The world didn't end all at once. It died in waves.
When the Tartarus Variant swept across the globe, it took nearly everything with it-leaving behind a broken world where survival comes at a cost... and trust can get you killed.
Dixon Mateo has carved out a fragile existence in what remains of Colorado-living alone in a fortified police station he calls the Station. With his loyal dog Ripley and his horse Ella, he survives by staying unseen, staying armed... and staying alive.
But in a world ruled by chaos, staying hidden never lasts.
Fanatical religious zealots known as the Clerics-or Holy Joes-are cleansing the land in the name of salvation. What's left of the U.S. military-the Gunners-hunt survivors for reasons no one fully understands. And out in the ruins, even a bag of sweet corn can cost a man his life.
When a chance encounter forces Dixon to step in and save a stranger, everything changes.
Because in a world this broken...one decision can mean the difference between survival and something more.
Brutal. Gritty. Unforgiving.Tartarus Variant is a story of survival, loyalty, and the thin line between who we were... and what we become when the world falls apart.
And out here in the ruins of the Rockies-there are no good guys left.
