The Dark 4: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Serial

By Christopher Greyson

Book Overview

After The Dark plunged civilization into ruin, the world belonged to the monsters.

One year ago, every computer chip on Earth stopped working. The power grid collapsed. Communication vanished. Nation attacked nation. Modern civilization died overnight.

Now the isolated mountain town of Ridgecrest fights to survive in a world ruled by fear, violence, and creatures that should not exist.

When his daughter. Bre, is kidnapped, washed-up ex-soldier Cain Haight is forced to leave the safety of Ridgecrest and venture into the darkness. To bring Bre home, he'll have to trust the last people he ever wanted at his side: his sharp-tongued ex-wife Lucy, her hardheaded, tender hearted, redneck mother, and Mercy, a gentle Amish woman whose faith is all that stands between her and despair.

But the kidnappers are only the beginning.

Beyond the ruined cities and abandoned highways, something far worse is waiting. Something engineered. Something hunting.

As an army of monstrous creatures descends on Ridgecrest, Cain and the scattered survivors must make an impossible stand against an enemy determined to wipe out what remains of humanity. In the battle ahead, loyalty will be tested, sacrifices will be demanded, and survival may come at a price no one is willing to pay.

For fans of A.G. Riddle, Franklin Horton, Bobby Adair, and post-apocalyptic thrillers packed with action, suspense, and unforgettable characters, this gripping adventure delivers a relentless fight for humanity's future.

In a broken world, staying alive isn't enough. Some fights cost everything.
