In Karst Valley, the Collapse is just the beginning. Jimmy Wood moved to Karst Valley, Indiana for the quiet life he had always craved. He was raising his family, dealing with everyday problems, and working a mundane job for a boss he hated. Far-off internet rumors began to swirl as government officials promised nothing was wrong. Suddenly, an unexplained fever. Masses of people wandering aimlessly in the streets. Friends and foes alike becoming uncontrollably aggressive. But when roads and stores begin to close with little warning, the opportunity to prepare is erased. As the world begins crumbling around him, Zack Wolf, an old friend with a classified background, shows up at his door unannounced. Together, they try to survive from enemies on all fronts. The sick, known to Zack and Jimmy as lurkers, are only a small part of the battle that they must fight. Hunting, scavenging, and protecting their family keeps them occupied until a stranger shows up while they are gone. That sets off a chain of events that reveals a conspiracy no one suspected. Survival in a collapsed world is hard enough. Lurkers don't make it easier. Now they embark on a pursuit to uncover information that would have left the community in shock.  With no community left, they must make a choice:  Do what's right or keep their heads down and just survive?As they gather the intel, they are left with one question: What happens when those you are supposed to trust become the ones you fear the most?

In Karst Valley, Tribulation reveals who you are.Jimmy Wood and Zack Wolf continue to fight to recover after injuries that left both men nearly broken.  In the search for a new home, they encounter new dangers.  Leadership is strained and survival is compromised around every corner as their new community emerges.  New friends prove their worth while old enemies linger in the shadows.  Lurker populations grow.  Humans become desperate.  Supplies grow scarce. When betrayal from within forces Jimmy and Zack to stare evil in the face, they escape with little more than their lives. Uncomfortable truths surface, questionable alliances form, and difficult decisions lead to consequences no one saw coming. When society collapses, one question rises above the rest… Are you content to simply survive…or will you risk everything to stand for what's right?
