About this ebook

The Yellowstone supervolcano nearly wiped out the human race. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. The ham radio has gone silent. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors' constant companions. When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever--and unthinkable sacrifice. If they fail . . . they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish. This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.

Ratings and reviews

Ashefall was the first book my teenager showed so much interest in reading since Mike came to her High School in NY as a guest speaker, since then she has real all his work and I must say it is wonderful! Now Sunrise is out and my daughter would never speak to me again if I didn't get it....So THAT is why I'm here ... To purchase "Sunrise" :)

This is so dark and gory in a very realistic way. It is such a raw story that literally makes your heart race & puts you at edge. I was hooked from the get go! This is the story of a young hero/leader who stepped up when he had no choice, went through hell and back to get what he & his family needed to do to survive. He achieved the impossible to find the people he loved. He fought against all odds to win a war against cannibalism and power. This series is so deep but this book was my favorite!

just finished the third book, and man it was amazing. the books got better and better. I was never let down. I especially loved this because I'm not a reader It is hard to get me to read and with these books I just couldn't stop!!! super amazing, I can't wait to read the one where it's in Darlas perspective. 😁😁😁

About the author

Mike’s first sale as a writer earned 10 cents for one word: tenacious. Since then, Mike has always been involved with literature. One of his early jobs was shelving books at Central Library in Indianapolis. Later, he paid his way through graduate school in part by serving as a reference assistant for Indiana University’s library. Mike has worked in his mother’s business, Kids Ink Children’s Bookstore, for more than twenty years, serving at various times as a store manager, buyer, school and library salesperson, and marketing consultant.
