Troop of Shadows
Book 1 in the Troop of Shadows Chronicles Series
This book was awarded the #1 Bestseller Badge on Amazon
A catastrophic pandemic ravages the globe, reducing the human population to extinction levels and cleansing the world of mediocrity.
A doomsday prepper, a molecular geneticist, a journal-keeping loner, and a martial arts-trained nerd survive the disease that annihilated almost everyone else on the planet. Despite the miles between Kansas and California, Texas and Arizona, the four share a connection.
They realize that not dying was the easy part.
Now a year later, they navigate a bleak world…one without technology, without modern medicine, and without law and order. They must unify their diverse strengths not only to rebuild civilization but to battle those who would forge empires through brutality and oppression.
“There is one who would rule the world or see it burn.”
Fans of Stephen King’s The Stand, Hugh Howey’s Wool series, and Markus Sakey’s Brilliance trilogy will love this novel. Intricately plotted, superbly paced, and brought to life by fully-developed protagonists, quirky supporting characters, and charming villains, the Troop of Shadows Chronicles is a tour de force. It is the unfolding story of the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and is populated with some of the most entertaining people you’ll ever meet.
Over 3000 Amazon reviews and counting.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Troop of Shadows! Excellent plot, fantastic writing and the best character development I have ever seen. I purposely paced myself so as not to finish it too quickly. Do yourself a favor and start reading immediately!
…Actually, to be honest, this is the second time I’ve read it (and I’ll be going on to the others as well). And why? Because I like the story, obviously but, more, I really love the characters — all different, well-drawn, complete characters done in such a way that one is able to keep track of who each of them are — which is not always easy with multi-story, multi-character novels. Each of the individual stories are interwoven in ways that feel natural, and yet, a bit mystical which it just might be the point.
Easy read and tough to put down. I loved it and now my older son is reading it and is enjoying it. I plan to purchase the full set of books. Seems to be written for the silver screen and that’s OK. If done right could be a fantastic TV series or movie with sequels…but let’s finish the full series of books first. Good stuff.
