Tara Ellis's Blog: Making Progress

In a devastated society, the definitions of a hero and a villain become blurred—

After navigating an unrecognizable world, Cass and the others have reached their destination. However, instead of marking the end of their journey, it exposes an ongoing nightmare.

The ranch tucked into the Colorado mountains used to be a refuge for Cass, a place she often dreamed of while stuck on the space station, The Deliverance. Now, her father and his followers use it to further their cause, a mission Cass and her friends have committed to overthrowing.

With humankind’s extinction in the balance, what was once deemed right or wrong has shifted to a matter of survival. Faced with impossible choices, Cass must learn to trust Dev, Bug, Adam, and the rest of The Fallen—people she has come to call her family. But they have all changed, and what started as a clear vision of duty and honor will have to be redefined to secure their redemption.

Book 2: The 6th Extinction

An ancient killer has returned. This time, it will take us all.

Prometheus was more than an asteroid. It was a cosmological time capsule eons in the making, revealing that space is an even bigger mystery than could be fathomed.

As a paleo archeologist, Dallas was no stranger to ancient mysteries. But after witnessing the destruction of millions of lives, she’ll need more than determination to stop it from becoming billions. Broken, alone, and with nowhere else to turn, she teams up with an unlikely group destined to save mankind.

Kyle would never call himself a hero. As an astronomer working to keep the planet safe, he’ll forever question whether he could have somehow prevented the number of people lost. But he can still fight for his daughter and, in doing so, find a way to stop what’s been unleashed before nothing is left.

Except that in a world where power is the ultimate goal and the masses are considered expendable, human nature will prove to be the most significant obstacle they have to overcome.

Except that in a world where power is the ultimate goal and the masses are considered expendable, human nature will prove to be the most significant obstacle they have to overcome.

On the precipice of annihilation, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

With the Earth in ruins from three catastrophic impacts, surviving the fallout was only the beginning. Unleashed from its celestial vector, the Prometheus Pathogen ravages those left behind, revealing how controlling life and death is a trait that will always be a driving force. As science advances, so does the threat of wielding that power.

Caught in the fight to access a potential cure, Kyle risks everything he has left to secure a future for his daughter, but the most lethal obstacles are those he can’t see coming. When lines are blurred, the way out may not always be straightforward.

Dallas has spent a lifetime navigating the unknown, though nothing could prepare her for the role she was to assume at the end of a civilization. Thrust into the chaos with an unlikely team, surviving will come down to her ability to trust and rely on the very thing she’s always feared.

The countdown hasn’t just begun; it’s rapidly reaching the end—the end of an epoch, the end of the human era. And it might already be too late to stop it.

Dallas has committed her life to unraveling the mysteries of deep time and humanity’s ancient past. Confronted with its imminent extinction, she’s forced to rely on the relationships made in the present and draws upon her unique skillset to seek unexpected answers.

From the tundra of Alaska to the ancient caves of South Africa, a group of strangers are pulled together through a string of catastrophic events. Events that reveal how the definition of an apocalypse can be redefined and how our past may hold the key to preserving the future.

They were destined to be Earth’s salvation-

After eight years in space, the survivors of The Deliverance have returned to a world much different than the one they left. Ravaged by a novel pathogen, a nuclear war, and the following civil unrest, it’s become a barren landscape filled with ever-evolving threats.

They were there to help. That was the original mission of those tasked with finding a cure, and a moral mantra carried on by their families and colleagues. It was what kept Cass and the others from going insane while floating safely above all the destruction.

Except now, the mission has changed. Forced to flee the very people they had dreamt of finding, Cass, Dev, Bug, and Adam must work together and reach what may be their only chance of redemption: a ranch set deep in the Colorado mountains. There, Cass hopes to find her dad and a way to undo a catastrophic mistake. One that threatens everything that remains.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLYTWN5Y
