An elite group of billionaire sociopaths is unleashing a cyber attack on America. They intend to break the nation. The goal is depopulation. They have now gone from beta-testing to fully operational, and the world will never be the same.

Welcome to the apocalypse…

USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Amazon All-Star Award Winner, and Top 10 Sci-Fi writer, Ryan Schow, presents a powerful new post-apocalyptic survival series that will hold you captive well into the night!

Population Zero is not just a weapon. It is the objective.

When internet talk-show sensation, Slater Corrigan, finds himself on a collision course with The Aatrox Group, he realizes that the nation is in grave danger. Even though this isn’t the first time Slater has played chicken with psychopaths, he has never met a monster quite like Johan Schwein for a man this vile tends to keep to the shadows.

Until now...

As Slater, his brother Scout, and the Italian firecracker, Gabriella Esposito, learn about the might and power of Population Zero, they are left to wonder, is this the mother of all cyber attacks, or is the population of America about to be culled?

As the power grid fails and the very fabric of society begins to unravel, a mixed group of survivors will attempt to both solve and rectify a murder while navigating through a lawless, apocalyptic landscape in search of safety and answers. But can they endure a world pitched into darkness and chaos? Will those they love most survive the fall? And what kind of a war will they incite when sorrow turns to revenge?

Find out these answers and more in book one of the explosive new trilogy that early readers are calling, “Ryan’s most prolific work to date!” and “An astounding effort that succeeds on every level.”

_______________________________

If you are hungry for high-concept fiction that weaves current events into a breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat romp, you will love this brand new post-apocalyptic techno-thriller from one of today’s most exciting writers.

As with all of Schow’s books, Population Zero showcases the importance of family, the strength of community, and the courage of those brave souls willing to stand and bleed before an enemy hell-bent on the destruction of America.

Hot on the heels of the bestselling first book in this series comes the nail-biting second installment! Early readers are calling Population Zero: Book 2 “Mind-blowing!” and “Exactly what I hoped for from of a sequel!”

If you thought Population Zero: Book 1 was an exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride, brace yourself for a blistering round two.  Slater and the gang are back with a vengeance!

A stolen police cruiser with a trunk full of weapons… 

….A missing woman in the middle of a war zone…

….A vicious gang hell bent on revenge.

What could possibly go wrong?

How far would you go to honor your family? What would you risk to give them the ending they deserve? And who must you become to survive the nightmare that is now America’s darkest hour?

While Slater and Scout charge headlong into the apocalypse in search of a missing woman, Gabriella and the gang realize that a nasty skirmish is about to become an all-out war. 

Deeper in San Francisco, Johan and Lilitu are faced with a challenge that puts them on a crash course with one of their victim’s kids. 

At the center of all of this chaos is the devious, unpredictable quantum computing program, Population Zero.  The agenda has never been more clear, for the line in the sand has been drawn and crossed.  Can our survivors save themselves, let alone the future of mankind?

Buckle your seatbelts, charge your kindle, then get ready for a high-octane, post-apocalyptic adventure like no other…

As with all of Ryan’s books, things seldom go according to plan, feelings get hurt with blades and bullets, tons of action ensues, and tears are likely to be spilled. Not to worry, though, nothing smooths over a spicy apocalyptic thriller like a few well-timed laughs.  #Errol #Goliath'sNuts 

If you think you have this story figured out, trust me, you don’t.  Get ready for the twist…

BOOKS IN THE POPULATION ZERO TRILOGY:

• Population Zero: Book 1

• Population Zero: Book 2

• Population Zero: Book 3 (Coming Soon!)

THIS SERIES IS NOW COMPLETE! The riveting conclusion to the hard-hitting new series, Population Zero, is HERE! Early readers are now saying that Population Zero: Book 3 is “the best book in the trilogy so far!” and “one hell of a way to wrap a series!”

Population Zero Books 1 and 2 introduced you to the worst cyber-attack in U.S. history, but is there a way to rectify it? To undo the damage done? Who are the players, what are the stakes, and can this nightmarish situation be reversed, or will we all plunge headfirst into the apocalypse?

