Publisher's summary

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 US 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 LA 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. Load up on caffeine and tissue, and get ready for the best ride Population Zero has to offer....

Really really enjoyed this book

I think I would have went with a pink my little pony back pack.. but that’s me.. all the characters were good and enjoyed. As many I think, Ariel, or Airhole was my favorite. Best thing about this book is the language that it’s clean. You don’t have to say a bunch of four letter words to get a point across. Look forward to the next one and stay with Kevin Pierce as he’s done a masterful job again.

Loved the Series

I loved this series. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Only thing wrong is it was not long enough! LOL. Loved Kevin's use of different voices to keep you knowing what was what.

Great series, couldn’t get enough

First off who doesn’t like Kevin Pierce ha. This series was great. So great I am going to get more from Mr. Schow. I liked how the main survivors were not all ex special forces but normal people, Arel wasn’t normal but it worked well. On the next series Ryan asked for input. I’m a sucker for a line guy or family already off the grid and could see how that would make a good edition. I listen to tons of post apocalyptic books but I’ve not read or listened to any that had a character that lived off the land. Sure there are hunters but I can’t recall any talking of using herbs to cure ailments etc. anyway great series

Never Dull

I loved this series and the characters such as Slater and Scout. Really loved Gabriel. I almost had a heart attack around chapter 24 or so! I very much enjoyed the story and hope another great series comes along quick! Thanks again for the great writing!

Acceptional and a fun listen!

loved this trilogy! most of all the comic relief in the character known as Arole! Right away I loved this person brought to life with his strange ways and odd but captivating personality! I felt sorry for this character and annoyed all at the same time, all while absolutely hanging on for the next twist and turn!

this trilogy stands out from the rest because it brings a touch of humor to a terrifying situation!! it was not miss placed humor but relatable humor that you could see yourself using to deal with an approaching inevitable apocalypse!

highly recommend this book! and I can't wait to listen to the next up and coming book by this Author!

five stars all the way from this listener!

Great series and great narrator

Ryan Schow and Kevin Pierce are great together! Loved the story. I would like to see a series about a financial collapse with your twist on it.

Awesome plausible Story line and characters.

My wife and both really enjoyed the book series. She really loved the character Scout and I really enjoyed Air Hole. The way the story captures your attention and makes you believe that this is really possible during this time in our political and personal lives.

Action packed!

I enjoyed the book, but just wished the narration had been better. I could have gotten into the book more if so. Sounds like my grandpa was reading a book to me as a kid. No emotions, and all the voices of different characters sounded alike. Worst ever German accent that came and went in the same sentence.

I hated to reach the end.

Great story! I wonder if I could survive? I'm looking forward to starting the Burning Hollow series.
