Publisher's summary

The world has fallen, but life goes on…

In the late 2020s and early 30s, corporations managed to render the major governments of the world obsolete. The big corporations owned most of the territories as well as the majority of the world’s wealth. While many of the old traditions were still observed in various parts of the world, the true power was with the corporations.

In the late 30s, what would be known as the Corporate Wars began as larger companies initiated hostile takeovers in a whole new fashion. Employees, armed with corporate weapons, warred for dominance. It was a bloody time, and many small corporations were destroyed, as were a lot of civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time…and those who’d been buying the wrong products.

On May 1st, 2067, it all ended in nuclear fire.

Sixteen outstanding authors have come to this Fallen World with stories that take place from the islands off the coast of Washington to the plains of central Europe; from the swamps of Florida to the streets of Philadelphia. These stories document the fall and introduce you to people who might just drag civilization back from the ashes.

With stories by Chris Kennedy, Brisco Woods, Jamie Ibson, David Carrico, Kevin Steverson, Philip S. Bolger, Joseph Capdepon II, Alex Rath, David Alan Jones, Derek Shupert, Ian J.Malone, Jan Kotouc, Jon R. Osborne, Mark Wandrey, Marisa Wolf and Christopher Woods.

Not my normal genre but I like it

As long as you ignore the trite “in the fallen world” and similar inserts, this whole series is ridiculously good. Like, really good. And I have never liked post-apocalyptic genre books before.

Great Series

Amazing narration and the action never stops... In this fallen world
I know some people thought the tag was trite or overused but I began guessing when it would come and was rarely disappointed. (yes, I did just say that too)
I would not have found this series if not for Audible+, this was the only title I was not able to get through the plus or Kindle Unlimited but it was truly worth the credit and I am on Book 7, Blue Crucible.
I will get books 8-13 as soon as they are recorded!

Awesome Series

I accidentally stumbled upon this series out of boredom and desperation for a replacement to a really good series I just finished and got extremely lucky with this little gem. I am about to start the last book now and I don't want it to end!

Enjoyable collection

It would be fantastic if many of these stories are made into full length books.
Actually, I would love to read guild leader Theresa Minora story.

Loved it!

Narrator is wonderful, using different voices to make the characters distinct from one another. I especially loved the origin stories of each protagonist told from the different authors; each story has its own flare and feeling. I enjoyed each one!

Action Packed

If you like action and apocalyptic stories, you will love this book. Multiple short stories involved with these, but they have all been very entertaining.

Great Collection of Stories

Absolutely enjoyed all of these stories that add to the Fallen World-verse. Sadly, every story is left open ended, leaving me wanting more. Mark Boyett is awesome as usual and never disappoints.
