Graham's Resolution: What the world dreads most has happened....

The Bitter Earth is a return to The China Pandemic's beginnings. The first half is the tale of what actually happened in those early days - the panic that ensued. Meet Sheriff's partner, Officer Lincoln Asher, and experience those last days.

The second half is set eight years into the future after The Malefic Nation. With so few left behind, how will they maintain a society, or will they become a nation of lonely scavengers?

Order of Graham's Resolution:

  • The China Pandemic, Book One
  • The Cascade Preppers, Book Two
  • The Last Infidels, Book Three
  • The Malefic Nation, Book Four
  • The Bitter Earth, Book Five

If you love dystopian postapocalyptic books by such authors as A. American, Steven Konkoly, or Tom Abrahams, you'll like Graham's Resolution. Fans of One Second After, Lucifer's Hammer, Into the Forest, and The Stand did too.

Strong finish

One of the best books in the series, both a prequel and an epilogue that ties the entire story together perfectly.

Rushed but good

I felt this book was rushed to wrap up loose ends just to leave room for another book. I can't wait for it though! I enjoyed this series. The characters were very likable and well developed throughout the series. I would have loved to have more detail on some of the character relationships. There was a lot of time spent on some of the relationships, but at times and left you wanting more but then one book ends and there are a time jump and you are left with a lot of questions. The way she wrote these books made you think about their situations and how they fit into this world.

Disappointed end.

very disappointed in the last book. started at the beginning then ended with the end. Very confusing end while the series was very good. I would have preferred not reading the one.

The Bitter Earth

I was looking forward to this book because I enjoyed the series. Unfortunately I found this and honestly book 6 and 7 to be very disappointing. When narration adjusted to a speed people actually use when talking these were very short books and should have been combined into one. For me to much time had gone by since the last book was released that I lost interest in the characters and series. The first half of this was a prequel to book one and really did not add to the story. The last hour of the book was set 8 years after book four. I actually purchased book 6 and 7 before reading this just based on the first 4 books in the series, a mistake I won't make again.
