The MX

Centuries after mass extinction, what's left?

Exiled from her underground city, Vara is about to find out. With no weapons, no survival skills and no social skills, she'll embark on a journey across the wasteland once called America. Because there's got to be something out there. Somewhere. Maybe.

Welcome to the MX, where a good day is living to eat another powdered worm.

When convicted criminal Vara Lyr-CT-Tau steps into the desolate MX, she's the opposite of prepared. Out there are dangers she's only ever heard about and more that she hasn't. Making a friend or two might keep her safe, but she's never been good at that. Will living in a terrible place make her a better person, a monster, or something between?

If you love stories like Silo or Fallout where a strong female protagonist braves the post-apocalyptic ruins of civilization, step into The MX. Across the 4-book series that starts here, you'll join Vara as she learns the secrets of her dead world and faces its very human terrors: slavers, cults, cannibals, and more.

There is life after extinction. It just isn't pretty.
