Eric A. Shelman was born in Fort Worth, Texas, so he's not sure how much more American someone can be. He grew up in the '60s, with memories of community parades, men and women on horseback carrying flags of his home state of Texas and the United States, and all the riders proudly wearing red, white, and blue. Patriotic music played in the background while onlookers ate hot dogs and cotton candy cheering on the participants.

Austin Branch, the namesake of the prison's founder and trained tracker, pursues the killer, but soon discovers an impossible phenomenon that will make his pursuit of Prichard more difficult—and far more dangerous. And it's not just the killer he has to worry about anymore. What he discovers is far more devastating to the entire world.

In present day, in the peaceful seaside village of Laguna Beach California, the witches rise yet again.

In order to release a reading of the Declaration of Independence in audiobook format, the original founding document written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 and adopted by the second Continental Congress, it was necessary to also create a short book to go along with it.

Three terrifying viruses threatened the world. Race wars devolved into bloody civil wars. Just when man was about to exterminate himself, the asteroid Wormwood appeared and nearly finished the job. Rather than suffer a slow death, mankind pooled their resources and fought back to save the planet, and themselves. Once the dust settled, a new plague appeared. One that brought back old tensions and pitted brother against brother as people began to change. Old tensions arose as those afflicted were targeted by the fearful.

At a time when mankind should have been reaching for the future, life devolved into a nearly apocalyptic present, pitting neighbor against neighbor and nation against nation as three different viruses ravaged the population. Civil wars reduced the world population even more. Then came the asteroid Wormwood, and everything changed. Man did what nobody expected...they pulled together and worked to save the planet and themselves. Years after the space rock did its damage, people began to change. Old tensions were brought back as those afflicted were targeted by the fearful.

The 21st century brought more plagues to mankind than any other time in history. Some were manufactured by man, others were acts of God. Even Mother Nature herself turned against the infestation known as man. Nearly 30 percent of the population was killed by new virus strains. Racial tensions flared and evolved into two civil wars.

Now safely gathered in Lebanon, Kansas, our survivors work with Micky Rode and the Nacogdoche Indian Tribe to train refugees of the apocalypse to become true warriors. To find Climbing Fox Wattana, they must cross a countryside teeming with flesh-craving skinwalkers. The skinwalkers have drawn together to form massive hordes - some wandering on their own; others amassed by Qaletaqa, an ancient Chief of the Hintoka Tribe who possesses near immortality.

The camera has a dark past. The evil that seeped into its mechanisms manifests itself in ways only Jack Hunger and Wayne Olsen can understand.
