Betrayal

David and Jody's good deeds are repaid in kind as they make contact with another friend on their travels, resulting in a leg up on their journey, though nothing is ever as easy as it seems. And, in Nebraska, supplies for the town are running dry, and Prairie Winds Farm is tapped to make up the slack, but the conflict may be more than the Carlson family can handle, particularly as certain members of law enforcement show that they may not be on the side of justice in Book 3 of Ashes of the Collapse.

Brought to you by the #1 best-selling - and most prolific - post-apocalyptic author, Mike Kraus.

An experimental fracking operation digs too deep, igniting an underground gas system that causes half of the mainland United States to erupt into a series of fiery sinkholes that consume untold millions of lives. With no way to stop the underground fires, all anyone can do is watch as more of the country collapses and even more lives are claimed...

At Prairie Winds Farm in Nebraska, the extended Carlson family works to prepare their campground and farm for the coming season, unaware of the disaster looming at their doorstep. While their farm is spared from the initial collapse, the most pressing threat is not from mother nature, but from their fellow man.

In South Carolina, David Carlson and his daughter Jody are at a survival camp, and rush to the airport when they catch wind of what's happening, only to watch it go up in flames, trapping them far from home. Forced to travel on foot, their survival skills are put to the test, but the real question is if they have the stamina to make such a long journey back across a fiery hellscape.

As the disaster spreads throughout the country, claiming countless lives, the Carlsons can only survive by doing what's required - if they have the fortitude to do so.
