The world as they know it is gone. Family, friends, and coworkers no longer exist. To survive and rebuild society they must join other strangers with dark secrets of their own. And that's just the beginning... Apocalypse Dawn: The Beginning of the End is the first in a three-book series that follows a group of people left to fend for themselves after an apocalyptic event changes the landscape of the world forever. Vincent Tisdale is an average man with an average life that is brutally ripped from him when he loses his wife and his daughter during the event. Marty Nasland sees the apocalypse as a second chance to redeem himself for his past sins; if only he could tell his son Adam just what those sins are and how they had hurt him. The three men band together to travel to a remote farm in Ohio, where other survivors are coming together and trying to form their own society. Standing in their way is the evil David Michael Engle, who, after discovering his true heritage, wants to make sure the earth stays as sinful as it ever was. His vision for the world is the antithesis of Vince's, and Vince knows it is just a matter of time before his group must rise against Engle and his dark forces. Little does Vince know, however, that there may be one hiding among his group who's ideas mirror Engle's, and who's actions just may be Vince's downfall. Apocalypse Dawn: The Beginning of the End is a post-apocalyptic novel with many twists and turns. It shows how man's desires cannot be contained even when the world around him is crumbling, shown through the eyes and thoughts of the men who hope to remake this new world in their own visions.
