America is under attack, in the epic, post-apocalyptic sequel to “prepper themed” bestseller, .
2019. Six years after the Jakarta Pandemic; life is back to normal for Alex Fletcher and most Americans. Appearances can be deceiving. An undercurrent of paranoia and fear still runs strong below the surface; the collective angst spawned by 28 million American deaths forever stamped into … American deaths forever stamped into population’s psyche.
On August 19, 2019, an inconceivable “event” will unleash a darkness over the United States. A human darkness with a vast appetite for chaos and violence. Alex Fletcher will wake to this new world, thrown headfirst into an impossible journey. His skills and preparations will be put to the ultimate test, in a brutally hostile landscape, where the forged bonds of friendship and family remain the only true constant.
Author’s note: The Perseid Collapse is the first book in The Perseid Collapse Trilogy, and chronicles the first 48 hours “post-event,” as the characters navigate a hostile landscape to reach their destinations. Event Horizon, book two in the series, picks up where book one ends, completing their arduous trek and unveiling a harsh, new reality for Alex Fletcher.

Packed with details which made it feel like you were there.
Tight wired action, but ended with an unresolved cliffhanger to only be answered by reading the next in the series.
Overall a good exciting story. It seemed, however, to be incomplete. Readers are left hanging, (which is expected) but it would have seemed a little more complete if he had been able to reach the kids. The reader would still be left wondering how and if they would get back to their families.
Good time killer.
story never ended
This was my first…..first by the author, first near future, post semi-apocalyptic read, first “holy cow- that could definitely happen “ book- I loved it and it made me realize my family should be a little better prepared for , well, everything! The book is fun to read, real enough to make you think & involving enough you will want to read the …
Gets your adrenaline pumping! Scary to imagine things like this could actually take place in the USA.
Wow! Steven Konkoly’s series, “The Perseid Collapse”, is one of the best series I have read in a long, long time. I read many books every month from Science Fiction and Adventure to Magic/Fantasy, Religion, History, Biographies, and well, I love books!
This series was one of those that you didn’t want to stop reading. Remember those nights when …
It really drew me in but I was ready for a completion tithe story and just lest me hanging to discover what happened with the home guard. Episodic. Somewhat like Mark TwAine novels.
I just started the series last weekend and i’m on book three. Great read!
Pretty good mind candy but author not well versed on firearms and gun laws.
If you decide to read this series you should be aware that you will need to get the whole series for the complete story. The whole story could have been contained in two volumes. So much non essential side stories that detract from the main stor’y.
pretty awful unless you want to read endless detail about military type firearms
just one improbable, macho scramble after another.
This book makes one look at “preppers” in a new light.
This book Is more ideal for ex or current military or people very interested in guns. For me the gun/ammo detail was excessive and the characters were undeveloped in other areas. It was readable enough to finish the book. I was very disappointed that it seemed to end before anything was solved, as if it ended in the middle. I won’t bother with the …
what would people do if there were only a few survivors. behavior can certainly be unpredictable if your life depended on survival instincts.
Got really hooked on his books.
I liked the book, but it was only half the story.
LOVED it!!
Bought the rest if the series it was so good! I was hooked!
This author has talent, but I am not his target audience. There are pages and pages of loving descriptions of firearms, nautical equipment, military tactics, etc. and then there’s the turn by turn account of every step of the journey from Portland, Maine to Boston. That’s pretty much it. No resolution to the story of course. I presume that’s …
