But the reviews and growing readership proved that it was more. It transcended its original target audience to appeal to many who had no previous interest in survivalism or preparedness as a lifestyle and made the jump to general adventure fiction.The reasons for this were several. It was well written, expansive in scope yet easy to follow. It told an interesting, compelling, story - intricate in its construction but smooth in its presentation. It introduced well-developed characters who jumped from the pages and spoke to the reader as easily and completely as do those around us, with thoughtful depth and easy humor. It spoke to our hearts, our souls, and the parts of us that search for a better way. But, more importantly, it asked, and answered, the seminal questions of our lives: Who are we? What do we believe in? What do we stand for? What will we stand against? And what is it, at our core, that enables ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things?Where The Reversion left off, The Revival picks up. From survival of an existential collapse, we enter the initial stages of the rebuilding of a society - a rebuilding seen through the eyes of those from Stonemont, and, eventually, beyond.As it should, The Revival takes us beyond The Reversion into a world we do not know, and cannot know, unless and until it happens. In doing so, it addresses unknown and unknowable situations with known and knowable human traits, tactics and strategies in pursuit of the stabilization of a world turned upside down. It is James Wesley, Rawles meets S.M. Stirling. It is a study of love, fortitude, morality, patriotism and the things that made America great, a critique of what caused the world to crumble, and a blueprint for the revival of those things we feel to be foundational for a people to return to a world of liberty, justice and freedom.As did The Reversion, The Revival breathes hope and fresh air into a genre which often, and rightly, concentrates on the devastation of society, and shows us a future world which is, in many ways, more positive than the one in which we currently live. Many readers, in fact, have stated that they prefer the world they have found in the Stonemont series to the one we live in. It can easily be understand why. The Revival continues the journey The Reversion started. It is a journey of life, love, learning and the human spirit. It is a journey you will be glad you are on.

    However, after a thousand years, a dictator arose in the core of the galaxy and took the name Rage Kahn. He secretly built a large fleet of warships and went out to conquer the galaxy; it took more than two-hundred years to finally defeat his forces. The Rager War finally ended, but the damage was done. Vast swaths of space around the core of the galaxy were blasted back into primitive existence and the rule of law disappeared. The surviving colonies in the core built up military forces to prevent any other planet from ever attacking them in the future. To enter the area around the core was extremely dangerous and it began to be called the Forbidden Wilds. During the Rager War, the colonies that were away from the galaxy’s core and were not affected by the war worried that the war would spill out into the rest of the Milky Way. A Central Government outside the core was formed and built a giant fleet of advanced warships to make sure none of the aggressive colonies in the core could threaten them. And that was how it remained for three hundred years. Until a young woman fleeing a warrant for her arrest fled the Union for the Forbidden Wilds. What followed would have a monumental impact on the uneasy truce in the Milky Way. The Forbidden Wilds-Jingle’s Escape is the newest novel by Bestselling Author, Saxon Andrew. Jingle hoped fleeing to the Forbidden Wilds would raise her pulse rate…she got much more than she bargained. She had a knack for causing trouble but even she would have never believed she would prompt a new galactic war.
