart. Mother nature is doing her best to kill them, but it’s the shadows and webs of lies that might spell their doom.
Take a step closer to the end of the world and learn the secrets that lie within THE MAYFLOWER PROJECT
Book Three – Flight Plan
The Government always has a plan, it just doesn’t always include you.
MJ has known the world was ending for years. She spent her career making sure that information never became public knowledge. Now, she’s about to find out just how far she’ll go, to keep her bag of secrets.
During a flight home from New York, a massive storm sends MJ’s plane plunging into the river. Surviving the crash and escaping the frigid water is the easy part. With a planet raging against humanity and a society on the brink of all out anarchy, MJ has no one to turn to but herself.
Time is running out and as MJ embarks on a cross-country journey she finds that it’s not just the clock she’s racing against.
The date was October 31, 1979. The air was cool and a light fog blew in from the gulf, cloaking the Tampa area in an ominous, tight-fitting tunic. The annual Halloween festivities had just begun and a night of mischievous tomfoolery was afoot.
Scandalous and nefarious characters took flight. Doorbells were rung and ill-boding tricks were played regardless of the treats given. This was the dark reality of the bustling Florida metropolitan.
To the north, Grateful Dead crooned the night's theme music at the Nassau Coliseum. Within earshot of the concert, witnesses stated a UFO hovered over the grounds for thirty minutes before vanishing.
At the same time the Cromarty's were busy hosting their notorious Halloween party at 112 Ocean Ave., better known as the Amityville Horror House. Screams and cries for help were reported throughout the night, punctuated with the disappearance of the family next door. They were never heard from again.
Unknowingly altering the course of history, Kurt Vonnegut released "Jailbird" the same week KISS gained infamy on The Tomorrow Show. The aftermath of this collision would not be felt for decades until the emergence of Justin Bieber.
After a night filled with mayhem and destruction and the deaths of several prominent entertainers, politicians and a notorious bank robber, the Federal government was forced to loan $1.5 billion dollars to Chrysler. This spurred a series of violent protests, resulting in the Brunah Agate oil spill. Over 10.7 million gallons of oil were dumped into the Galveston Bay. This became the worst oil spill disaster in U.S. history.
A few hours later on November 1, 1979, Rashad Freeman was born. Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
