Standardized testing is so much worse in the apocalypse.

Caleb Hanson assumed the most exciting part of his field trip scouting in Northern Minnesota would be a rare bird sighting. Instead, he was abducted by hive-minded hexapods and forced to be their children's teacher. Not the worst way to ride out the end of the world.

Two years later, the apocalypse has finally come for Caleb. His savior-captors are murdered, leaving him as the last line of defense for the alien kids he's grown to know and love. Now, he'll have to bend his values or watch his students die. All while dealing with untrustworthy allies, ravenous monsters, honorable bounty hunters, and worst of all—xenophobic militants.

Between idealism and practicality lies hope for the future. If he can find the strength to pass this final test.

This series contains level-ups, experience, a snarky AI shield-bot companion, monsters (both human and otherwise), and a larger-than-life cast of characters.
