One Is None - Paperback

by Mark Nihlean (Author)

"Two is one and one is none."

That wisdom had guided Doug as he prepped the family bunker. If only he had thought more about all that it implied.

When the long-awaited apocalypse finally arrives, billions of people are lost and the world is reduced to a lifeless desert. But Doug celebrates. He and his family have survived. That's all that matters.

Yet, the bunker he worked so hard to build can no longer protect them. First divided by their choice to leave, an epic storm splits his family even more. On their increasingly fractured odysseys, each of them must navigate around all those who remain: paranoid survivalists, self-annihilation cults, skull-faced militias, and worse.

Doug had been certain the world could only get better once it was destroyed. What he had not prepared for, however, were people just like him.

An ironic twist on post-apocalyptic fiction, ONE IS NONE refutes the short-sighted obsession with doomsday prepping-a brutal cautionary tale exposing the selfish loneliness at the heart of end-of-the-world fantasies.
