If you’re between a rock and a hard place, choose the rock…

Pinned down in a hot zone with a woman he’s not even sure he likes, Roque “Rock” Dimas is herded into the fiery center of an extinction-level event where only two choices exist: run for your life, or burrow in to the last place anyone sane would go and confront the enemy directly. The problem is, one man against a multitude of threats just isn’t enough…

Locked down on the outskirts of the emerging Chicago wasteland, a more nefarious conflict is brewing, one between Fire Dimas and a ruthless human trafficker with an axe to grind. In the high-stakes game of kidnappers and assassins, Fire and his brother, Ice, will tear the world apart to get what’s theirs, but will that be enough? 

Welcome to the next evolution of high-octane, post-apocalyptic survival fiction! The Age of Hysteria is filled with fully-developed characters you’ll love and want to know, big apocalyptic action, a splash of humor and the kind of nail-biting suspense that rarely lets up.

* NOTE: The Age of Embers series can be read as a stand alone series or in addition to The Last War series. Both of these series are written in the same universe on the same timeline and some characters will overlap. With tens of millions of pages read, more than seventy-thousand books sold, and hundreds of five star reviews, The Complete Last War Series is the perfect compliment to The Age of Embers series.

WHAT FANS OF THE AGE OF EMBERS ARE SAYING…

“Epic apocalyptic read with compelling characters! Ryan knows how to write action and suspense. But where he truly shines is the flawed, complex, broken but resolute heroes and heroines he creates. Dare I say that I loved the characters in this book even more than The Last War series—and that’s saying something. These characters are embroiled in deep, high-stakes problems before the apocalypse even starts. How their journeys entwine with the oncoming, world-ending disaster makes for great fiction.”

– Kyla Stone, author of the bestselling The Last Sanctuary series, Amazon Review★★★★★

“Nerve racking action! So much going on and written so well! I loved this book for so many reasons. Excitement! Lots of Action! Family Spirit! Important issues weaved into the story line such as sex trafficking and school bullying. I held my breath to get through all the nonstop insanity of an AI takeover!

– Terry, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★

“A real page turner! This book is amazing for all the right reasons! The characters are just like us; they have issues that they struggle with on an ordinary level and not on a super hero level. The themes of family, gangs, drug smuggling, and sex trafficking will touch each and everyone one of us who reads this series.”

– Jonnie, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★

“Wow, just wow! What a rush of action. Fast paced and full of destruction but with characters you grow to love. If you like action-packed apocalyptic scenarios, you will love this and The Last War series!”

– WMH Cheryl, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★
