Author’s Note
Thank you for continuing to read and support my writing. The System Apocalypse series is meant to be an on-going series that will span at least nine books, potentially more. The Whitehorse portion of the series will come to a conclusion in the next book. I’d say more, but that’d be giving away the plot.
If you enjoyed reading the book, please do leave a review and rating. Not only is it a big ego boost, it also helps sales and convinces me to write more in the series!
Additional books for the System Apocalypse are out including:
- Redeemer of the Dead (Book 2)
- The Cost of Survival (Book 3)
In addition, please check out my other LitRPG series (available on Amazon, Smashwords, iBooks and more!)—
