About this story

Find Book 1 of HTS on Amazon for both Kindle and Kindle Unlimited! Book 2 of HTS is now also on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited! -- When an accident kicks Sean Lawrence forward in time, he finds himself square in the apocalyptic end-times. The world is doomed, and he only has a mysterious guidebook, a leather jacket, and a home-made knife to keep him company. He could spend his days grinding low-level mobs, gathering rat pelts, and waiting for a chance to escape. Or he could rise up, slay dragons, and fight against the odds. Faced with a choice between the dead-end life he’s been living and a possibility of greatness, Sean has to decide if he’s willing to risk his life and more for a chance to save Earth itself.
