Descrizione
A collection of original apocalyptic novellas by Brian Keene, Tim Lebbon, Brian Knight and Geoff Cooper.
One-Eyed Jack by Geoff Cooper
On 7 December, 1941, Lance Corporal Jack Austin, USMC, found his reason for existence. Having survived the Japanese sneak attack at Pearl Harbor, he agrees to join a select and covert operation to expand the war by means the enemy never imagined but who the enemy is becomes less clear, and who is running the show is even more vague as time goes on. Is it some secret arm of the US government, or the mysterious Kwan? The lines blur. Are the Japanese the enemy, or is the ignorance of mankind the real foe? And how does one win, when war is the only reason to live? There can be only one answer: the final battle at the end of time...and he waits for one half-second after.
Blinding Death by Brian Knight
This is how the world ends not with a whimper, but a bang. End times have come. We have suffered famine. We have spawned pestilence. We have waged war. Now comes The Fist of God, and in its wake, Death, and Death's army. For the survivors of one small town's apocalypse the only way to live safely is through the heart of Death's army, but when Death itself stands to stop them, only one of them can stand against it.
Meat by Tim Lebbon
In a time when the land is dead, water is scarce, famine is rife, the Horsemen ride, and death is the only escape, the main currency is...meat.
White Fire by Brian Keene
In White Fire, the master of the apocalypse, Brian Keene, serves up a tale of a devastating sickness sweeping the land. Is it biological or supernatural in nature?
