An astonishing transformation over the last 20,000 years has seen our planet changed from a frigid wasteland into the temperate world within which our civilization has grown and thrived. This dynamic episode in our planet's history, right at the close of the Ice Age, saw not only a huge temperature hike but also the Earth's crust bouncing and bending in response to the melting of the great ice sheets and the filling of the ocean basins - dramatic geophysical events that triggered earthquakes, spawned tsunamis, and provoked a series of eruptions from the world's volcanoes.

Three years ago, a massive solar event shattered life on Earth. The EMP storms that followed wiped out every trace of modern technology, plunging humanity into chaos. Radiation, starvation, and violence claimed billions, and those who survived were left to rebuild—or simply endure. But survival was only the beginning. An unknown alien force has arrived, ruthless and relentless. They can’t be reasoned with. They can’t be understood. And no weapon we have seems to stop them. Entire continents are burning, and hope is fading fast.

They thought they’d uncovered the truth, but the storms have only just begun. After barely surviving the rogue tornadoes tearing through the plains, storm chaser Beck Maddox and atmospheric scientist Savannah Reyes are determined to expose the weaponized weather conspiracy brewing behind the scenes, but the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the skies become—and someone is making sure the truth stays buried. Each new storm isn’t just stronger, it’s smarter, and it’s targeting the people asking questions. With their allies disappearing and time running out, Beck and Savannah must ...

But former Army paratrooper Daniel Reicher senses something far more dangerous brewing beneath the cold. Temperatures freefall, lakes freeze overnight, and the snow—unnervingly—never melts. Then a suppressed NOAA report leaks: the Gulf Stream is slowing. The same oceanic collapse that triggered ancient Ice Age catastrophes is happening again—only this time, millions are in the path. As the Midwest...

Dr. Joseph Kellerman is the last man on Earth, surviving alone at Alaska's Aurora Station while generators fail one by one. Outside his protective bubble, the air shimmers with invisible death. Inside, he talks to ghosts—his dead wife, his lost colleagues—as his ...

The rain began nineteen years ago, and it never stopped: more than a foot of rain per day until almost the whole of North America was underwater. Those who survived the first year were forced to take drastic measures, and those who held to the veneer of civilization were few and very far between. Seventeen-year-old Tanner grew up after the rain began. She and her adoptive caretaker, Russell, have long sought a fabled Colorado refuge, a dream that has kept them going through years of brutal trials as they try to stay one step ahead of the “face eaters”.
