What Does It Mean to Awaken in a Broken World?
The Knight Shamans are more than mystics in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Their journey begins with a question: what happens when people awaken to themselves, to the spirit world, and to the responsibilities of rebuilding society?
In The Apocrypha of the Knight Shamans, awakening is never a single moment. It is a process—a difficult movement from inherited assumptions toward a deeper understanding of self, community, and the unseen forces shaping both.
The world of the series has already been shattered by earthquakes, political conflict, social collapse, and forgotten dangers. Yet the books are not only about surviving catastrophe. They ask what survivors do next. When roads, institutions, and familiar rules disappear, people must decide which parts of the old world deserve to be restored and which should be left behind.
The inner awakening
A Knight Shaman must first awaken the spirit society has buried beneath programming, fear, and cultural expectations. That awakening is personal, but it is never merely private. Rodney’s ability to see the spirits of the dead, Peter’s emerging shamanic talent, and Justin Earl Knight’s struggles with his own demons all reveal different paths toward self-knowledge.These characters do not receive simple answers. Their gifts come with obligations. To see more clearly is also to carry more responsibility. A shaman must confront the Other Worlds, interpret what is found there, and determine how spiritual knowledge can guide living people without becoming another form of control.
Demons to banish. Fallen Angels unmasked. Pantheons falling where others are rising. Enemies become lovers and Lovers become enemies.
This three-book omnibus is in hardcover and costs less than the three separate paperback versions.

This is it! The last day of the 5-days
FREE!!! FREE!!! FREE!!!
sale of the First Knight Shaman! This is the first book in the Founder's Age of the World of Paradigm Lost by R. Roderick Rowe.
With the upcoming release of the final novel in the installment, you will want to get in on the ground floor of this new EPIC experience!
What's being said about the upcoming novel,
The Third Book of the Knight Shamans?
"This story would most likely appeal to an adult 30+ audience with some college level education, who appreciate literary and speculative fiction. The ideal reader enjoys complex, character-driven narratives with deep philosophical and social focus. The significant LGBTQ+ representation and themes of religious trauma and spiritual exploration would make it particularly resonant with LGBTQ+ readers and those who support them.
It is for a reader who enjoys Frank Herbert's Dune and the moral ambiguity of Octavia Butler's work, rather than the typical post-apocalyptic survival thriller.
Similar books:
1. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.
2. The Stand by Stephen King.
3. The Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr.

I made some time to watch #GreenlandMovie this last week. I had missed it when it came out. I'm usually a fan of apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction and this movie definitely fits the bill. A comet flys by the Earth and part of it of various sizes start impacting the Earth. Chaos ensues.
It definitely has a lot of tension and suspense. Cast is really good. #GerardButler #MorenaBaccarin I've gotten to enjoy #ScottGlenn lately as the old curmudgen and he does it here faithfully.
I think I expected a little more from it though I'm not sure what. But... I hear there is a sequel planned. It will poke my post-apocalyptic button, so I'm sure I'll see it when it comes out.
Did you see it? What did you think?

Peter Heller's #PostApocalypticFiction novel is a bit like "Earth Abides" from George R. Stewart, only with a plane. The plane reminded me of Mitchell Hashimoto (who is licensed private pilot since 2000) from #HashiCorp flying through California in a Cesna. Nice weekend reading.

I've been editing my story, Howls & Hope, and I finally got to a chapter where I'm making major changes. I'm adding in a party scene where everyone is having a good time. In the next chapter, a whole lot of people are going to die, and I think this addition will make their deaths more poignant. #mywriting #mybook #amediting #writingcommunity #writersofmastodon #mastowriters #postapocalypticfiction

2023 #ShortFiction catchup: This one by @drfionamoore went in unanticipated directions. The billionaire met his deserved fate; I'd have recommended it for that alone.

@reginasbread I saw some takes on this trope recently.

@jannem @schock I am reading this piece of post-apocalyptic fiction right now. Even this gentle depiction – some would say "dull" – requires a little suspension of disbelief when it comes to infrastructure and maintenance of equipment.

11 - Does your MC laugh or cry more in the story?
Virginia doesn't cry a lot. She's quite stoic. Everyone she knows has died. She's suffering from migraines and nosebleeds. She's convinced that she's next. That thought is overwhelming.
The End We Saw is about found family, finding inner strength, and as the story unfolds, Virginia eventually finds reasons to laugh again.

Firstly, if you haven't read it, and you have any love of #PostApocalypticFIction, or #scifi, please get yourself a copy of the Wool Omnibus by #HughHowey and read it. Reading is hard for me. Wool is one of the first book sets I've re-read more than once. And I have definitely read the entire Silo series since. #books

Came across this #review of my #monograph "The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel" (Bloomsbury) in the SFRA Review and it's made my day!
Thanks to Nathaniel Doherty for engaging with my work so thoughtfully.

OK, my economist professor, his lawyer wife, daughter and son are holed up in a mountain cabin while the world disintegrates around them. What should happen next?

Another wow book, gleaned from the list of indigenous sci-fi/fantasy I posted a few days ago. The author here is an Australian Aboriginal woman.
