Chris worked hard so he could enjoy life's luxuries like—Door of Destiny. All that came crashing down when his very future becomes altered with a dire mission. Travel to another dimension and be the hero Kordon needs.

Three months have passed since Chris helped save what remained of Pine Lake. He has finally been forced to face a problem that has hounded him since he began his nomadic lifestyle in the face of this new apocalypse: He has found a place that he wants to call home, but his intense wanderlust is driving him insane.

He wants to destroy the greatest empire in the world. Powerful women want him to rule it. Does Mykah want to avenge the emperor or rule an empire? He has the power to choose, now that he has an army of horned oni and devoted commanders.

Every evening for eight years, at his request, President Obama was given 10 handpicked letters written by ordinary American citizens - the unfiltered voice of a nation - from his Office of Presidential Correspondence. He was the first president to interact daily with constituent mail and to archive it in its entirety. In To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter writers themselves, and the White House staff who sifted through the powerful, moving, and incredibly intimate narrative of America during the Obama years:

While Chris was out finding himself and answering some crucial questions about how he wants to live his life, tragedy and bad luck was striking Pine Lake repeatedly. After a series of accidents and a run of poor luck, culminating in a freak storm, Chris has returned home to learn that the place he intended to settle down is no longer capable of sustaining life in any long-term fashion. To make matters worse, Megan led a team off on a desperate expedition to follow a modern day treasure map to what they hope to be a cache of supplies locked away in a remote prepper's bunker.

With his previous situation resolved and two very attractive women now in his company, Chris takes on his next task: getting Delilah to her intended destination. Theoretically, it should be a straight shot down a long highway. Only in this new frozen wasteland of a world, nothing is ever simple. What would have been less than a two-hour drive in the old days is now possibly a two-week trek through icy hell. Vicious wildlife, dangerous men with ill intent, and brutal cold are just some of the potential threats Chris and the women will face on their long walk down the highway.

A harrowing battle on Myan Station let me with a mysterious starship and three beautiful crew members. Together, we’ve been roaming the galaxy in search of people who needed our help. It’s not much in the grand scheme of things, but it’s helping to restore some of the honor I lost after working for a mob boss for the better part of my life. After what seems a run of the mill mission, I discover that the voidtouched and the anjelica have a history. They share a dark secret, one which could lead to the destruction of not only my starship and her crew, but also the entire universe.

The long journey down the highway has come to an end, and as Chris and his girls at last find the town of Pine Lake, they discover that tragedy has struck. Raiders have burned down almost the entire town. Most of the population is dead, missing, or scattered across the region. Food reserves and medicine stocks were lost in the fire. Dangerous men and animals roam the frozen wilderness as temperatures plummet.

Chris, Hannah, and Megan braved the icy horrors of the frozen wastelands. They fought for their lives, endured brutal conditions, and managed to find exactly what they were looking for: a forgotten bunker full of precious resources. Unfortunately, the bunker was just a temporary stop-gap. The slow death of starvation still looms on the horizon for the denizens of Pine Lake. If they can't figure out some way of solving the problem, they'll lose everything.

What remains of Pine Lake is a dead end, and the best hope for Chris, the women he loves, and the denizens of the settlement now lay in a town of preppers living on an island a few hundred miles to the north. All of their faith is now being put into that settlement, and the train that Chris discovered and Fay repaired. Even with a mostly functional train and a lot of luck, it will still be a long journey.
