James, Melissa, and Josiah are a family of three seeking shelter in a park in the mountains. Because of a society in collapse, the president, as his final act, opens all federal parks to citizens so that they could use the resources there. Food shortages and anarchy have weakened the nation to the brink of destruction. These families are forced to return to a native way of living where only the strong survive.

A thousand-year conflict has made its way to Earth's doorstep.

Marcus Westbrook is a retiring military officer, and we experience his final months in uniform and the challenges of his new role as a supporting husband and father. The human race is turned upside down when the Evaluator arrives.

“The Sun will last another five billion years,” agreed all the world’s scientists—except two. After a massive solar flare wipes out nearly everything more complex than jumper cables, the Sun dims, and Earth's climate begins to rival that of Mars. The U.S. government, led by a distant presidential successor, takes shelter in a bunker, grappling with life-threatening global conditions as humanity is tossed back into the Stone Age. While the Raven Rock Mountain Complex is isolated, the rest of the world slowly devolves into a cosmic snowball.

The Block In the year 2050, the world has experienced a near total economic collapse, destroying the global monetary system. After years of struggle, a new form of exchange arose: cryptocurrencies called scripts, digital IOUs centrally managed through programs called blockchains. And the ambitious Proctors, who control the blocks, restlessly seek to expand their power. Milt Bruckner investigates blocks to counter fraud and is struggling to keep his script-chasing business afloat when a mysterious woman enters his establishment in need of his help.

In this story, the narrator, who both hovers above the action and is totally immersed in it, tells of the lengths he and his three co-adventurers go to achieve their goals. One wants an even chance at life and, oh yes, to be a star baseball player; another wants to fly. A third seeks true artistic sensuality, and the fourth wants nothing more than the Freudian essentials of success at love and work. Unfortunately the society they live in has hunkered down, devoting nearly all of its resources to self-protection and very little to everyday human comforts.
