Surviving the End Burned World

Civilization has fallen-now the fight for survival is only beginning... In the aftermath of the solar flare and the collapse of society, the McDonald family's Georgia settlement, Hickory Falls, has built a fragile peace. The rural community offers food, shelter, and safety. At least for now... But survival has a price. A relentless drought threatens their crops. Every harvest shrinks, every gallon of clean water is worth fighting over. A wildfire rages closer by the day, driving a flood of desperate refugees to their gates. But every newcomer is a risk: a thief, an infiltrator, or worse. Taking them in means more mouths to feed-but also more hands to do vital work. Among the newcomers is Greyson, a former firefighter with a bold plan to shield Hickory Falls from the encroaching inferno. As the flames bear down and loyalties are tested, will their preparations be enough to save Hickory Falls? Expanded and republished in September 2025, Burned World is more gripping than ever-don't miss this chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic thriller.
