"Highly-recommended for lovers of dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction and those who enjoy a sizzling contemporary romance with an edge." -Troy Hollan, author of Clucked

Robin dreamed of attending Yale and using her brain. Kory lived on the streets of Seattle and relied on his brawn. Without the asteroid, they never would have met.

For three years, Robin and her grandfather have been hiding, trusting no one. When a biker gang moves into town, Robin can no longer scrounge or tend her garden. Because her grandfather is dying, he urges her to join her extended family-800 miles away in a bunker city in South Dakota, but she doesn't want to leave.

Desperate, her grandfather disappears to force Robin into action and meets Kory, who's with the bikers but disillusioned. Seeing a man who likes to read and could protect his granddaughter, he convinces Kory he can start over and accompany Robin on the long journey.

Unaware of her grandfather's plan, Robin exposes her hiding place searching for him, and Kory saves her. On the run, they battle the elements and survivalists, learning to trust each other. If they can't reach the safety of Vita xTerra, they won't survive long enough to have a future together.

Prepare for another non-stop, post-apocalyptic road trip in Aftermath: Into the Unknown as they fight for love and survival.

"Aftermath is more than a story of survival; it's a tale of love, and the will to find meaning in a world where everything seems lost. Gibson has crafted a page-turner in the post-apocalyptic genre, with characters that linger in your mind long after it is finished." -American Writing Awards

"Readers of Lena Gibson's apocalyptic novel The Edge of Life are in for a treat with its sequel, Aftermath: Into the Unknown. It delves into a vastly changed world after a planet-killing asteroid fractures Earth." -Midwest Book Review

"Aftermath: Into the Unknown, by Lena Gibson, exceeded my expectations. With its vivid world-building, strong characters, and an unpredictable, well-written plot, it delivers an engaging and satisfying read." -Literary Titan

"Highly-recommended for lovers of dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction and those who enjoy a sizzling contemporary romance with an edge." -Troy Hollan, author of Clucked

"Compelling, riveting, and ultimately a testimony to the power of belief in something better, Aftermath is Gibson's best to date." -Karen K. Brees, author of The WWII Adventures of MI6 Agent Katrin Nissen

"Aftermath further shows that Lena Gibson is one of the current masters of the dystopian YA novel, able to create thrilling drama while also building empathetic characters who will live long in the memories of her readers." -IndieReader 4.5 star review

"Most current post-apocalyptic novels are dark and depressing. The protagonist(s) meet nothing but danger and death as they travel the devastated landscape. Ms. Gibson chooses something closer to reality, and her world is equally populated with evildoers and the sort of good folk we humans are inclined to be as a rule when disaster strikes."-Reader Views

"Yes, it's the end of the world as we know it. Aftermath: Into the Unknown is a definite recommendation." -Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
