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.

Enjoyed following Tristan and Nash as the deal with the world ending events. Some unexpected twists
I found myself up late reading! Not happily ever after but gritty.
Kind of uneven, but compelling overall. Characters were definitely not black and white – lots of grey areas.
A good read
I like this stile of book. A good read
Great story from start to finish. Walt is quit a character who seemingly bungles his way thru life from one mishap to the next. Definitely worth reading!
Great- enjoyed all the stories. Always unexpected events popping up.
I got through bbok 1, but was not interested in continuing the series.
Good read.
Thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 books of this series, plan on reading the next ones. I would recommend this series to anyone that enjoys “end of the world as we know it” genre.
bring on more of this series!!
Read all 3 off these as they follow on seamlessly ,loved these
The trilogy presents its own problems in that the author follows the same pattern in each book where at the end of each chapter, there will be a cliff hanging event and the next chapter will switch to a different group of characters. Also, the author provides all characters with the same teenage sarcastic sense of human which get old quickly.

Robertson is a master story-teller! If you are a fan of post-apocolyptic stories, his Breakers series is a must read. If you aren’t, give this one a try, and you will be hooked!
Great series, could not put it down. Highly recommended.
The series is amazing! One story leads to another and characters are reintroduced as the author weaves a great tale!
These three books were extremely well written. Unfortunately, it caused me to not get other things done that I should have, but it was worth it. I think that things would probably go pretty much the way it was written if we were attacked in this manner. The character development was outstanding, and the tying together of the stories was very well …
This trilogy was so amazing i bought the whole series and wasn’t sorry! Engrossing and addictive.
Loved it…recommend it..enjoyed very much
Very thought provoking. It makes you wonder how you would act when pressed to survive.
