Publisher's summary

Five-books-in-one complete box set! From the USA Today best-selling author, Amazon all-star award winner, and top 10 sci-fi writer of The Last War, Dark Days of the After, These Times of Abandon, and Population Zero comes a high-concept, adrenaline-fueled post-apocalyptic survival thriller like no other....

If the grid goes down and all hell breaks loose, will you have what it takes to survive?

A family breaking apart, a missing girl, the worst attack in American history…

.…how do you survive the collapse when you have already hit rock bottom?

When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, several groups of survivors are left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or the last chapter of humanity itself.

Are humans in their final days?

The EMP has officially crippled the nation and her infrastructure sits in ruin. Can a burned-out DEA agent, a Guatemalan-born cartel daughter, and an estranged brother find their way back to their families, or will they succumb to the perils of a nation in steep decline?

Also available individually in paperback and Kindle editions.

The Complete Age of Embers is a no-holds-barred post-apocalyptic adventure series chronicling a nationwide descent into a powerless world. Although this series is written in the Last War universe, and characters from each series overlap, the two sagas can be enjoyed independent of each other.

The Complete Age of Embers Series:

  • The Age of Embers
  • The Age of Hysteria
  • The Age of Reprisal
  • The Age of Exodus
  • The Age of Defiance

Note: This series contains the kind of strong violence and adult situations you would expect in an end-times event. Listener discretion advised.

Now scroll up, grab yourself a copy of the box set, and settle in for one heck of a ride through the apocalypse!

Good price and good story

This was easy to finish. Each time my timer stopped i would add 15 minutes more. Characters were explained and the silver queen was a good villain!

Excellent

All confess, there were moments through this story that were difficult to listen to. but, that was the entire point. this is a wonderful entry to the genre, and I applaud the author for his excellent work and to the narrator for doing it justice.

Totally Believable

In this crazy world we live, I could see how this apocalyptic story, could become reality. Ryan wrote a masterpiece, violent and bloody, yet detailed and beautifully written. Kevin Pierce brought to life all of the characters and made them very believable.

Great value for the series!

If post, apocalyptic thrillers are your thing, this will definitely fit the bill. It was a great story. I feel like it was longer than it needed to be but I enjoyed the idea of something other than zombies after the apocalypse. And I got this series on a good deal for one credit, and it was well worth it, I might try some of the author’s other work.

Character development is key

Great how the story pulled all the main characters together. A few big losses you don’t see coming.

How true this story could be

The characters were so real and the title brought such emotion to be real in each.
