One Year Late

The world Ethan Coleman once knew is gone—buried beneath volcanic ash, poisoned water, and the silence of abandoned cities. Every drop of clean water must be earned. Every mile traveled could be the last. Every decision carries a cost measured in lives.

When a mysterious radio broadcast speaks of a distant sanctuary known only as The Meridian, Ethan and three unlikely companions leave the fragile safety of their underground shelter to chase what may be humanity's final chance. But the journey west is filled with collapsing infrastructure, toxic landscapes, ruthless survivors, and impossible choices that test the limits of trust, sacrifice, and endurance.

As hope grows closer, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

What if survival isn't the price of admission?

One Year Late is a gritty, realistic post-apocalyptic survival thriller featuring detailed survival tactics, environmental realism, relentless tension, and unforgettable emotional stakes. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent survival fiction where every resource matters and every step forward could be the last.
