The ground is moving!

After a catastrophic tectonic collapse devastates the worl and shatters modern civilization, former Green Beret Sean and his loyal military dog Rebel struggle to survive in the frozen mountains of Colorado alongside a small group of hardened survivors. What begins as a desperate fight for survival becomes deeply personal when Sean discovers that raiders have murdered his closest friend and his family, setting him and the Silverback team on a dangerous path through ruined towns, collapsing infrastructure, brutal winters, and increasingly violent survivor factions. As the series unfolds, Sean, Amy, Tucker, Roach, Calder, and the rest of the group evolve from isolated survivors into reluctant leaders trying to protect civilians and rebuild order in a world consumed by chaos.

Across the eight books, the scope steadily expands from intimate mountain survival to regional warfare, political conflict, and the struggle to rebuild civilization itself. Bastion FOB rises and fractures under internal power struggles, independent coalitions form in the Rockies, and organized factions emerge with competing visions for humanity’s future—some built on cooperation, others on fear and domination. The survivors face relentless challenges, including brutal firefights, betrayal, shifting alliances, starvation, environmental collapse, and repeated tectonic disasters that threaten to destroy what little remains of the old world. Through it all, Sean wrestles with grief, leadership, loyalty, and the emotional scars left behind by years of violence, while the bond between the Silverback team becomes the emotional backbone of the series.

By the later books, the story transitions from simple survival into the difficult process of rebuilding a fractured society. Trade routes reopen, settlements grow into functioning communities, and a new generation begins emerging that never knew the old world before the collapse. Yet peace proves fragile as political tensions, rival powers, and the fear of repeating history threaten everything the survivors fought to create. At its heart, Ashes in the Rockies is a sweeping post-apocalyptic saga about survival, brotherhood, sacrifice, leadership, and hope—the story of ordinary people forced to endure the end of the world while trying to build something better from the ashes left behind.
