#1- Is survival worth the loss of humanity?
Finding a friend in the apocalypse isn't easy. And for Jake Martin, ever since the plague wiped out 99% of humanity, it's been damn-near impossible. Life has become an endless trek for canned food, shelter, and avoiding those who've turned to killing for anything all while trying not to become a killer himself.
When Jake encounters an elderly wanderer named Billy on the highway to ruined Las Vegas, everything changes. Billy reminds him of life before the end of the world, of when being human meant acting like more than a mindless beast. Although their bond quickly grows, two men don't make a commune.
Together, they stumble upon a gang of scavengers keeping Amanda Contreras and her daughter prisoner, and using the mother to fulfill their base needs. Jake and Billy decide it’s time to stop just looking out for themselves.
After risking everything to break the girls free, their commune grows to four. Now, they must all learn to cooperate if they're to survive in a primitive, hostile world in search of a new home. Each of them will learn how far they're willing to go to continue living... or if living is even worth it.

#2 - Survival doesn't have to be lonely...
Jake, Billy, and the other survivors have come to settle in the mountains of Wyoming, fighting day in and out to establish a home for themselves in a near-empty world. Things are good at first—well, as good as they can be after the apocalypse.
Scavenging is a workable, short-term solution, but they know it's only a matter of time before the food runs out. A sustainable solution must be found and for a handful of people up in the mountains, the odds don't seem favorable.
They get even worse when a new band of survivors migrates to the very same mountains, desperate for a place to settle. Jake can't refuse them a home and shelter, but a growing commune means more hungry mouths, which means more sacrifices, and more people to learn to trust.
As resources run thin, the world grows colder and more brutal. Survival might just depend on how violent they're willing to get...

#3 - Hunker Down and let the world go to Hell.
Having been bolstered with supplies sufficient to carry them through the winter, the survivors of the Jackson commune must now hunker down and endure the bitter Wyoming winter. But as they flourish, hungry eyes are set upon them throughout the west.
The leftovers of the US Military encamped in the last known surviving tent city, the Elysium Fields of Arizona, hear word of large number of survivors in Wyoming who have begun to rebuild civilization with plans for farming and real shelter. Their commander, Otto Warren, sees this as a chance to take control of a base for exploring the Pacific Northwest.
While in Nevada, a clan of ruthless scavengers grows ever larger, each day bringing them a step closer to collapsing under their own weight. They need more, and the settlement in Wyoming just might be the perfect place to hit.
Resources are becoming scarcer by the day as the world trudges on, and the Jackson commune is sitting on prime real estate.

#4 - Survivors do not hesitate...
Otto Warren's military force and the Wyoming Commune have come to a peaceful agreement. Jake will remain in charge alongside Warren's people, while Warren and his army seek more survivors throughout the Northwest. More strangers Jake isn't sure he can trust.
In Colorado, Clay's scavenger crew has ballooned so large, he finds himself using corporal punishment to maintain order. He's less concerned about real justice than he is about keeping the group from turning into a mindless mob. But as time goes by after the fall of civilization, there's less and less to scavenge. Colorado can no longer support them.
These two factions and their opposing ideologies about how to rebuild the world collide in Jackson, Wyoming. Two unstoppable forces. Only one can remain, if they don't all destroy each other first.
Experience the epic conclusion to the Commune Series. Trust us, you'll never be the sam

#5 - Books and Bug are polar opposites, despite their friendship. Rumors on the road speak of a hospital in Washington D.C. Leading a small group of survivors, including pregnant women, the two travel in earnest to provide the soon-to-be mothers a safe place to deliver.
Bug, a natural, charismatic leader, refuses to leave anyone behind while the other, Books is a pragmatic social outsider who wishes not to be responsible for the safety of others. Together, they're exactly what this group needs to survive.
But DC isn't exactly the safehaven they hoped for, having been divided into three major factions: the Mall—which is controlled by a man named Knox and his lieutenants— Columbia Heights to the north, and Anacostia to the south.
On arrival, Books immediately recognizes that the people of the Mall are in a wartime posture. Uncomfortable with the idea of being pulled into someone else's war, he advises that the entire company should depart. Bug, upon realizing that the Mall is wonderfully organized with hydro-electric power, security, and a functioning hospital, refuses that advice, stating that it is more than fair that they should help their new benefactors defend their adopted territory.
Can their bond endure their conflicting points of view or will they be drawn against each other, and into a war that will consume everyone... leaving DC in Ashes?

#6 - Eleven years after the fall...
In the process of searching for Pinch, a long-lost mythic figure who has attained a talismanic status, Gibs has resorted to making a living doing contract work with his friend Alan, the young man who followed him out of the Wyoming commune.
Hired by a family as escorts on a cross-country trip to Texas, they are ambushed by a group of raiders. The family is captured, children and all, and Gibs and Alan are left behind with only some pistols and a handful of bullets between them, and no food or water to speak of.
They pursue the attackers, following the tracks left by the raiders until the trail goes cold a few days later. But evidence of further murders abounds in the region.
The owner of a waystation informs them of a mining settlement out east in the fallen town of Grand Saline which operates on slave labor. Reasoning that their attackers were likely slavers, Gibs resolves to go to Grand Saline in search of the family.
Settling in nearby Iron Bridge, as there is no evidence of slavery within its borders, they begin to plan. But nothing in Iron Bridge makes sense. A bizarre dual-class system is at play, its people are standoffish, and the town seems at odds with itself at every turn.
Gibs and Alan are left to sound out the mysteries of this strange new place, determine what if any weaknesses Grand Saline has to exploit, and save the children from the slavers' salt mines.
