End of Summer: A post viral-apocalypse story: Book One of the Seasons of Man Aug 11, 2019

by S.M. Anderson

( 2,330 )

$3.99

When a viral apocalypse kills 97% percent of the people on the planet, the survivors' humanity is hanging by a thread. Amid the leftovers of civilization, ex-Army Ranger Jason Larsen is reminded of the meaning of hope, family, and loyalty by a dog and a young boy who are as alone as he is. The survivors he seems to collect become family, and that is very bad news for those who think they run the apocalypse.

This is the first book in a new series from the author of the Eden Chronicle's "A Bright Shore," "Come and Take it," and "New Shores."

The author is a former CIA operations officer who has decided that his lifelong love of writing is more fun than "real" work.

"Finally an author that doesn't pull punches..." Amazon Reviewer

"Not going to work tomorrow, it's 4 am and I just finished one of the best books I've read in years..." Amazon Reviewer

"Well Written! - One of the best post-apocalyptic books I have read."

"A Flu and NO ZOMBIES - YES! Realistic tale - where the characters actually behave like real people. Very well written, and can't wait for next."

New Shores: The Eden Chronicles - Book Three Mar 18, 2020

by S.M. Anderson

( 1,340 )

$3.99

A continuation of the Eden Chronicles - The Forces on Eden are licking their wounds following their victory over the Strema. Their new allies and neighbors, the Jema, are free for the first time in a thousand years - and they want payback. The Jema are going to take the fight to the Kaerin on Chandra, with or without the help of Eden. Meanwhile on Earth, the dumpster fire continues to burn as Sir Geoff and Task Force Chrome are being hunted by the ISS and the military. The fight for freedom rages across three worlds and the one group that is capable of travelling between them is out gunned and outmanned.

Some Amazon Reviews: "I Was Warned: the review that made me download the sample said the reader had just finished it at 4am and was not intending to go to work having obviously read through the night until the book was finished. I made the same mistake and finished it at 3.30am. As all devout readers know; it is rare the author who can develop a new world - J K Rowling being a most notable example and S M Anderson has with this story joined that elite few.

"As far as the concept, I won' go into the technical aspects...I leave those to others who are much better versed in the realities of Quantum Mechanics and such. What I will say is that, not since reading "Tunnel in the Sky" by Robert A. Heinlein (a Science Fiction Grand Master) as a young man, have I seen this concept treated so well.

"Considering that most books in this genre use a 'far-right' slant as their 'evil government', it's actually refreshing to see a well thought out and VERY topical backdrop that turns the tables. Snowflakes should take fair warning that they may not like the backdrop very much, but honestly, it's not a major component of the book other than providing the main characters with motivation."

"Atlas shrugged meets a David drake military sci i thriller. Liked it and can't wait to read volume 2. Hilarious at times! Keep it up, Mr Anderson.

The story continues; our heroes have made it to Eden, only to realize their new home is one of many Earths. Its a world worth fighting for, but they aren't the only people who think so. Coexistence and peace are alien concepts to a new enemy that doesn't have a word for retreat.

Amazon reader reviews of Book One - A Bright Shore
“OH H**L YES ! couldn't put it down…”
“Arguably one of, if not the best, SciFI books I've read this year!”
"I so can not wait for the next installment. One of the best combinations of military thrillers and sci-fi yet.”
“Write Faster, please! Can’t wait for book two..”

A Bright Shore: The Eden Chronicles-Book One Feb 23, 2018

by S.M. Anderson

( 2,478 )

$2.99

A military Sci-Fi, technothriller set a short decade from now. Western Civilization has had its run. The West's own governments are giving up, have already lost, or are leading the charge to something else. This doesn't sit well with those who believe in liberty. This is the story of a people who have lost the political fight, lost the culture wars, haven't seen a level playing field in a generation, and are about to be made serfs. None of that matters. They're leaving...

Fresh starts are never easy. This is the first book in a story about a new world, different enemies, and old luggage.

AUTHOR's Warning: We've all read Sci-fi or speculative fiction where the dystopian backdrop is some form of fascism - usually portrayed as conservatism run amok. This is not that kind of book. The backdrop of this book is a socialist and corporate statist disaster on a global scale. It is basically fascism arising from the left. I had to give the protagonists a reason to do what they do. . . as such there are numerous disturbing scenes within, portraying everything from socialized medicine, five year economic plans and government enforced serfdom. If you think any of that sounds like a panacea for the future, you will not like this book.

A debut novel, the first in a series from a former CIA operations officer who has decided that his lifelong writing habit/hobby/obsession is more fun than "real" work.

"Finally an author that doesn't pull punches..." Amazon Reviewer

"Not going to work tomorrow, it's 4 am and I just finished one of the best books I've read in years.." Amazon Reviewer
