One year ago, the world as we knew it ended.
The Kessler Effect turned the skies into a deadly graveyard, sending all lower orbital satellites crashing back to Earth. Now, the once-vibrant town of Alpine is a shadow of its former self, its people hardened by survival in a world where technology has collapsed and trust is a rare commodity.
Tanda Lopez has watched her community grow leaner, tougher, and smarter—but as two mysterious groups approach Alpine, she faces an impossible choice. Are these newcomers allies, offering a chance at rebuilding a fractured society, or are they predators, ready to take whatever they can by force?
In a world where nothing is certain, how do you decide who the good guys are? And when survival is on the line, who can you really trust?
Veil of Hope is a gripping tale of resilience and moral ambiguity in a post-apocalyptic landscape where every decision could mean life or death.
Kessler Effect Series
The people of Alpine, Texas are thrown into an apocalyptic world on the 6th of June. First communications stop working, then GPS, internet, electricity, and water. They don’t know what has caused the disruption, how long it will last, or how far it extends. Soon they will learn that in 1978 Donald J. Kessler predicted the very disaster they are living through. The Kessler Effect refers to a cataclysmic collision of lower orbit satellites, and for the people of Alpine that means their lives just changed—forever. The Kessler Effect series is a fresh addition to the genre of apocalyptic/disaster fiction.
