We are excited to announce that we have signed a 3-Book deal with the prolific Dustin Plantholt, a media and journalism professional who served as a senior editor of Forbes and is the founder of a cybersecurity firm.
Homebound Apocalypse is the first installment of the series, a relentless post-apocalyptic story of family and survival in a nation undone by its own recklessness. The novel is due out in all formats in the 2nd half of 2027.
Synopsis for Homebound Apocalypse:
A school in Iran is bombed, and children are killed. From their fathers’ grief rises the Brothers of Iran, a faction built for vengeance. America never sees it coming.
The grid dies in seconds. The country goes dark. It was not a foreign army at the gates. America’s own defenses turned inward, and the sky over the continent burned with the nation’s own warheads. The machines built to keep the country safe had other plans.
Edward and Anna Kirkpatrick are a thousand miles from home when electromagnetic pulses kill the power. A routine business trip strands them in Miami, cut off from their children in northern Baltimore County, Maryland. No phones. No cars. No rescue coming.
So they start walking.
The road home runs through the apocalypse. Dead engines on the highways. Cities on fire. Ordinary people turning lethal once the food is gone. To reach their kids, two parents will be pushed past every line they swore they would never cross.
But their teenage children are fighting a war of their own, and time is running out for all of them.
