In the late 2020’s and early 30’s corporations managed to render the major governments of the world obsolete. The big corporations owned most of the territories as well as the majority of the world’s wealth. While many of the old traditions were still observed in various parts of the world, the true power was with the corporations.
In the late 30’s, what would be known as the Corporate Wars began as larger companies initiated hostile takeovers in a whole new fashion. Employees, armed with corporate weapons, warred for dominance. It was a bloody time, and many small corporations were destroyed, as were a lot of civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time… as well as those who’d been buying the wrong products.
On May 1st, 2067, it all ended in nuclear fire.
Fifteen outstanding authors have come to this Fallen World with stories that take place from the islands off the coast of Massachusetts to the California coast; from the swamps of Louisiana to the mountains of Colorado. These stories not only show you the Fall… but introduce you to some of the people who might just drag civilization back from the embers…

Melissa Olthoff grew up on Star Trek, Star Wars and pretty much every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever made. She was lucky enough to have an amazing dad that supported her out-of-control reading addiction - and her goal of joining the military. In 2005, she commissioned as an US Air Force officer and briefly achieved her dream of becoming a pilot. While she loved flying, her ears did not, so she cross-trained into Airfield Operations where she spent the rest of her military career. Her last assignment was Seymour Johnson AFB, a F-15E Strike Eagle base. She swore she wouldn’t date a fighter pilot, but accidentally left a loophole and ended up marrying one. She now works as an accountant (seriously) to pay the bills and her husband flies cargo. They like to joke that they used to be cool, and do cool things. Then they had children. They currently live in Tennessee with two kids and two oversized German Shepherds.
I’ve been in Colorado since I was a young teenager. I grew up in a military family and traveled all over before ending up in Colorado. I currently live in the foothills of Pikes Peak with my wife, two children and various dogs and cats. I have a crazy technology background having founded several tech companies centering around human machine interfaces before I discovered a passion for writing.
When I’m not slinging the ink and trying to get paid to fabricate tales that entertain, I like to shoot competitively, drink craft beer, ride motorcycles and play games with friends.
Brisco Woods was born and raised in the Appalachian region of East Tennessee. His first pair of boots were issued to him by the USAF when he showed up to basic training in homespun pants and bare feet. The Air Force, in all its wisdom, thought he would be a great candidate to work on nuclear ICBM’s, so he was sent to the cornfields of Illinois to learn what an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile was. After some intense training and discovering what real winter was, he thought, off he went on his first over seas assignment, to North Dakota.
Through his career of 23 years in the US Air Force, he went on to work on avionics equipment on several different air frames and then spent his last 4 years in Command and Control. He eventually got tired of going into work on the ground floor and taking an elevator down to the concrete cave that was his life, and retired.
After having to write a separate resume for every job he was applying for, he decided “to hell with this” and became a Realtor.
Upon seeing how successful his little brother and sister were as authors, he caved in to his brothers constant jabbering about writing and made a story in the Fallen World universe that this same brother had created.
Since the first story was received well, he has branched out to some SciFi and done a few of stories in Kevin Steverson’s Salvage Universe. He also completed a novel from the original Fallen World tale, another short story in Among The Embers, and a novel from the character introduced there. He has an immediate follow up to that novel and two in the Salvage Title universe in the work with more to come.
Nick Steverson is your everyday blue-collar liquor vendor. When he isn't working hard to supply the Florida Panhandle with wine and spirits, he can be found spending time with his family, reading, and somehow managing to squeeze in time to try his hand at being an author. He has publications in the Salvage Title Anthologies "Through The Gate" and "The Long And Short Of It". Recently his first novel, "Hesitation", was released.
Christopher Woods, writer of fiction, teller of tales, and professional liar was born way too long ago to be talking about it and has spent the majority of his life with a book in hand. He is known for his popular Soulguard series and creating the shared universe in The Fallen World series. He has also written the Legend series in the Four Horsemen Universe as well as several works in the Salvage system universe. With books ranging from fantasy to post apocalyptic and military science fiction, there should be something for everyone. He lives in Woodbury, TN with his wife Wendy. As a former carpenter of thirty years, he spends his time between various building projects and writing new books. To contact him, go to www.theprofessionalliar.com and send him a message.
Marisa Wolf was born in New England, and raised on Boston sports teams, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the longest books in the library (usually fantasy). Over the years she majored in English in part to get credits for reading (this...only partly worked), taught middle school, was headbutted by an alligator, built a career in education, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and finally decided to finish all those half-started stories in her head.
She’s currently based in Texas, but has moved into an RV with her husband and their two ridiculous rescue dogs, and it's anyone's guess where in the country she is at any given moment. Learn more at www.marisawolf.net

I am a retired Air Force veteran who’s flown rescue and special ops C-130’s for 18 years. I’ve been to all the places and done all the things. Now I’m hoping to translate those experiences to science fiction and fantasy. So far I’ve weaseled my way into Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy’s Four Horsemen Universe as well as Bayonet Books Storming Area 51 anthology, but I’ve been working on other things as well. I’m primarily in military science fiction, but have hopes to write some alternate history and possibly some military fantasy. We’ll see, the ride’s just getting started.
