Along the way they face a desperate and starving population, rampant violence from street gangs and escaped convicts, and powerful warlords created as an unintended consequence of the federal government’s ill-advised use of mercenaries.

    When America is hit with combination punches of massive meteor strikes and an EMP attack, the USS Florida is safely out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The captain and crew of this nuclear powered guided missile submarine soon find themselves in the middle of a global conflict between China and the USA. Their mission could change or even end the world as we know it. Introduction by Steve Konkoly: In The Perseid Collapse Series, the United States takes a serious beating at the hands of the People’s Republic of China. Not until book four, do readers catch a glimpse of the tables turning. A small, but satisfying look at America striking back. When I first spoke with David about writing in the Perseid Collapse Kindle World, I knew he was in the middle of writing a story set onboard a submarine — and that David was the author to bring America’s fight to the Chinese. When I gave him a small sneak peek at Dispatches, book four in my series, he saw the same thing. It was the perfect opportunity to expand an unexplored storyline, taking full advantage of David’s strength and experience as an author. David has made a career writing bestselling stories based on the high seas. He continues the tradition with Retribution, a high-speed story about the USS Florida, a nuclear powered submarine sent on the ultimate mission — to avenge America. As a former naval officer, I thoroughly enjoyed David’s hard-hitting story, and I know you will too. America is not out of the fight!

     "The worst has happened. Humanity has fallen. Ten years ago, a virus decimated my species, and left nothing in its wake but death and despair. There is no future. There is no hope. Some of us did survive, the lucky few who are immune to the plague, but that just left us alone and helpless in a world without rules. "In its darkest hour, humanity needs a hero. I’ve survived the worst we are capable of, and come out scarred but determined to struggle on against all the odds. Those who would make me a victim again will soon learn better. I won't let it happen again, not to me and not to any of my people. I can't. There are too many people looking up to me now. Too many people who need my help. "We cannot – no, we will not! – let this virus become our extinction event. We will endure. We will rebuild. It may take us generations, but the world we leave for our children will not be the one our parents left for us. Heroes are not born but created, forged in the crucible of extraordinary deeds performed by ordinary men and women in the name of the greater good. "My name is Sandrine McDermott. I am a survivor, and this is my tale." *** The Survivors: Heroic Edition contains the following: - The Survivors Book I: Summer - The Survivors Book II: Autumn - The Survivors Book III: Winter - The Survivors Book IV: Spring

With Ellen disabled, it is up to Frank to assume the duties of Captain. Hoping he has made a decision that will keep them all safe, he sets a course south into Cuban waters. What they discover in Cuba is enough to convince them that this tragedy is not confined to the United States alone. They are witness to a family who will do anything to see that they will live on.

However, when they finally reach Panamanian waters, Limon Bay is empty of cargo or pleasure ships waiting to cross through the canal. The wind carried the unmistakable odor of decay and smoke.

Not the lights of a thriving community, but the few they do see indicate some people had to have survived.To know anything concrete, it is up to Frank and Alan to leave their anchorage and go ashore. They had not wanted to leave the girls alone on the boat, but they all agreed they had to know if they could cross or not. What they found left them struggling to understand why anyone would want to bring down the world in such a heartless cold-blooded manner. Most people were dead either from starvation, or killed for what they had. To compound matters, they learned an illness much like a super-flu has decimated those that have survived. They could only pray it was not the same illness to decimate Cuba. If it was, they would not be able to return to the Annie-C and take the plague back with them.
