Stranded in a collapsing Florida, Wyatt and Willow flee the wreckage of Miami in a desperate push toward escape by land or by air. Back in Wisconsin, Sierra and the kids fortify the house against growing threats, but as their neighbors grow bolder, survival may mean choosing between quiet resistance and open defiance in Wave of Ruin Book 2.

From the 4.5-million-copy bestselling author Mike Kraus comes another gripping series, written with bestseller Marcus Richardson!

Terrorists launch the most devastating attack in American history, crippling the nation's ports and train stations in a coordinated strike. Cruise ships vanish in flame, states go dark and on board the last ship still afloat, Wyatt and Willow Carter are about to witness the final blow.

Trapped aboard the
Emperor of the Seas as it approaches Miami, the Carters are separated when terrorists strike from within.

Meanwhile, back home in Wisconsin, their children Jack and Hadley, along with Wyatt's sister Sierra, face a different kind of war.

With the ship under siege and a nuclear weapon on board, Wyatt joins forces with a desperate security team in a last-ditch effort to reclaim control and prevent his wife and himself from certain death.

As the power fails, the cold sets in and neighbors turn hostile, the safety of Jack, Hadley and Sierra's home becomes a battleground.

Across dual fronts on land and sea, one family fights to survive in a world unraveling by the hour.
