The New Republic Of Texas refused to let the old United States government take over Texas as their new capital, and refused to surrender all the military might they had shielded from the CME. Because of that, they were under constant attack by them, as if they didn’t already have enough problems from the southern border.

Needing to put an end to both, intelligence on the Cheyenne Mountain facility, where US President Widen and his cronies were holed up, and where the supply chain for those attacking from the Gulf and the border of Mexico originated was necessary.

Even with everything they had at their disposal after the CME, surviving a two-pronged attack for long didn’t seem likely to General James Hunley or President Adams. Follow along as, THE REPUBLIC FIGHTS BACK!

Get ready for an adventure!

Part 1 of Library Of The Apocalypse 2 introduces Dick Stone, who was down in Kentucky for a few days helping his parents get ready for planting on their small farm when news of the imminent CME reached the airwaves. He had to hurry home to his wife, Emily, and their two children in Ohio. It should have been such an easy thing. Just a couple of hours up the expressway and across the bridge—but when you add panicked people into the equation, nothing is ever easy…

Part 2 brings Dick Stone to Howard and Maggie’s farm for safety’s sake, where his neighbors have banded together for survival and protection from the lawless after the CME. It surprised them how evil some men could be when there was no longer any formal rule of law and seemingly no consequences for anything.

Dalton Grinder's life had unraveled in a brutal series of blows. First, the Army cast him aside. Then, his wife walked out, leaving him with nothing but the hollow echo of a once-shared life. As if that wasn't enough, his last remaining relative—his grandfather—passed away, closing the final chapter of his family history. Born and bred in the heat and humidity of Florida, Dalton now finds himself heading north to the cold, unforgiving woods of Wisconsin to settle his grandfather’s affairs.

But fate isn't done with him yet.

As Dalton arrives, the South is teetering on the edge of chaos. Legacy media dubs it an ‘insurrection,’ but the whispers on the ground speak of something far more ominous—the dawn of a new civil war. Birchwood Burning, the first book in the North of Eden series, unfolds against the backdrop of the Eden event, an apocalyptic event first introduced in Pete’s bestselling Three Days to Eden.

Dalton is about to discover that his battles are far from over.

Later, in Portland, Oregon, Colton got a call one morning from Jesse, a friend from the Patriot Defenders’ compound at Coal Mountain, Montana, who simply said, “Cletus has been kidnapped.”

Within minutes, Colton and Garvey had packed what they needed in the van, and they and Dog, determined to free Renfro at all costs, were on the road and headed directly into one of the most violent wars on American soil that nobody ever heard about!

Nika Michaels lived next to her mom and stepdad in a beautiful, scenic spot nestled in the Blue Mountains with more vacation homes for the rich than permanent residents. Their location overlooked the city of Walla Walla, Washington, and some of the nation's most fertile agricultural land, the Walla Walla Valley.

Nika was not just a casual prepper. She was convinced that the unraveling of society was a matter of when, not if. Her dedication to preparing for civil war, economic collapse, or any other potential calamity was almost obsessive. She had a plan for her entire family.

She did.

But when the surprise EMP attack of October 28th on the entire Lower 48 states of the nation made her fears a reality, she discovered just how difficult making that plan actually happen would be—mostly due to the majority of the local population of 33,000+ residents who had no plan at all…

** N.C. Scheel wanted her first book launched today in honor of her mother's birthday with this message:

This is dedicated to my mom, Sandra Wingfield, who has kept me going when I didn't think I could do it. Mom, you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I love you.
