Jack Turner wasn't trying to save the world. He was trying to stay alive. When monsters erupt across Earth and civilization collapses in less than a week, survival becomes the only thing that matters. After losing almost everything, Jack reaches Safe Zone Twelve-a fortified settlement where people are rebuilding their lives behind towering walls. For the first time since the apocalypse began, there is food. There is electricity. There is hope. There is a future. Then people start disappearing. Entire Safe Zones across the world are vanishing overnight. No battles. No survivors. No explanations. Just abandoned cities and mysterious countdowns that appear shortly before each collapse. When the same countdown appears above Safe Zone Twelve, Jack begins searching for answers. What he discovers is worse than the monsters outside the walls. The Safe Zones were never built to protect humanity. They were built for something else. As the countdown ticks toward zero, Jack uncovers a secret hidden at the heart of the apocalypse-one that could shatter everything humanity believes about the System. The monsters aren't the real threat. The apocalypse isn't what it seems. And humanity may not be fighting for survival at all. Because when the countdown reaches zero, something is coming to collect. Perfect for fans of System Apocalypse, LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, Settlement Building, Survival, Found Family, Monster Evolution, Epic Dark Fantasy, and High-Stakes Post-Apocalyptic Adventure.
