Shadows of the Apocalypse: The Beginning - Paperback

Jesse Gibson, a widower is returning from a fishing trip with his old high school buddies and finds himself thrust into peril as his plane goes down somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains. Those that live look to him for survival and medical attention, since he had been a medic in the military. Jesse and his new acquaintances quickly realize they were on the plane with some criminals that were being escorted by U.S. Marshals, and they also survived the crash. Cut off from the world, they have to pull together and find their way out of the woods without being killed by the criminals at large or swallowed by their environment. In the midst of trying to survive and keep others alive Jesse may have stumbled across the next love of his life, Katy West. Unaware of what is taking place in their nation while they struggle to find their way out, they soon find that the world they left is nothing like the world they return to. They have to fight to stay alive in the wilderness as the world collapses in the beginning of the apocalypse. They come face to face with evil and must muster the courage to survive, kill, or die.
