The World Burns - Complete - Unabridged & Uncut: Books 1-11
(2026)(A book in the World Burns series)
An omnibus of novels by Boyd Craven III
In a world where the grid has gone dark and society has crumbled, Blake Jackson thought he was prepared. A frugal handyman living off the Kentucky bottomlands, Blake had spent years building a self-sufficient homestead and documenting his off-grid lifestyle on a popular blog. But when a devastating EMP strike shatters the modern world, his quiet life is thrown into chaos. What began as a simple first date with Sandra, the daughter of a local pastor, becomes a desperate race for survival.
As "The World Burns," Blake’s isolated ten-acre retreat becomes a sanctuary for a growing band of survivors. Alongside Sandra and her father, Pastor Duncan, Blake must transform his homestead into a fortress to protect those fleeing the chaos of the cities. From battling ruthless convict gangs to navigating the treacherous new political landscape of a fractured America, the group must work together to survive what is yet to come.
The collapse of the United States draws in international threats and internal insurgencies. While Blake and his family defend their home, others like Michael and Neal navigate the ruins of society, facing everything from extremist militias to foreign invaders. Through fire, betrayal, and the harsh realities of a lawless world, these desperate groups are forced to find common ground, realizing that in the end, their only hope lies in rebuilding what was lost.
A sweeping epic tale of grit, romance, and resilience, The World Burns explores the heights of human bravery and the depths of depravity in a world where every day is a fight for tomorrow. In the face of total annihilation, Blake and his allies will prove that even when the world burns, the human spirit cannot be extinguished.
This is the complete, unabridged and uncut collection of what was previously 11 novellas. A collection that ties into a dozen or so novels I wrote, in my earlier career. Re-edited and slightly modernized for new readers.
Genre: Science Fiction
