It started with the "Biggest" stock market crash in history. Banks shut down under the weight of their bogus investments, and the financial sector failed. People looked to the government to make it all better. They couldn"t! Hyper-inflation, ma.s.s unemployment and infrastructure started to breakdown. The food trucks didn"t show up at the stores and the shelves went empty.
The Fall of America: Book 1 Premonition of Death is the beginning of a new series, about an average man who"s life goes downhill fast, once society breaks down. Set in the rural south, a scorched-earth showdown with some local thugs leaves John and his wife homeless, and on the run. He hears rumors of a survivalist group made up of former military personnel, and finding them may be his only hope. Just basic survival becomes vicious, resistance at any cost, as the devastated country comes under new siege-invading Russian troops.

2414 and it"s all gone.
No more electric grid, nor government, or Presidents... just tribes, regional packs of survivors who make their way in a devastated America ripped apart by a second bitter Civil War.
In a time of struggle and strife, only the vigilant survive, and The Eagle People must compete with their neighbors, The Mountain People and The Wolf Clan for every life-preserving resource. Horses, bows and hatchets have replaced the ammo-less a.s.sault rifles and worthless cars. Defending their hunting grounds with their rudimentary weapons means The Eagle People stand a chance, losing them means tribal extinction.
Until now the Eagle People had some advantages - access to the sacred Books of Knowledge, culled from the blacked ruins of once great book houses. With these books, their "Learned Ones" are slowly discovering long-forgotten skills and tools. When the Wolf Clan suddenly discovers a new terrifying weapon, the pistol, things change. Though few in number, The Wolf Clan uses their advantage to attack and enslave The Eagle People, igniting a new war and disturbing the fragile balance of power in the neighboring tribes.
