In the Breakers series, humanity faces not one apocalypse, but two: first a lethal pandemic, then a war against those who made the virus. This collection includes the first three books and is over 1000 pages (350,000 words) of post-apocalyptic survival.BREAKERS (Book 1)In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their … about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter. A plague tears across the world, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. Civilization comes to an abrupt stop.
Just as the survivors begin to adapt to the aftermath, Walt learns the virus that ended humanity wasn’t created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job–and Earth’s survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.
MELT DOWN (Book 2)
In upstate Idaho, Ness Hook is run out of his mom’s house by his bullying brother Shawn. In Redding, California, Tristan Carter is graduating college, but with no job and no prospects, she’ll have to move back in with her parents.
Then the world ends: first with a virus, then with an alien invasion.
Ness and Shawn take to the mountains to fight a guerrilla against the attackers. In California, Tristan and Alden are taken prisoner. Separated from her brother, Tristan crosses the ruins of America to track him down. She will stop at nothing to get Alden back–but her fellow survivors prove even more dangerous than the monsters who broke the world.
KNIFEPOINT (Book 3)
Raina was just a girl when the plague came. She survived. Her parents didn’t. Neither did the world. As civilization fell, she took to the ruins of Los Angeles, eating whatever she could catch.
After two years alone, she’s found and adopted by a fisherman and his wife. Their makeshift family lives a quiet life–until a man named Karslaw sails in from Catalina Island with an army of conquerors. Driven by visions of empire, he executes Raina’s new father as a traitor and takes her mother captive.
But Karslaw’s people aren’t the only ones vying for control of the ruined land. As violence wracks the city, Raina joins a rebellion against Karslaw’s rule. She will stop at nothing to free her mother–and to have her revenge.

I do tend to gravitate towards these types of books, the ones that have some wit and a heap of sarcasm. It is more than that though, it is a really great read. I really loved this series and I couldn’t stop reading them. I wish I could go back and read them for the first time all over again (which will be the case in a few years because I already …
The Breaker Series is fantastic. I’ve been a fan of science fiction for years and this is one of my favorite series. It has everything: apocalyptic virus, heroic survivors and not so heroic survivors, hostile alien attackers, romance- not the iccky kind,
One of the aspects I particularly like is how the plot introduces new characters with a …
Hauntingly familiar for something that’s supposed to be science fiction
A world pandemic! We can relate to that!
I have read literally hundreds of books and have never read anything like this series!!! It was awesome I wanted to always be reading and at the same time dreaded coming to the end!! I can not recommend this enough!! Not just the first 3 mind you all 8 books, I never wanted this story to end!!!!!!
The first 2 books of the series were much better than the third. I felt, by the last half of the third book, that the plot was just a little too “out there.”
I really liked this story. Sort of like The Stand with aliens. It got a little tiresome toward the end with the young girl.
It seemed very realistic, how a pandemic could devastate humanity and how different people from different backgrounds would react and interact.
I really like this series so much that I bought the next set.
Well worth the read. Read these twice already.
I had to stop once I realized book 2 was going to be the same as book 1, just from different eyes. I’m not going through all that again.
Apocalyptic story, people trying to cope with the new reality. Great characters, fascinating theme of people taking on new roles in.life.
I really enjoyed the characters. The story line was at once fantastic and completely believable.
A new twist on post apocalyptic America.
Not worth reading. The story was.sub par. Difficult to.get into. characters were okay but the author didn’t seem to be able to.separate them. I continually found myself backtracking –sometime several pages–to.see.if I.missed something. Did not Transitions were very bumpy and erratic. I was very disappointed in this book.since it had so many …
I loved this series. I couldn’t wait to sign off from work to read it.
Such a smooth flow and the author instantly pulled me into the stories and kept me there throughout.
Good book
Good apocalypse books
Book one was awesome. Book 2 was very fair, was interesting. Book 3…I’ve been reading book 3 for months now…
I loved this series. It is well written and has lots of interesting twists. many of what seemed to be main characters have a way of getting killed off!! Quite a surprise to find, in book three, why the aliens decided to bump us off!
