Earth Struggles: Book Three of the When Earth Paused Series

By Susan Curry

If you were one of the 0.05% of people left on Earth after the disappearance of all the children and two plagues that killed the majority of the planet's population, what would you do? If you were listening on your shortwave radio and discovered that others like you were heading to Key West, Florida, where fishing was abundant, and there was a chance to live cooperatively with others, would you go? Your parents and friends are dead, corpses litter the streets, and, after two years of struggling, food is becoming scarce. What if your Border Collie companions suddenly became much smarter than they ever were and actively helped you survive? But it's getting harder to keep everyone fed, and you're bone-tired of trying. You suspect an alien race has been part of what's happening, but there's no way to know for sure. What would you do?
In Earth Struggles, the survivors of the plagues that decimated Earth's population live in twenty colonies scattered across the planet. Thanks to the generosity of the alien species that started it all, they now have a limited supply of power pods to run electrical plants, factories, s and other necessities. Whoever controls the pods is the real power in each colony, and newcomers are itching to take control of the pods and the colonists. A powerful evil entity has taken over one of the colonists, controlling his actions and putting the survivors at risk. Some of the twenty colonies that have survived are also reverting back to their pre-Ripple ways, with genocide, dictatorship, and war against their neighbors. The bright future envisioned by the Key West survivors seems to have dimmed, and the threat of nuclear war is imminent. The aliens overseeing the entire experiment are having second thoughts, and the owner of Earth is contemplating another plague to eliminate humans...
