Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jim Wyatt had always said that if everything fell apart, he didn’t want to just survive - he didn’t want to notice. When the world did crash, his family’s home of Stonemont became not only a refuge, but a place where it might be possible to start over again, and reclaim the American ideal. Among the many novels in the SHTF/TEOTWAWKI genre, The Reversion stands apart – and, perhaps, alone. It does not follow the survival learning curve of the unprepared or minimally-prepared, as so many excellent books have already done so well. Rather, it is the story of a man who was prepared, and ...

In his first novel, The Reversion, Steven Smith took the modern post-apocalyptic genre to a new level of general fiction, introducing us to a world after a cataclysmic collapse and taking us into the lives of those who survive and begin to rebuild. In his second novel, The Revival, he once again broke a barrier into adventure fiction, mixing humor and intense action with social commentary, political philosophy and in-depth examinations of comparative justice and cultural constructs - all skillfully woven into a compelling story of personal and societal survival so as to be both powerful yet...

Author's Note - As I have mentioned in past books, this is a sequel to the previous and should be read after the others; The Reversion, The Revival and The Renewal, in order to fully understand it. My reason for this is simple; I’ve always found it tedious to read re-introductions of situations and characters, and so have no desire to write them. For those who have read the first three books in this series, you may have seen that I intended to title this one The Blessings of Freedom and make it the first in a new series called the New America series - my reason being that the action ...

As the world continues to rebuild after the collapse, groups across the country are coming together to form new communities. Some just want to survive. Some want to build a better place in which to live than the one that is now gone. And some want to conquer and enslave others in order to expand their own fledgling empires. In this evolving mix, Stonemont and their allies must navigate the ever-changing dynamics of friends and enemies - and attempt to build a new place in the world where people can live free.

Writing the Stonemont series has been one of the most enjoyable and challenging things I have ever done. And for that I thank you, the reader. When I first started writing what became The Reversion, the first book in the series, I had no idea it would become a book. When it did become a book, I had no idea there would be a second book, and when I finished the second book, I had no idea it would become a series. And now, here we are. One thing I have particularly enjoyed about writing the Stonemont series is that I have been able to teach principles of preparedness and survival to so many ...
