The Perseid Collapse series is the hugely successful four novel series by acclaimed author Steven Konkoly. The series is set in 2019 Maine following a devastating attack on the United States in the form of an electromagnetic pulse bomb. The United States is plunged into darkness as an EMP destroys the power grid. The attack also coincides with the annual Perseid meteor shower which produces an asteroid that splinters into meteorites. One of these meteorites creates a massive tsunami which engulfs the eastern seaboard from Maine to Virginia.
The devastating sequence of events creates a post collapse world seen through the eyes of the survivors, both good and bad. Due to the great success of The Perseid Collapse Series, Steve was contacted by amazon to create a new project within their highly successful Kindle World program. The result is the highly anticipated Perseid Collapse World.
We interviewed Steve who told us about this unprecedented collaboration of authors for Amazon:
Kindle Worlds is essentially fan-fiction—with a far better twist. Contributing authors have been authorized to use elements (characters, settings, plots, names) from the original stories, and they earn royalties on the stories they write. The Kindle Worlds Store contains several hundred stories, written by authors, readers and fans of hit books, TV series and comics, like Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines.
On February 3rd, 2015, Kindle Worlds will launch The Perseid Collapse Series World based on my hit post-apocalyptic books. As a reader, we hope you’ll take the opportunity to continue The Perseid Collapse journey with several talented authors.
As a contributor to Kindle Worlds, Steve (The Wayward Pines Collection and Atlantis: The Origin Mystery), is keenly aware of the immense satisfaction experienced by taking another author’s world and “running with it.” It’s intensely rewarding on a number of levels, and we are thrilled to introduce the Perseid Collapse Series to our readers.
Post-apocalyptic survival fiction inspires exploration, posing the question “what would you do?” We believe this single question drives the popularity of the genre. From the zombie apocalypse to a solar flare shutting down the electrical grid, we have a fascination with end of the world scenarios—and it has everything to with our own personal survival instinct. Further, prepper fiction is an excellent tool to bring the non-prepper into the fold. The goal is to place yourself into the shoes of the characters and ask "What would I do?"
As of now, Steven has assembled some of the top post apocalyptic authors in the world and has created a level of excitement on social media for the launch that is astonishing. For updates and more information, visit www.FreedomPreppers.com.
In the meantime, please enjoy this video trailer created by Freedom Preppers Studios for The Perseid Collapse World.
First, let me introduce our contribution which immediately vaulted into the Top Ten of the Mystery, Suspense and Thriller category for Amazon Kindle and has held there since February 3.

EVIL, MEET OPPORTUNITY
"The year is 2019 and America has been attacked. Night became day and became night again as an inexplicable phenomena strikes the heartland. Some will use the darkness to shed light on new opportunities — with a nefarious purpose. Eli Russell and his Maine Liberty Militia intend to survive, and thrive, but at whose expense.
This is Eli Russell’s story. There are no good guys in Eli’s story, only bad people who take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves in a world without rule of law. Refugees and preppers alike beware:
You can’t spell E – V – I – L without E – L – I."
Here is a list of the authors who have released their books into The Perseid Collapse World so far:

A. R. Shaw
Author of The Graham's Resolution Series
DECEPTION ON DURHAM ROAD
“Jamie McDaniels already lost one husband to the tragedy of the Jakarta pandemic six years ago; leaving her a widow with two daughters. She’d remarried to fill the void Matt’s death left in their lives. Unfortunately, Jeff Michaud bore no resemblance to Matt’s good character, to the point where he even abused her and the her daughters. Realizing her mistake too late, Jamie sees an opportunity to rid herself of him when tragedy strikes her neighborhood once again.
When Alex Fletcher sees her ploy to gain information about his plans, he knows Jeff has put her up to no good. She tries to hint in her response, but Alex isn’t cunning enough to see her attempt to gain his trust. In the end, he does her a favor by eliminating the mistake she regrets the most. With this second chance in life, even when the world is at its worst, Jamie returns the favor and stands her ground, never again to fill a void where her sovereign heart now lies.”
G. Michael Hopf
Throat Punch Fiction
DETACHMENT
G. Michael Hopf is a combat veteran of the first Gulf War, having thrived and survived as a Marine infantryman. We can’t think of anyone better suited to expand on the story of Lieutenant Colonel Grady’s Marines from Book One of The Perseid Collapse Series. We have a lot to look forward to in his story, as he leads a tight knit team of “Jarheads” from one coast to the next in search of a safe haven from The Perseid Collapse. Detachment will be launched into the Perseid Collapse World later this month.

Alex brings an international perspective to The Perseid Collapse Series World.

Richard’s New America series took Amazon readers by storm, pitting the U.S. against a Jihadist army hell bent on destroying America. Bringing the same zeal to The Perseid Collapse World, Richard explores the prison “liberated” by Eli Russell’s militia, and the chaos that ensues.
