The world as we know it is destroyed when a regional conflict spins out of control, pulling other nations into the war. Most major population centers are vaporized in the ensuing chaos, throwing millions of tons of dirt and ash into the atmosphere to block out the sun and create a nuclear winter. A new age of lawlessness begins. The void created by the destruction of our central government is filled by local warlords who struggle against each other to provide resources for their people. These clashes threaten to destroy the last vestiges of humanity as the basic needs of food, water and shelter take precedence over everything else. From the ruins of the irradiated wastes emerge the bloodthirsty scavengers and a dangerous new breed of creature known as the Changed, who are intent on the annihilation of the human race. A small group of survivors from Illinois attempts to escape further south away from the deepening cold and increasing anarchy. Along the way, they discover that the true monsters are not the mutants of the wastes; instead the enemy that they must fear the most is their fellow man.

Review "Enduring Armageddon is a taut post-apocalyptic thriller, a seamless blend of dystopian, horror, and adventure genres with well drawn characters and gritty action scenes." ~ Sean T. Smith, author of the WRATH trilogy and SUNSHINE PATRIOTS "Enduring Armageddon is an action-packed, post-apocalyptic thriller that keeps you engaged from start to finish." ~ Paul Hetzer, author of THE ZOMBIE VIRUS and CHILDREN OF... THE DAMNED "Enduring Armageddon is a story that I'm very, very happy to say--puts the human into the apocalypse." ~ S.P. Durnin, author of KEEP YOUR CROWBAR HANDY "A gripping, immersive tale of life after nuclear war." ~ Stephen A. North, author of DEAD TIDE and BENEATH THE MASK
From the Inside Flap This book ranks as one of the best post-apocalyptic zombie-apocalypse thrillers I've read since The Five, and it is a compelling read with all manner of twist, turns, and horrors to capture your attention, making you lose sleep and ignore the outside world to find out what happens next to the characters that you've become attached to. A very solid book for an emerging talent, and is a fresh take on the genre. This should rank up there with World War Z book, and if you are interested in the genre of Zombie Apocalypse or post-nuclear apocalypse or just a good thriller, you need to read Enduring Armageddon. ~ Future War Stories (futurewarstories.blogspot.com)

By Carrie Bartkowiak I am a devourer of dystopian and post-apoc novels, and I have to say this one is different. That's a good thing. It doesn't feel like you're reading the same novel over again, written by a different author.Mr. Parker takes an unprepared, typical current-day couple and throws them into the chaos that is a post-nuclear war. Chuck, the husband, has seen some of the horrors already, while his wife Becca has been sheltered from them, safe in their apartment. After seeing what radiation can do to a human being (Mr. Parker takes the route that an extreme, but non-lethal dose of radiation will drive a person mad), Chuck knows that it's time to get out of the city. Even while they're traveling on bikes across the country, Becca is still light-hearted and looking forward to finding a private room with a soft bed somewhere, while Chuck is constantly looking over his shoulder for muggists, ambushes, and radiation "zombies".They do find a town, and this is where the story really takes off and differentiates itself.We don't have a superhero, ex-military, totally prepared protagonist who knows just the right thing to do at the right time and can get it done with a paper clip and half a piece of gum. Chuck's a bean-counter with a healthy dose of common sense, but not so much in the way of a spine. He knows he and Becca should keep traveling south so they can survive the coming winter. He knows that scavenged cans of food will eventually run out and the only way to survive is to get somewhere that they can start a garden. But Becca is still stuck in the normalcy bias that everything is basically okay, people are still basically okay, and the only real change is that the power isn't on and faucets don't work. She wants to stay in the town because it seems to be practically Mayberry, while Chuck's gut feeling is raging at him to keep moving. He gives in to her wishes, just wanting to keep his wife as happy and innocent as possible in this horrible existence, even when he knows he shouldn't.What follows is almost heart-breaking. We watch the Chuck's transition from a decent man to something he never imagined himself becoming - the type of man that all preppers fear WTSHTF. He's sort-of tricked into it, but even once he realizes what he's doing, he doesn't put his foot down and stop. He tries to justify it. He tries to tell himself that it's necessary for his and Becca's survival. He hates what he is becoming, he hides it from his wife, and he tries to prepare for the day when he'll be able to escape the vicious group he's become part of - but again, his spine isn't strong enough yet, and he stays far too long.Is he weak? Uber-alpha males would see him as so, but in reality he's just an average guy with a pretty wife he wants to protect and keep safe, and the whole post-nuclear world drops him into a life where he's way over his head. He *is* everyman - one of the "golden horde" that will either become prey from weakness or predator from necessity. It's both interesting - in a train wreck kind of way - and heartbreaking to watch his slide into predator.As for the typical environmental fodder of a post-nuclear world, the book has it: raiders, ambush teams, gangs and whatnot. Parker mixes it up by tossing in slavers, "intelligent" (and even "evolved") zombies, and mutant radiation-affected animals.There is one near-rape scene depicted, and a few descriptions of off-scene rape occurrences (they don't go into detail), so be warned if that's a trigger for you.A good story with real character growth and a satisfying ending, presenting some new ideas for the post-apoc genre. You won't regret this purchase.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Riveting and engaging By Andrea Goergen Enduring Armageddon takes a more personal view of a post-nuclear war situation than GNASH, Brian Parker's first novel. I was a huge fan of GNASH, and must say that I found Enduring Armageddon even more engaging. The plot centers on a couple's struggle to cope and survive in a new world after a devastating nuclear attack on the United States. This new world is filled with murderous creatures, horrible people, and unimaginable hurdles. Once again, the author's in-depth understanding of military operations is obvious and enhances the story. Though grittier than GNASH, Enduring Armageddon perfectly evokes an emotional connection to the characters as they find unlikely allies and encounter very realistic scenarios involving very difficult decisions. The humanity of this book shines through. Great read! I highly recommend it!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Interesting Trip By Kindle Customer This post nuclear armageddon tale has some definite quirks to it and often goes in unexpected directions. We have survivors from Chicago making their way out of the city and headed south when events overtake them. This story really explores the idea of situational ethics and takes a look at how events can free the dark side of human nature. All is not lost, though, and we meet some truly good people along the way. The author leaves the story open for a sequel and I would be glad to read it. Warning-not for readers with a weak stomach.
