Thunder Wells

Nobody ever said surviving an apocalyptic alien invasion would be easy, let alone possible. For Jack Fairbanks, there's no other option than to try.Jack, a college sophomore, survived the plague, wasn't near a coast when the tsunamis crashed ashore, and dodged the kinetic bombardment. While destroying great swaths of humanity, the Mawks delivered a series of EMPs, wrecking the electrical grids, communication networks, and all but the most rudimentary elements of transportation.To finish the job, the Mawks seeded Earth with dozers and crawlers, tracking beasts created to crave the taste of human flesh, and hunt what remained of mankind to extinction. Despite Jack believing humanity's fate as a doomed species, he spends his waking hours scavenging, and patrolling the metro park claimed as his territory. Brutish dozers and relentless crawlers aren't Jack's only concern. Vile human gangs want Jack's buried stockpile of food and supplies. Twisted cannibals desire his flesh. Lucia, a hardened urban survivor, is Jack's single connection outside his park. That is, until what remains of the Ohio National Guard comes calling. Rather than hold out in his park and wait for the end, Jack offers his food and supplies, and his rifle, in a bid to change the course of the invasion. To give humanity one final sliver of a chance.Neither Jack nor Lucia know exactly what the soldiers are up to, and why their column is moving south. The Mawks might be in the dark as well. Nevertheless, even as Jack pieces together the Army's goal, part of a secret global effort, the Mawks finally descend from orbit and bring their technological might to bear.
