Aftermath: The End is Only the Beginning

By Steven Lockewood

Perfect for fans of Fallout, The Road, and I Am Legend

In a world turned to ash, survival is only the beginning.

Years after the world collapsed under mysterious, apocalyptic forces, the remnants of humanity live in fear-of mutants, cannibals, and the unexplained change that wiped civilization from memory. Most avoid asking questions. Not Loner.

Wandering the barrens with his two-tailed companion Butch-a massive, mutated dog with a loyal heart-Loner scavenges old ruins, dodging death at every turn while piecing together clues to the past. Each newspaper clipping, each artifact from a forgotten time, brings him closer to an answer that no one else seems to care about: What really happened to the world?

When a scavenging mission for a vital machine part leads him to a warehouse crawling with cannibals-and something far worse-Loner must rely on his instincts, his blade, and Butch to survive. What he finds in the heart of darkness will test not only his strength, but his humanity.

As allies emerge from unlikely places and the stakes grow ever higher, Loner realizes that the end of the world may have been just the beginning-and the truth could be more dangerous than anything he's faced before.
