SAMPLE OF BOOK #1 OF THE LOST HORIZON SERIES Hundreds of years ago, the earth experienced a collapse. The surface of the once prosperous planet was reduced to nothing but a desert wasteland. Those few who'd survived the travesty were forced to live in domed cities. In one of these safe havens, Sanctuary as it was named, its people accepted the fact that human life no longer belonged on the Outside World. This simply became a law of reality. However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future. What will they uncover beyond the lost horizon? - Wasteland Bandits Complete

2074, the world has been ravaged by relentless global warming, causing an unprecedented catastrophe. Billions of human and animal lives have been swept away, while the Earth has become a hellish place. Glaciers have melted, leaving behind desolate landscapes and extreme temperatures. The daily average exceeds 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), making the simple act of survival a titanic challenge. Coastal areas have vanished, submerged by a salty sea that no longer supports life. The inland lands have turned into arid sand deserts, where the hope of finding refuge is a distant mirage. Oxygen itself has become a precious commodity, with concentrations so low that survival without the aid of respirators is an impossible feat. In the heart of this inferno, a small group of survivors struggles to endure. They seek refuge in technological enclaves, sharing meager resources and facing the challenge of staying alive every day. Michele, the protagonist, is faced with desperate choices. In a journey through scorching deserts and apocalyptic landscapes, Michele will confront not only the perils of untamed nature but also the dark machinations of desperate human groups, willing to do anything to secure a future. With every step, Michele must battle against despair and strive to keep the flame of hope alive. - Drifters Complete

And from the curious way the lizards and birds watch her with glassy eyes, the way the stars in the sky grow exponentially in number during nights of tragedy, and the way captured raiders whisper of a blue goddess wandering in the darkness, Samantha finds herself drawn deeper into a superstitious world filled more with mystery than with terror. And within the wreckage of secret, ancient tunnels beneath the moonlit sands, Samantha discovers why the god of her oasis has given her a magical, weaponized genie.
