Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME focuses on life after the apocalypse.

Adrian Langenscheid erzählt in seinem zweiten Buch "TRUE CRIME USA" aufs Neue von echten Straftaten aus der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft.

I then grabbed my binoculars and began looking around to make sure the coast was clear. I noticed one of the unmarked vehicles had two assault rifles sticking out of the back window, so I identified myself. I said, "My name is Detective Yates from the 14th precinct. Lay your weapons on the ground."
