The End: Book One in the New World Series

And so it begins … The End is book one of the acclaimed New World Series by former combat Marine veteran Geoff Hopf. Drawing on all of his experiences in the Marines and as an executive protection agent, he provides the reader a realistic account of life in a post-apocalyptic America.

Geoff undertook extensive research into the development and potential use of a Super-EMP weapon, generating an electromagnetic pulse that would throw our society back into the nineteenth century. Following an attack utilizing this electromagnetic pulse weapon across the globe, we follow the story of Gordon Van Zandt, former youthful, idealistic Marine who is now a family man faced with the burden of protecting his family against a myriad of threats, including his own neighbors!

As society collapses around him, Gordon faces difficult challenges and choices that will impact whether his family can survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Drawing upon the survival skills he learned in Iraq and the mental preparedness he achieved through his military career, Gordon navigates the many threats he faces in order to survive the new reality which is the end of the world as he knows it.

The End has received rave reviews and is just the first book in the New World Series. Trust me, you will want to purchase the next two installments, The Long Road and Sanctuary, and read them in succession. I guarantee that you will be circling May 26, 2015 for the release of The Line of Departure!
