RING OF FIRE

Major volcanoes across the Pacific Rim - from Indonesia to the Americas - erupt in quick succession, each more violent than the last. As the earth trembles and cities fall into chaos, the world is plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

 

It begins at the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Triggered by an undersea volcanic eruption, the Ring of Fire has been awakened by sudden shifts in tectonic pressure setting the stage for a global extinction event.

 

From Cascadia to Krakatoa to Fuji to Toba, the fury of nature is unleashed. Lava cascades down the slopes of volcanoes. The ash-filled skies darken above, triggering a volcanic winter. The oceans themselves rise in wrath, swallowing coastal cities as tsunamis flow in all directions.

 

Dr. Duke Mercer, his wife Betsy and their children Sloan, Graham, Beau and Reid, together with Duke's beloved English Bulldog, Winston are celebrating Duke's retirement from the USGS when a phone call comes in. "We need you back."

RING OF FIRE BOOK 1: CASCADIA

Major volcanoes across the Pacific Rim - from Indonesia to the Americas - erupt in quick succession, each more violent than the last. As the earth trembles and cities fall into chaos, the world is plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

 

It begins at the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Triggered by an undersea volcanic eruption, the Ring of Fire has been awakened by sudden shifts in tectonic pressure setting the stage for a global extinction event.

AFTERMATH 2

This is more than the story of nuclear war. It's about the devastating aftermath wrought when the bombs stop dropping. The possible future of humanity is seen through the eyes of the Bartlett family, Maine lobstermen whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of Maine.

 

Some are at sea. Another is off the island they call home. And the youngest, a newlywed is tucked away in a place of perceived safety in the heart of Europe.

 

While they fight for survival, they must trek across a rapidly deteriorating landscape fraught with danger from both the elements and their fellow man.

​

"Outstanding and adrenaline laced sequel!"

AFTERMATH 3

In a world without power, the exchange of information was virtually non-existent. A battle for resources was waged, pitting friend against friend and friend against foe.

For the Bartlett family, their days on Swan’s Island were untenable. They had the means to move on but were waiting for family thousands of miles away to return home.

 

While the family held out hope for their loved ones to return, they were forced to hold their ground against those who’d threaten their very existence. For, in the aftermath of Nuclear Armageddon, the desperate become dangerous. The docile become deadly. The moral among us become murderers.

​

“The Bartlett Family is the best and their struggles are heart wrenching. This series is amazing.”

AFTERMATH 4

Nuclear fallout wrapped the planet in a blanket of soot, blocking the sun's rays, wreaking havoc on the atmosphere. The planet was plunged into a deep chill that would last for years. Plants withered. Animals died. Famine exacted its toll on the human population. From the initial firestorm and the spread of smoke to the destruction of the Earth's ecosystem.

 

Yet, there was a place to survive, but the journey was filled with perils and the last port of call may not be as welcoming as the Bartlett family hoped.

"This book is more frightening than Atlas Shrugged, and that’s saying a lot!

I have never read this author before today, but he is a rock star!

He gives us a throughly researched novel with all too plausible outcomes, and builds up a family for us to love. The combination is chilling, because it makes the hypothetical feel all too real."
