Six months ago, Harper Cody stressed out over finding the right college–now, she’ll be thrilled if she makes it to her eighteenth birthday.Unexpected nuclear war destroyed the world she knew along with her dreams for a future. Violent thugs took away her parents and home, sending her fleeing into the ashes with her traumatized little sister. Following her best hope for survival, she chased a … chased a rumor of safety in the mountains.
Evergreen, Colorado turned out to be the shelter she’d hoped for. There, her patchwork family could make the best of the world left behind. However, their new home came with an unexpected twist: to keep her father’s shotgun and protect her sister, sweet, introverted Harper had to join the militia.
Safety is relative in the aftermath of societal collapse. The mountain town may have avoided the worst of the atomic blasts, but danger still surrounds them: unstable people, starvation, cold, disease… and something or someone creeping about late at night, stalking the most vulnerable among them.

Another suspenseful survivalist drama that picks up where the last book left off. This dystopian focuses on how the characters survive and navigate life in this new world.
I love this series so far. What would you do if life as you know it stops. Harper is seeing that first hand. Three months ago radiation killed the world as well as her parents now she’s found a place for her and her little sister. They found Cliff a veteran that was a mall cop and his sort of adopted son while fighting to get to the town they now live in called evergreen. Harper was a competition shooter so now she’s part of the malitia along with Cliff and they try to keep the town safe. They will find they are not perfectly safe danger is lurking in several places.
this is a good sequel for book 1. I recommend reading them in order as book 2 picks up right after book 1. Something or someone is following kids in town setting Harper on edge with worry. Someone is also stealing food from the supplies and people’s houses. Harper gets involved in more trouble and danger as she tries to protect those she cares about. I like to use the text to speech option on my kindle so I can listen and work. I borrowed through KU and I think it read me the audible version dud to audibles blurb at the end. If so the audible version is pretty good.
this was book two in this series and i loved it! they finally found a new place to call home and new friends. only there is danger from all sides heading right for them. you must read to find out what happens.
Well…Harper didnt see this coming. Being part of a Militia? Um no. She’s shy and quiet well she used to be and she’s had to do things she never thought. She’s reached a place of safety but protect the ones you love right? Not all hope is lost. Thats the one thing all these people still need. Above anything else I think. Co-existing and working together to protect one another. Harper doesnt just willy nilly kill. Nope she only does it if she has to. This is the new future for now…trying to survive and rebuild. I definitely recommend this series. The writing is superb. The characters feel real to me. Very realistic and thats hard to do and to keep your readers interested and wanting more which is pretty much anything Matthew writes. IMO. Onto the next!!!!
Harper and her little sister made their way to Evergreen, Colorado and are glad they did. Life isn’t perfect but they have a “family”, friends, and a safe place to live. But though things are getting kind of normal “at least normal after an ‘apocalypse” But life isn’t as good as Harper hoped, things start to change and not always for the better. Matthew Cox shows us what a life is like for Harper and you feel that your in the story with her. Enjoy ‘The World That Remains and head to book 3 in the series
Perfect closure of story.
I enjoyed the opportunity to see more of these characters. They each carried so much with them needing healing. It was nice to be there with them as they faced each issue.
