The start of the world

‘After the collapse collection’ Book 1

Surviving the collapse was the easy part. The real danger came afterwards.

Mac survived the end of the world - by accident. Only to end up no better than a slave on Ricky’s commune, with long term survival prospects of zero. Back in the old world, he had gingerly navigated life by being polite and nice.

The commune’s leader Ricky is a paranoid, controlling, ex-soldier. His one strong point is violence, which his minions might consider bearable if he only used it against their enemies on the farm next door. Ricky hasn’t got a clue about survival, farming, leadership or anything that the ragged band of survivors actually need. What’s the point, he thinks. None of them will make it through the year. Even if a few stretch it out a little longer, starvation will eventually pick them off one by one. Ricky intends to be last.

Mac has an uncomfortable feeling that being nice isn’t going to cut it anymore. Others are looking at him hoping he’s the one with something about him, anything, whatever it will take to lead them away from slow death and toward not just survival but long term success. The very idea of taking charge leaves Mac cold – but it’s obvious someone has got to step up. And there’s nobody else.
