Story
America is changing fast. Cities are becoming dangerous. Time to bug out...Security Engineer, Logan Cahill, and a woman who may or may not be his girlfriend, Skylar Madigan, live together, but only because it makes their conspiring that much easier. Logan, like Skylar, is tormented by the notion that time is running out for America. Things are not as they seem, and the lid is about to blow off the whole city, maybe even the country. The question that plagues Logan is the question of when, and how. When does he bug out? How will he survive a total collapse of society?

Story
When America is hit with a pandemic - soon finding out it was a viral and biochemical attack from terrorists - the population is both shocked and relieved to quickly have a vaccine on hand to save them. Untested and rushed to market, the people don’t care. In droves they line up, hoping to avoid the deadly virus. Too late, they discover there is something much worse than the virus unleashed on the United States; something so hideous and terrifying, it will make the virus look like a bad case of the flu.

The end is almost here, are you ready? A high-tech nightmare. A crippling attack on America and her infrastructure. Are humans in their final days? When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, when our military is hijacked and the president can’t be found, the survivors will be left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or if this is the last chapter of humanity itself. Undercover DEA agent, Fire Dimas, is drowning in problems: an unrelenting job, a difficult marriage and a teenage daughter with suitors of the worst kind.

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Lauren Russell often wondered why her father had been so adamant about teaching her skills that most other fathers wouldn't even consider teaching their daughters. Ever since she was little, she had been taught how to live and survive outdoors, and how to use firearms to protect herself and those around her. Some of the training had been a bit extreme. Or had it been? Many of her questions were answered the day the world as she knew it ended.

As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything...anything other than being totally alone when the sh*t hits the fan. While he sat back and watched the US rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe. What he wasn't prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened. Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. Graysie Rowan, a freshman at university, just wants to go home.

A mutating plague is spreading. It's killing two of every three people on Earth. And Mike Crenshaw is totally unprepared. From the world of The Traveler Series comes a new cast of characters, new obstacles, and the same devastating, world-altering virus which plunges society into the depth of a dystopian hell. Unprepared begins in the hours before The Scourge takes hold. As if ripped from today's headlines, governments react too slowly and the disease spreads too fast. Quarantines don't work. Infrastructure fails. People die.

Ripped From The Headlines

Publisher's Summary
From the USA Today best-selling author Ryan Schow comes a special two-book edition containing both The Last Light of Day and Dark Days of the After. With 120+ reviews for the separate books and a combined 4.9 star review, this powerful new set kicks off what is being called “the most important post-apocalyptic series available now"!
The apocalypse is coming, which means the end is near...
In the near future, the constitution is outlawed, the government is ceremonial at best, and the country is about to lose her name. No one knows how this happened or why America prostrated herself to the kind of foreign forces who would impose obedience through compliance.
Resistors call the occupation “creeping death”. Those countries grabbing at the reins of power see it for what it is - a full-scale invasion.
Logan Cahill is part of the underground effort to reclaim America, but when Skylar Madigan directs him to a cryptic message in the world's largest server room leading to a doomsday clock, everything changes. He now knows the enemies, the weapons, and the time of America’s death, right down to the minute.
If he wants to survive the apocalypse, he and Skylar have to bug out before all hell breaks loose. This won’t be easy, considering the surveillance grid in place or the armed lockdown of all major cities.
Dark Days of the After series is an intense new tale of strength, survival, and patriotism that puts ordinary citizens on the front line of a domestic conflict that was never supposed to happen - one that will either unify the country or break her for good.

Interesting plot, but female characters are more like male characters with boobs. the main character is interesting and likeable. the plot is definitely interesting and hits its mark, but I think some stuff is just over the top, like his attitude changing and the emotionless cardboard cutouts of annoying women in the book.

Excellent
Wow. This book is amazing (special edition prequel and book 1). Ryan Schow has upped his game to a whole new level. I have to say I think this is one of my new favorite series. No doubt this is due to how closely what he's writing about mirrors what's going on in our society. As we fall ever so quickly into a socialist/ communist society, one can see what happens in this book happening here. By going this direction, and away from the EMP survival series (nothing wrong with that at all), he's upping his game. He's talking about an invasion, and America as a totalitarian communist state. This is very 1984, with surveillance at every turn. So with this, anyone in resistance to the state is an enemy and shot on spot. He even references America as it was in 2019...so it's getting REAL.
Logan is the central character, one who starts out as unwilling participant to the resistance to one actively involved. There are endless possibilities. Also kudos to Ryan for keeping the language clean and keeping the focus on the story. All in all, this is most impressive, and my respect for Ryan Schow just shot through the roof.
Kevin Pierce knocks your socks off. Without him, you don't have the urgency in the story. He's great when paired with Schow, but never have the two been paired better than here. This is the best of the best.
