Welcome to the Apocalypse
by D
L Richardson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Science Fiction/Apocalyptic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURBS:
"Players. Welcome to the apocalypse"
Book One – Pandora:
The
Apocalypse Games is a state of the art virtual game, yet when it traps over 100
players inside, there’s reason to worry – their simulation pods are designed to
last 3 days and the artificial intelligence is taking over.
Book Two – CyberNexis:
When
rescue finally arrives, the players are transported to an offsite facility to
recover from cyber sickness. Not all the players survived and not all is what
it seems. What is CyberNexis hiding out in the desert?
Book Three – Primal Scream:
The
disaster known as The Event has plunged the world into icy darkness. Humans
can’t survive but a group of mutants can. All signs lead back to the simulation
pods. What were they really designed for?
Join these characters
on an emotional and fast-paced journey to explore what it really means to
survive.

EXCERPT ONE:
From Book One –
Pandora:
Jack
Minnow grabbed a brochure off the rack and his eyes scanned the back page.
"It says here that rule breakers are ten times more likely to survive an
apocalypse. They're adaptable and they rely on cunning and instinct."
Jack
was five-foot-eight, and the woman behind the counter, called an operator, was
easily six-feet tall. Looking at her was like looking at a marble statue atop a
pedestal. All white – her hair, her tight-fitting jump suit, her face, neck,
and hands, painted to resemble a computer generated character. He allowed
himself to imagine that the stage make-up covered places he couldn't see.
She
smiled at him. "It also says that rule breakers are ten times more likely
to die within the first hour. They're reckless and often act without
thinking."
She
pushed a plastic tray towards him, the kind handed out at airports to slip
under x-ray machines. Jack dropped his wallet, phone, and car keys into the
tray.
"So
it's a win/win day for a guy with a superhero complex," he said.
Superman,
his mother had called him after he'd brought home a stray dog for the fifth
time.
"Can't
help but save things," she'd told the dog ranger. Even as a boy, Jack knew
what happened to the mutts who were handed over to the ranger, but he still
brought dogs home for one last night of fun. His superhero complex was the
reason he'd entered The Apocalypse Games. Save everyone. Save the world. Nobody
dies. Not for real anyway.
The
operator removed the tray and he stood there waiting for a voucher. None came.
A warning flared up into his brain. What did he really know about this
operation?

AUTHOR BIO:
D L Richardson writes
speculative fiction. She is currently a self-published author of three YA
novels "The Bird with the Broken Wing", "Resident Spy", and
"One Little Spell". She is also the creator of the apocalyptic/sci-fi
series "Welcome to the Apocalypse", and the novella series inspired
by Tales from the Crypt, "The Shivers Novellas".
A
former singer and musician, she credits this stage experience for her ease of
public speaking, conducting writing workshops, and appearing on panels. Her
books don't feature the usual tropes and this has earned her many loyal
readers.
When
she's not writing she enjoys playing music, watching Netflix, reading,
gardening, and walking the dog.
