After the Sky
Spirits of the Earth Book 1
by Milo James Fowler
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic SciFi Fantasy
The world isn't how they left it. When the bunker airlocks release them after twenty years in hibernation, the survivors find a silent, barren world outside. But they are not alone. There is a presence here, alive in the dust—spirits of the earth, benevolent and malicious as they interact with the human remnant.
Milton is haunted by a violent past he's unable to escape, despite the superhuman speed the spirits give him.
Not interested in bearing the next generation, Daiyna is determined to destroy the flesh-eating mutants lurking in the dark, pierced by her night-vision.
Luther is a man of conviction who believes the Creator has offered humankind a second chance, yet he's uncertain they deserve it—and he's perplexed by the talons that flex out of his fingers.
Willard is a brilliant engineer-turned-soldier who refuses to leave his bunker, afraid of becoming infected and willing to destroy any obstacle in his way.
As their lives collide, the mysteries of this strange new world start unraveling, culminating in the ultimate life-or-death decision one survivor will make for them all.
Don't miss this Post Apocalyptic Adventure with a Paranormal Fantasy twist! It's perfect for fans of Stephen King, T.W. Piperbrook, and The Walking Dead.

Daiyna
Many
of our sisters were not keen on the idea of becoming breeders in order to repopulate the earth. They'd been able to live
without men for years, and they'd gotten used to it.
"Just
look around," they'd say. "Would you really want to bring a child
into this world?"
Maybe
they were right. Mother Lairen chided them gently, as was her way, reminding
them it was both our duty and blessing to be mothers of the next generation. It
was our destiny, she told them. But
they would have nothing of it. As a sign of their resistant solidarity, they
shaved their heads to the scalp.
"Don't
you want to see your husband, Daiyna? Don't you want to know what he's
like?"
"We'll
probably get the same one, Sheylia." I cast her a sideways glance, and she
smiled broadly.
"Then
I hope he is both handsome and strong, and that he is kind to both of us."
She turned to me with a slight frown. "You really can't see them?"
I
shook my head. There was nothing to see.
If
only I'd been right.
"They're
just over there…" She pointed and brought my hand up with hers, our
fingers intertwined, directed westward. "Maybe ten kilometers away now.
They can see us too, I think."
I
strained to see, but it was too dark and too far. "Sheylia... Have you
always been able to see like this?"
"No."
She sighed happily and grinned at me. "Pretty neat, huh?"
"Is
it—?" I listened again. "What you hear, is it the sound of an
engine?"
She
brightened and clapped her hands. "Yes! Isn't it wonderful, Daiyna? We
have to tell the others!" She turned away, overjoyed.
"Sheylia—"
She
seemed to float for a moment, hanging in mid-air as a patch of blood blossomed
across her gown. Then came the report of a rifle in the distance, and I
flinched, crouching instinctively, looking toward its source.
The night was no longer black as pitch
but instead it glowed with a hazy blue light. My focus sharpened as I blinked
my eyes and stared. I could see them. Two or three kilometers out from the base
of the foothills below, they came at us in two jeeps, the tires sending up plumes
of dust in their wake.
After the Sky tells a story about the world being destroyed
and people living underground in bunkers for twenty years and of them entering
the world above once again. Some bunkers had only men in them and some only
women while some had a mixture of both. The story behind men and women being separated
was so that they couldn’t procreate while living in the bunkers. I can
understand the reasoning behind separating them as if they were together and
they had children that would just mean more mouths to feed and with no room for
expansion either.
After the Sky is told from different points of view with
voices from different bunkers. After the Sky tells about their experiences upon
entering the world again and trying to make a life for themselves in this new
world. The people have changed into something else. The destruction of the
Earth has caused some strange things to happen of the paranormal nature to the
people. Daemons have come out to play as well as monster like zombies. Did the
Earth cause the changes that are happening to the people or could it have been
the government doing some kind of experiment or maybe it was aliens?
After the Sky is a very unique story that has a little bit
of everything like daemons, paranormal creatures/humans, and zombie like
creatures. After the Sky will keep you
on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what is going to happen
next and wondering how it all was going to come together in the end. After the
Sky has plenty of action and surprising events to keep you hooked and turning
the pages.
I would recommend After the Sky to all fans of post-apocalypse,
zombies, daemons and the paranormal.
Tomorrow's Children
Spirits of the Earth Book 2
The future is in their hands.
The post-apocalyptic world is bigger than the remnant imagined. Across the ocean, the domed cities of Eurasia have survived the nuclear holocaust that ravaged the rest of the planet. But only the survivors from the North American Wastes can give the sterile Eurasians what they need most in order to continue existing as a society: children.
Sergeant James Bishop, United World Marine, leads his team across the desert wasteland in order to make first contact with survivors in Eden, who are rumored to have a lab full of viable embryos. Meanwhile Cain, a coastal warlord dedicated to repopulating the planet, follows the will of Gaia, a malicious spirit of the earth with no love for humankind. Margo, telepathic geneticist responsible for designing the next generation, struggles to balance the will of a selfish dictator with what's best for humanity. Tucker, an invisible man on a mission, carries precious cargo across the Wastes in an effort to rally a group of survivors into action against Eden.
As their lives intersect, agendas collide and tensions reach a breaking point. Twenty unborn children in incubation chambers hang in the balance—along with the fate of the world.
Grab the thrilling sequel to After the Sky! It's perfect for fans of Stephen King, Tom Abrahams, and The Walking Dead.
City of Glass
Spirits of the Earth Book 3
The children of the remnant are adults living in the 10 Domes of Eurasia, self-sustaining biospheres along the Mediterranean Sea. Aerocars fly, clones work as security officers, and every citizen's words and actions are monitored via their neural implants. Peace reigns over all—until a group of terrorists targets government buildings, and Chancellor Persephone Hawthorne is kidnapped.
Sera Chen, Dome 1 law enforcer, is drawn into the conflict after chasing a curfew violator capable of leaping from one skyscraper to another. When her augments go offline due to a localized EMP burst, she starts hearing voices. The band of survivors in North America is fractured. Daiyna roams the Wastes with a bounty on her head, refusing to confront her demons. Samson and Shechara target UW raiders who are pillaging ruins for resources the remnant needs to survive. James Bishop struggles against unexpected obstacles to be reunited with his family. And Luther is determined to find a way into Eurasia to meet the twenty children taken from Eden.
As their lives converge, unlikely alliances will form to combat an emergent enemy with plans to undermine the course of humanity's future.
