Return

The outside world was different than they remembered. Impersonal. Harsh. But that world was the same. It was the survivors who had changed.

When the Treaty between the United States and Russia offered the opportunity for Chuck, Madison and the others to return, they seized it, this time leaving modern conveniences behind by choice.

The Community embarked on a new race to colonize a wild Alaska. They return, only months after leaving, with a completely different attitude but with the same mission. They didn’t want to simply exist, they wanted to thrive in a new world of their own making.

Back in Alaska, Chuck continues his search of survivors. What he finds will be life-changing.

When the Russians try to establish their own settlement, sparks fly, and the world is turned upside down.

Fans of military fiction like William Johnstone’s Ashes Series and John Gilstrap’s At All Costs will love the power, suspense, and deep family commitment of the End Times: Alaska series.

“Every once in awhile a book takes me by surprise, and that’s just what I got with Craig Martelle’s story… I’ve read enough post-apocalyptic fiction to know that generally stuff hits the fan and then all you can do is fight to survive or die! Well this is not that story. This is about day to day existence of a family living their life, not just living it but actually making the best of it and thriving. But don’t get me wrong it’s not boring… it’s a fascinating study of what it might take to survive a Alaskan winter off the grid… So get the book and enjoy!”

“Mr. Martelle brings the savage beauty of the Alaskan back country alive to those of us in the lower 48. He has the ability to keep the reader involved with his characters, to care about them, and hope for their success.”

Cheer for the Community as they struggle to build a new society on the ashes of the old world, with danger and trial stalking them at every turn!

About Craig

I’m retired from the Marine Corps, spending time both as enlisted and as an officer. Then I went to law school, took my law degree into business consulting where I became a business diagnostics specialist and leadership coach.

I retired from that at age 52 because I was away from home way too much. That’s when I started writing full time, and I have not looked back since.

This is a great ride! I have a variety of stories now since I’ve been at this for a little while, lots of short stories so you can see if you like my style. I have a number of best selling novels in categories that matter to me – space opera, military scifi, Space Marine, colonization, and genetic engineering.