Find out these things and more in the third and final book!

The need to exact vengeance…

….Two competing ideas for warfare…

….One human nightmare who deserves a fitting end.

Can Johan Schwein be stopped, or is he about to usher in the end of civilization?

While Slater and the L.A. team head to the bug-out house in San Rafael, they do so knowing that the road ahead is fraught with peril. Population Zero has agreed to give them what they want, but only so she can make matters worse. In this promise, PZ does not disappoint, and all hell breaks loose as a result.

When Elijah splits from the team to take care of his mother, he unknowingly attracts the worst of all enemies: the one he doesn’t see, not until it’s too late. There will be consequences for Elijah’s missteps, and people will die. But who will survive and who will perish? In the end, wars are not without their casualties, and all battlefields bear remnants of death and the blood of the fallen…

This will be no different.

Population Zero: Book 3 is a blistering ride through an all-too-familiar world on the brink of an apocalypse. PZ3 is a thriller told only the way Ryan Schow can tell it—with bone-crunching detail, a torrent of emotional highs and lows, some well-timed humor, a bit of absurdity, and…pickles.

Yep, you read that right.

Pickles.

If you think you have the story figured out, trust me, it will not go as you anticipate. Charge your Kindle, load up on caffeine and tissue, and then get ready for the best ride Population Zero has to offer…

Before the EMP hits, before a crushing storm arrives, a package from Colt McDaniel’s brother is hand-delivered to his house, upending his entire world. What Colt discovers inside the box is an item that shakes him to his core. A tyrant from his past is coming, and all hell is coming with him.  

More alarming to Colt than the item in the box is his brother's cryptic message: You need to be who you were, who I was, not who you are now.  His brother was a sullied man. Colt once was as well. He managed to break free of his past, however, vowing never to return to that side of himself. But then the power went out, people began to panic, and society seemed to crumble overnight.  

As Colt, his wife Faith, and their dog, Roscoe, shelter in place, they not only work to understand the nature of the EMP and the threats of a grid-down scenario, they must take up arms against both local threats and a beast from the past. All this while fortifying their home and trying to survive what feels like the mother of all storms. 

While suffering inclement weather, a surge of grid-down violence, and his brother’s enemies, Colt scrambles to figure a way out of town, find his three kids and bring them all to safety.  

All this before the murder.

Follow Colt and Faith McDaniel, and their dog Roscoe—ordinary, small-town Kentucky folks—as they fight to survive and find their family.  These Times of Retribution is a breathtaking roller-coaster ride into the apocalypse, and a grid-down tale of resilience, human strength, and the bonds of family.

From the USA Today Bestselling Author of The Last War, The Age of Embers, and Dark Days of the After comes the fourth installment in the bestselling new post-apocalyptic saga, The Abandon Series. 

A group of hardcore fundamentalists embedded in the White House are planning a highly-coordinated, multi-pronged overthrow of the country.  When Marley McDaniel, the deputy chief of staff of communications, discovers this treasonous plot to overthrow America, she finds herself out in the cold and on the run with the most high-level target in the world: US President, Althea Kennicot. 

Isaiah Wright is the deputy chief of staff of operations and Marley’s colleague.  He made his family proud with his accomplishments in Washington D.C., but now, with the White House burning and the president MIA, Isaiah is lost in a dystopian landscape with no plan, no resources, and no direction.  Only when he happens upon a familiar face does Isaiah see a sliver of hope, but not everything is as it seems, and Isaiah is about to address a crisis like no other.

To stop the post-apocalyptic chaos that has come with the EMP and the failed power grid, Marley, Isaiah, and President Kennicot will gather up their resources, route out the traitors, then try to cut the head off this snake, not just for themselves, but for the sake of the nation. 

The fourth, hard-hitting novel in The Abandon series follows the last of the McDaniel children as she endures a nightmare of betrayal, catastrophe, and heartache, further proving that the resurgence of the human spirit and the need for community in times of distress might very well be the fuel she needs to survive the collapsing nation.
