The Great Wash Out · The Complete Trilogy
The water took the old world. John Hollie intends to build something better.
Three complete post-apocalyptic survival novels in one collection.
Civil engineer John Hollie arrives on the shores of Lake Erie looking for a place to begin again. Instead, he watches solid ground collapse and water swallow the world he knew.
As survivors retreat to higher ground, John’s knowledge of failing structures helps an unlikely group build a refuge. But the disaster is only the beginning. Evidence points to a catastrophe that was engineered—and to powerful people determined to control what rises from the wreckage.
Across three novels, John and the Big Hero Five face disappearing land, a government hiding the truth, a dangerous atmospheric installation, and a failing bridge beyond the newly returned Mississippi. Every solution carries a cost, and rebuilding will require more than engineering. It will require trust.
This complete collection includes:
-
John’s New Place — An impossible surge consumes towns and cities, forcing John and a growing band of survivors toward the mountains as they search for the truth behind the Great Wash Out.
-
John’s New World — While the survivors struggle to rebuild, John’s allies confront the machinery behind the catastrophe—and a surviving installation capable of threatening the world’s fragile recovery.
-
John’s New Frontier — A distress call draws John west of the Mississippi, where a moving bridge, two endangered communities, and a rising river create a choice no calculation can make for him.
