Raina was just a kid when the virus wiped out the world.

Tell us a bit more about your main characters And if you like Joss Whedon, better yet I try to include humor alongside the tension. But most of them get better at it.Ĭomplete this sentence for us: if you like _, you’ll love The Breakers series. Initially, they’re not very good at it, which means it’s probably not much of a prepper story. The alien invasion part might make it sound pretty sci-fi, but the story is more about a batch of flawed, weak characters coming to grips with the apocalypse and finding the strength to survive. None of the books are direct sequels, and I do my best to make each one work as a complete story of its own.Īnyone who likes reading about the end of the world. Well, you should probably go back in time and read Breakers and Melt Down before you’d read Knifepoint. Sounds very exciting, but if we start here we’ll only be getting half the story, right? Meanwhile, a desperate mission is sent to the Yucatan, where the man who brought down the invaders has been living in isolation–because the aliens survived after all. But when conquerers from Catalina island smash her family, she vows revenge against their leader. Raina, a teenager orphaned during the outbreak, has been adopted by a new set of parents and lives a quiet life in the ruins of Los Angeles. Six years after the apocalypses–first a plague, then the aliens who sent it–humanity has been reduced to a scant handful of survivors. Knifepoint is the third book in my Breakers series.
