This is book four in the Earth's Survivors series. The planet is reeling from an extinction event. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes; all started after a near miss from a rouge meteor. The living are few, but those who have survived are picking up the pieces and looking for other survivors... Somehow it seemed that with John's death they had lost their drive to get out of the city: They had settled into the factory and within a few days others had begun to join them. At first Bear had done his best to dissuade them, silence and moodiness seemed to be his only persona for most of that time, but Madison and Cammy welcomed newcomers and got them set up with sleeping areas inside the factory. They also organized daily outings for supplies, and that enabled Bear to get a better idea of the area they were in. They had left in the early morning of May 2nd, Bear and Cammy on foot, Madison and Rob, one of the newcomers, in a truck to cruise the fields looking for deer or cows which seemed to be everywhere you looked, at least until you wanted one, Madison had joked...

This is book five in the Earth's Survivors series. A civilization ending event has destroyed most of Earth's population. Her cities are leveled. Government, military, police are all gone. The few people left alive are noticing that a new type of life is rising from the ashes of the old world. Something alive, yet not precisely alive... The Nation begins to rise from the ashes of the old world... The attack came fast when it came. Mike only remembered the details after the fact. Molly had the right side, Tim the left, Mike had taken a lead of fifty feet or so right up through the middle of the tall grass. It left him blind for the most part. The grass was higher than his head in most places, unless he walked right on the hump in the middle of the old road, and that was not an easy task. He found himself spending too much time concentrating on the next footfall. So, he came down off the hump and walked slowly beside it. Watching for darker shadows within the golden brown of the grass. He turned his head to look over to the right and Molly when his eye had caught movement in the trees just over her head. There was no time for thought. He swung his rifle up and fired. He had no time to register what he had accomplished. He dropped his eyes from the woods, alerted by a yell from Tim on the other side of him and the Zombie was on him just that fast.

This is the third book in the Earth's Survivors series. An extinction event has wiped billions of peoples from the Earth. Those that remain are scattered, distrustful of any other survivors they see, and with good reason. Some of the survivors are the worst of the worst. Some of the survivors are less than human in fact. The survivors are on the road looking for a place to begin again... Mike awoke before dawn. He lay quietly, feeling the heat from Candace's body where it pressed up against his, and thinking about what the future might be. The first thing he had thought was that whatever had happened to the world would be made right. That somewhere there was someone still in charge, and eventually that person would get everything back on track. The world would be fun again. Television, phones, electricity, the Internet, the mortgage on his house, all of it...

The world is astonished by the resurrection of the brilliant Antichrist, the murdered tyrant who ruled the global community with an iron fist. Now empowered by Lucifer, once the guardian of God's throne, the vengeful dictator and his miracle-working prophet begin the systematic destruction of their enemies. In this chaotic maelstrom, the God-fearers bravely refuse to give allegiance to a new world order that is diametrically opposed to their beliefs. The ageless battle for the hearts and souls of mankind is waged in every nation on earth, and a multitude of God-fearers are punished for their mutinous stand by imprisonment, torture, and death. Cosmic disturbance dramatically announces the coming day of the Lord. Suddenly, millions vanish in the twinkling of an eye, prompting the Antichrist to boast of victory over his enemies. Ironically, the sudden disappearance enrages earth's inhabitants, already maddened by events that are beyond their control. Simultaneously, God begins to pour out his wrath upon the earth in a series of judgments that devastate the planet. But before the disappearance, the torch is passed to a chosen number of Jews. They, along with a new generation of believers, boldly proclaim the message of Jesus until he gloriously returns to the land of his birth. There, in the sands of the Middle East, Christ defeats the evil Antichrist and his followers as he prepares to reign over his temporal kingdom on earth.

A Sunday Times (London), Best Book of 2018 “A thoughtful, entertaining, and occasionally profound critical study of the texts that entertain, move and, sometimes, shape us.” —The Spectator (London) “A bold, witty, and brilliantly argued analysis of the role pop culture has played in the rise of American extremism.” —Ruth Reichl “You'll never look at your favorite movies and TV shows the same way again. And you shouldn't.” —Steven Soderbergh A bestselling cultural journalist shows how pop culture prepared Americans to embrace extreme politics Almost everything has been invoked to account for Trump's victory and the rise of the alt-right, from job loss to racism to demography—everything, that is, except popular culture. In The Sky Is Falling bestselling cultural journalist Peter Biskind dives headlong into two decades of popular culture—from superhero franchises such as the Dark Knight, X-Men, and the Avengers and series like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to thrillers like Homeland and 24—and emerges to argue that these shows are saturated with the values that are currently animating our extreme politics. Where once centrist institutions and their agents—cops and docs, soldiers and scientists, as well as educators, politicians, and "experts" of every stripe—were glorified by mainstream Hollywood, the heroes of today's movies and TV, whether far right or far left, have overthrown this quaint ideological consensus. Many of our shows dramatize extreme circumstances—an apocalypse of one sort or another—that require extreme behavior to deal with, behavior such as revenge, torture, lying, and even the vigilante violence traditionally discouraged in mainstream entertainment. In this bold, provocative, and witty investigation, Biskind shows how extreme culture now calls the shots. It has become, in effect, the new mainstream.

During the 1950s and early 1960s, school air-raid drills, bomb shelters, and unnerving civil defense films served as constant reminders of the looming threat of nuclear war. Throughout America, a widespread civil defense effort used town meetings, public school educational programs, and the mass media--television, radio, and especially, motion pictures--to mobilize every citizen for a protracted Cold War. This volume explores how American popular culture has portrayed civil defense from mid-twentieth century to the immediate post-September 11 era. With analysis of everything from early government propaganda films and 1950s science fiction films to Happy Days, the Reagan-era TV movie The Day After, and the small-screen nostalgia trend after 9/11, it shows how popular culture reflects American fears and the hope of preparedness.
