The
Decay of Humanity Series: Book 1
by
M.K. Dawn
Genre:
SciFi Thriller, Horror
An
asteroid brought about the destruction of the world…in a way no one
thought possible.
After
the death of her parents, Sloan Egan left their Montana ranch
determined to make a difference in the world. Now a prominent surgeon
with an exceptional career in her future, life has turned out exactly
as she expected. Until a government summons arrives with an order to
report to Fort Hood for a top-secret weekend retreat.
Major
Lee Archer’s reassignment as head of military operations at The
Bunker felt more like a prison sentence than a promotion. To make
matters worse, he’s been assigned to babysitting detail, as a group
of the country’s most brilliant young minds come together to test
the vitality of the cutting-edge fallout shelter he commands.
But
the retreat was nothing more than a ploy. One devised to safeguard
the future of humanity, as a catastrophic event renders the world
above uninhabitable.
Or
so they’ve been led to believe.
Those
in charge have a secret. One so horrifying they would do anything to
keep it concealed. Because what lurks beyond The Bunker is deadlier
than anyone could have ever imagined.
And
it’s only a matter of time before it finds a way in.
The room fell silent. President Edward Patterson sat behind
a small desk in a make-shift office with an unnatural stillness. An American
Flag hung on the cavern wall behind him. It took Sloan a moment to realize he
too was in The Bunker.
His expression was grave and his normal youthful demeanor
was replaced with an unsmiling, unfocused stare that could only mean one thing:
the announcement wasn’t good.
“My fellow Americans,” President Patterson began, “first, on
behalf of our great country, I would like to personally thank every one of you
for joining us this weekend.” He dropped his head and swallowed so hard the
sound echoed off his microphone. When he raised his head, his eyes were wet and
bloodshot. “Secondly, I owe each of you an apology. I’ve always considered
myself an honorable man. My word is as important to me as the air I breathe.”
Another extended pause. “It’s with a heavy heart I share with you my
deception.”
The sound of Sloan’s heartbeat thrashed in her ears.
“We brought you here under false pretenses, not out of
malice but out of fear. Fear that without each of you the world as we know it
would be lost. I will spare you the tedious details and get straight to the
point.” He lifted his wrist to check the time. “Approximately five minutes ago,
an asteroid close to six miles wide struck the earth. An asteroid this size is
known as a global killer. Over the course of the next few months, billions of
lives will be lost, as will most of the animals and vegetation.”
The room erupted in a mixture of cries and gasps. Sloan
couldn’t think. She couldn’t breathe. This couldn’t be happening.

going home but they are told that they can’t leave as the earth has been hit by
an asteroid. No one is happy but what can they do?

minds and their lives while living in The Bunker. The Bunker holds a lot of
