Mankind is no longer at the top of the food chain.
Now for the first time we jump from England to the United States and see how the Americans are dealing with the end of the world.
The Sixth Extinction is an apocalyptic tale about a pandemic that sweeps the globe, decimating the human race, leaving humanity struggling to survive. Within three weeks, everything has changed. Social structure has collapsed as the government locks itself away with a select portion of its vast army in deep bunkers, leaving the civilians to their own fate and the infected that stalks the streets.
The Story follows a group of fourteen strangers, who lived in an apartment building in the Fordham Heights area of New York City; they decide to band together, seeking shelter in a shipping container, on the back of a truck heading towards Pennsylvania and the promise of safety.
There’s Alexander Frazier, a twenty-four-year-old, who, before the outbreak, worked in the mail department of a large law firm. The King Brothers, Lindell, who’s thirty-seven and used to be a bouncer for a nightclub, and his thirty-one-year-old little brother, who was once an amateur boxer. The fifty-one-year-old alcoholic Reverend Frank Clark, who harbours a dark secret, and is looking for redemption from a broken world. The second generation Mexican seventeen-year-old twins, Juan and Bonnie Sanchez. The twenty-six-year-old Cody Tanner who used to be a soil conservationist, and his twenty-five-year-old wife Abigail Tanner, who used to be a wine taster. The twenty-two-year-old all-American girls Jessica Scott, who used to be a waitress. The seventy-one-year-old Phyllis Washington, who isn’t even aware of what’s going on around her. The thirty-three-year-old Gothic lesbian, Naomi Ford who used to work as a chef, and has a dangerous addiction. The twenty-year-old Tierra Ouellette who used to be a stripper to pay the bills, and her three-year-old son Dante, who never stops crying. And finally, the driver of the truck, the forty-six-year-old Troy Cobb, who even ten years later is still trying to get over the death of his wife. Altogether, they are struggling to survive and come to terms with their new situation. However, they’re a large group of people now living in close proximity. Tempers flare, and emotions run high as one disastrous situating leads to another.
There is also Doctor Nathan Bachman, a scientist working in Groom Lake, in the secret base often referred to as Area 51. However, it doesn’t contain UFOs and little green men; its sole purpose is much more disturbing. It contains one of the seven pods – living artefact that our ancient forefathers buried beneath vast structures of stone, to save the world from their deadly, infectious black spores. When the base is compromised Bachman is airlifted to the secret Quirauk Mountain, Pennsylvania bunker. There an even more disturbing secret comes to light that makes everything before it pales in comparison.
Along the way, they run into other groups who will do anything to survive.
There is a group of military misfits who run a small town that forces other survivors into slavery.
Also a collection of mostly females that travel a river on a boat, collecting survivors and taking them to a safe haven – which goes drastically wrong.
They have to navigate the perils of the infected, and the surviving humans, to reach safety. Every step of the way is fraught with danger and treachery.

THE EVENT
The Answer to Mankind’s Prayers
Becomes an Apocalyptic Nightmare
Part One: The Last Hope
UK USA
The first in a new series of short stories, from the author of the best-selling Sixth Extinction Series.
Mankind number less than nine million. The world is on the brink of the next mass extinction.
THE DYING WORLD
The year is 2073. The world stands on its final footing. Back in 2048 the world’s population numbered over a hundred billion. Wars were fought over food not land. A new organization was put to work; to find the cure for world hunger.
THE MACHINE
They used the best scientists from every nation and succeeded in creating D.E.F (Digitally Enhanced Food.) However, the name came to have a more sinister meaning. The machine manipulated time, speeding up the growing process. However, it caused rips in time and space, allowing another dimension – which had been poised waiting for mankind to make such a mistake – to churn through, reaping death and almost total destruction. The answer to their prayers became their worst nightmare.
THE LAST OF MANKIND
Humankind now numbers a mere nine million. The adults survive in eight underground cities, protected by barriers – it used to be thirteen, but five perished when the moon was rent in two. Their offspring lives on a vast space station, which sits in a geostationary equatorial orbit around a world riddled with creatures from the darkest parts of the imagination. The cities barriers are failing. Also, the Station is slowly being pulled down by the earth’s gravity – it was not designed to hold so many, for so long.
PART ONE: THE LAST HOPE
A small group of six holds all of mankind’s hope in their hands as they head towards the largest rip to try to close it down. A father withholds secrets, possibly sending his sons to their death – secrets that if they seep out will cause total panic in all eight remaining cities. The head of the Council of Cities knows what is coming, what’s heading their way; she sits and looks at aerial photos of the advancing armies that are closing in. The decision she makes will affect millions. The commander in charge of the orbiting space station awaits the yearly rocket with the children onboard. However, something is wrong with the data files, the numbers just don’t add up. With only one day to go, things start to take a deadly turn. Is there a traitor onboard their last hope for humanity?
Time is one luxury mankind doesn’t have; however, time is what they need the most. Unless a miracle happens, within the next broken lunar cycle, humankind will become extinct.
LAMBCHOPS AND CHAINSAWS (Vol. 1)
UK USA
Lamb Chops and Chainsaws is the first volume in the Human Nature Series.
(Warning: The author would like to point out that this book contains graphic language and descriptions of explicit sex and brutal violence).
What are your neighbours really like once their front door slams shut? Are your children's teachers' sound-of-mind? Has your partner got an evil, sinister side? Is a member of your family a murderer? These questions, and more, are examined in a collection of nine disturbing short stories; tales about the darker side of human nature.
Read about a wannabe serial killer who starts his reign of terror on the wrong footing. A Kindergarten teacher who has deep psychological problems that jeopardizes the safety of the children. Why a child of nine turns to violence in retaliation for drug smugglers slaughtering her parents. A fanatical mother who believes her thirteen-year-old son is possessed by the devil. How one killer spirals out of control and in his haste for victims makes a fatal mistake. A government trained killer who was set up as a scapegoat. Or a serial killer who has captured the attention of the world, and has set up one final, sickening display. What does it take to push someone that little bit too far and turn them into a killer? Find out when a savage murder is committed over a packet of lamb chops.
Strangers will never seem the same again.

lady who wins awards for her cakes, but what are her secret ingredients? Or the doomsday prepper that spends every waking minute of everyday prepping for the end of the world, until one critical mistake changes everything.
