Troop of Shadows – Book 1 in the Troop of Shadows Chronicles

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This is the best book I have EVER read.” – Deborah B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I called in sick so I could finish this book. The best characters of any book I have read. It’s fantastic!” – Susan R.

My name is Dani. I was a slacker before society collapsed. I had to grow up fast and learn how to fight even faster.

Only 1% of humankind lived through the pandemic. Over the past year, I’ve witnessed the murder of fellow survivors, not all of them by my hand.

In my old life, I was a smart girl in a dumb job. When people first started dying, I saw the writing on the wall. I got myself and my house in survival shape while there was still time.

Something is weird about the survivors, though. Crazies and psychopaths outnumber the decent folks. I prefer to avoid people, but they won’t let me. I make them wish they had.

I’m a damn good fighter, but even I couldn’t defeat the army that came knocking on my door. Now I’m on the run with my best friend Sam to a place not infested with lunatics. Something tells me we may never find it.

If they kill all the decent people like Sam and me, they’ll surely turn the world into a human wasteland. We may be civilization’s last hope.

********************************************

My name is Steven. I was a prepper before society collapsed.

Only 1% of humankind lived through the pandemic. Over the past year, I’ve witnessed the murder of fellow survivors. Some of them were murdered by me.

In my old life, I was a hardworking family man with a beautiful family. Prepping was a part of that life too. I stupidly believed I was ready for anything. Now I am raising my son alone in this godforsaken world.

To make it worse, something is very wrong with those who remain. Crazies and psychopaths outnumber the decent folks. They’d rather torture and kill than try to make things better.

I’ve become the unlikely leader of a handful of half-starved survivors, a flock of sheep I must convert into warriors if they want to prevail against the wolves at our doors. Have I foolishly tied the fate of myself and my son to them?

We could be civilization’s last hope. If we fail, that hope will surely die along with us.

*****************************

Troop of Shadows follows the post-apocalyptic journey of four fascinating people. It contains adult language, sexual situations, and violence.
