Have you ever heard of a “worldwide earthquake”? Neither had James Cole until it happened. It happened everywhere, of course, but it happened to James Cole in downtown New York.
Authorities immediately cut off all the river crossings into and out of Manhattan and erects a huge plastic tent to accommodate the survivors where they have emergency supplies and an air filtration system that blocks the caustic particulates in the air from getting into the survivors’ lungs.

An earthquake brings New York City, and the world, to its knees. James Cole is saved by Tuckey, who befriends him in the chaotic aftermath. James is focused on trying to go home to his wife, but then darkness descends, demonic creatures appear, and all Hell breaks loose.
So we have an apocalyptic, end of days scenario. I liked the concept of the cataclysmic events and destruction of much of the human race, coupled with a supernatural angle. I didn't say "religious" angle, as the author was carefu...more

It becomes increasingly tricky to innovate a fairly well-explored fiction genre, and the idea of a zombie apocalypse is no exception - zombies are fast or slow, voodoo or viral, after your brains or simply any iron-rich tissue of the body, a tool for a gorefest or an allegory for society. Sometimes it seems like, in the overal body of work involving zombies, it's all been done.

Loved this book. I read book one in this series as well. It was great to follow another character and feel/see their plight. It was also great to see the melding of the character in book one and the character in book two's stories. I loved being able to experience it from their perspectives which were of course different. Each book builds upon the previous one. I know there are going to be like 6 total so I am so very excited for the next ones in the series so I can see the whole picture and all...more

Excitement, danger, apocalypse. They go together, and this has it all.
The earthquake hit the earth. A man seeking shelter and help disappeared. As others struggle to put meaning to their lives, the puzzle starts coming together. Not all who survived are what they were. Those not changed by the strangers path must struggle against those that were changed.
In taking a subject like the apocalypse and zombies, there are too many books out there already that...more

Redbacks, the second book in the "As Darkness Ends" series is even better than the first. The author this time tells what was happening while the events of the first book where happening. This time, the character that gave Travis Hunter the radio in the first book is fleshed out and we see what happens to James Cole and the survivors from the tent after the earthquake. We see James and his struggle to get off of Manhattan all while trying to survive the new havoc reeked by Travis. The story is f...more
Redbacks is the second book in the "As Darkness Ends" series. The first book focused on Travis Hunter who has a specific job to do in the apocalypse sequence. Redbacks continues the saga from the eyes of James Cole, who has banded together with a small group of survivors. The story runs parallel to Travis Hunter's story and shows the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. Emotions are concentrated and personal. While the reader has a sense of what is happening globally and why, these survivors o...more
A fun, fast-paced zombie apocalypse!

Aaron Crocco can be summed up as a writer and a podcaster, but complicating issues further is the fact that he's a huge geek, Apple fanboy and loves Back to the Future so much that he owns a Delorean. In the mid-2000′s his writing spark was reignited and he's been tearing up the keyboard ever since, slinging words all over the place. Aaron's apocalyptic debut series AS DARKNESS ENDS explores the e...more
