USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR & #1 POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION AUTHOR

***SALE PRICE - LIMITED TIME ONLY - $5.99 vs $9.99!***
YELLOWSTONE MEETS THE HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS IN THE APOCALYPSE...
The picturesque town of Burning Hollow--a town nestled comfortably in the Tennessee holler--is, and has always been, a town divided. For a century, the powerful Bickmore and Banks families have fought for control of the town, leaving scars and generational wounds that have never healed. But when an EMP attack eviscerates the power grid and humanity is plunged into chaos, the collapse of civilization reignites their bitter feud in ways no one imagined.
Rowdy Banks never planned to return to the holler that cast him out, but tragedy pulled him back home, straight into the path of Chloe Bickmore and her daughter, Everleigh. Pitched into a nightmare with many layers, haunted by a messy, unsettled past, the three struggle to survive in a world without trust, the rule of law, or any safe harbor. As with the nature of the universe, chaos brings trouble—the kind no one expected—steering the holler into a head-on collision with violent forces destined to shape this new dark world.
Across six genre-defining books, each a #1 post-apocalyptic fiction bestseller, the fight to survive runs from the East Tennessee back-roads to human barricades, escalating from preppers, stragglers, and small militias to a full-fledged foreign invasion. The holler’s only chance is to gather its forces and harden its defenses. If the surviving families hope to survive, bitter rivals must stand together despite their sullied history, uniting as one front to protect their piece of America against those intent on taking it.
Fans of Kyla Stone, Franklin Horton, Jack Hunt, Grace Hamilton, TL Payne, and Mike Kraus will devour this intense, heart-warming, and sometimes funny new post-apocalyptic family saga. Charge your Kindle, grab your caffeine, and find a cozy spot to binge the apocalyptic series readers say “sets the bar for today’s apocalyptic and dystopian fiction.”

The Complete Sunset on America series.
Please let this be a series! Im so sad it has come to an end & it could end no other way. I absolutely loved this, Schow does an amazing job at painting a picture so vivid, I felt the adrenaline soar through me at times, the fight scenes, I was there! I even cried twice.... I can't give you spoilers, what fun is that. Schow tells a story of what could very well happen, we have been sleeping walking, & there is a lot of sheep and stupidity out there. That being said, I can see how this could one day come to fruition. In this apocalyptic war, fight for survival saga, there is loyalty, humor, love, hate, rage, and spiritual belief. I loved it, I'm sad it's over. I absolutely feel a void and already miss the characters I lived vicariously through. Excellent read!!!
Can't wait to read more of his work.

What a TEN STAR ride!!!
Thank you, Ryan Schow, for one of the best apocalyptic books I have ever read! This is my preferred genre, so when I saw this series offered on KU, I quickly downloaded it. I was drawn to the artwork on each of the books in the series.
I really enjoy long books, it gives you time to get to know the characters, and this series did not disappoint. I laughed, got angry and even cried. Some of the characters were unique (Catrick and Bartholomew), and lots of them relatable (Ruth and the Cody boys). Its a little scary to think this could be our world, the top headlines.
Thus is the first book of Ryan Schow that I've read and enjoyed, I will be reading more of his work!

This is an excellent series to read!!
I could certainly see the world as it is today in this series. The “political” statements made me love reading this even more because we truly have been screwed over by most of the past government administrations for years. Being the oldest of 12 kids where we all milked the cows, tended the chickens, butchered hogs, planted, harvested and helped preserve everything we grew in our huge garden I could totally relate to the female characters. At the age of seventy-one I continue to plant a large garden and preserve enough for my family and still have plenty to share. I felt like I knew the characters personally and I really hated for the series to end.

Good read but.....
The only thing I didn't care for in this story was Ryan Show needs to keep negative political views and opinions out of his writing. Speaking negatively of "red" and "blue" cities" and "woke" as being a bad thing, has its place, but to me not in his writing. It has a tendency to make people who disagree with him not want to read other books written by him.

Wow!
Great series! A little too graphic at times, but I just glossed over some- that's a personal opinion. At the end I cried. Seriously. Check it out!

Another Excellent Series
Ryan has a true gift for developing characters to fall in love with. Thank you for the massive attention to detail for each of these characters. I wish this series went on forever.
