After The Collapse


H.H. Stinnis - 2016
    They’ve both had the undeniable feeling for some time now that something horrible is coming soon that could change their lives forever. They buy a remote cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and begin the process of preparing for hard times. When Stan’s wife dies of cancer, he must struggle to carry on alone with their plans. Then the Collapse occurs, and it’s the worst economic and social collapse in history. All commerce grinds to a halt and the dollar dies along with our markets. This collapse has been engineered to take America down, and with it the other major superpowers, and it brings about the end of modern society around the globe. Now the Elite can begin anew in North America, with new laws and a new currency to replace the dollar and the Euro. Prices soar out of control and cash is unavailable with the banks closed. Food and gasoline soon run out as supplies are not replenished and then clean water stops flowing with the loss of electricity. All emergency services cease and the politicians have deserted their country. Rule of law ends and people everywhere are fighting for their lives. America is now a place very few people were prepared for, and now many of them are regressing as well. Good and moral men are forced to live like animals in order to survive and feed their families. Stan’s military training, his cunning, and his preps are the only things that will keep him alive and safe now. Then one day Stan must choose to save a young woman or let her be raped and murdered in cold blood. Saving her means taking her in and providing for her, while not knowing if he can even trust her. Will she be a good partner for him at the cabin, or another deady foe? In the end, he gains valuable intel about a nearby group of men who are terrorizing the region. Will this group find his cabin during their searches for food and supplies? Are there others like them out there? The enemy could be anywhere now, and while Stan fought in many deadly campaigns and black operations, this is different. Gangs are leaving the cities in search of supplies, and foreign troops are rumored to be on American soil. Stan will need to make trusted friends and allies in order to overcome these new threats.

With new names and no memory of their connection, will they be able to find each other and stay together? Cara Breckenbridge’s life is torn apart when the English storm her small village. Her husband knew they were coming, but bitterness toward the English convinced him to stay and make a stand, even though he knew his wife and sons would pay the price. Cara’s husband is killed and the baron who ordered his death nearly slays her, too—only his marshal, Gabriel Montgomerie, saves her life. Instead of killing her and the lads, the baron entrusts them to Gabriel’s care, with a rather distressing order: Cara is to spy on the Scots for the English, or else the boys will be killed. Although Cara is a true Scot, she will do anything to save her family. To her shock, as she spends more time with Gabriel, she begins to realize that the Englishman is a good man...and she feels inexplicably drawn to him. But when they catch whispers of a plan being concocted by rebellious Scots, what will win out, Cara’s loyalty to her sons and the man who saved them or her love for her country ?
