We are the unhinged.
History is in pieces. A time-traveling celestial being has interfered in the natural order, resulting in a series of butterfly effects that have reset the world as we know it. In Manhattan, the Twin Towers stand. Russia has collapsed and China is the dominant world superpower as America draws further into itself.
In New York, a suicidal immortal named Harper Whitaker finds every attempt to end her existence futile. But when the supreme realm of Atlas comes calling after the release of a deadly plague, Harper is forced into reversing the paradox. Assigned to murder seven reincarnated individuals, she must navigate an unrecognizable America to accomplish that goal.
As the remnants of humanity turn to tribalism, murder and ransacking, the lone immortal's list of assassination targets comes with a caveat ? not all of them deserve to die, and some may be instrumental in rescuing humanity's soul from the carcass Earth has become.
Can Harper put the greater good before her death wish? And even if she can, what will be left for her afterward? Epic science fiction meets post-apocalypse in the second volume of the Book of Death. Get your copy today!

Klappentext
The year is 2018. Twenty-three years ago, a catastrophic abuse of power resulted in a space-time rift known as the Breach, suddenly and violently altering the course of modern human history. In Manhattan, the Twin Towers stand; a black man has never been President of the United States, and a deadly plague escapes the CDC on Mother's Day. It spreads quickly, leaving corpses in the street of every metropolitan area on Earth, pitting one ideology of survival against another within an unrecognizable version of America.
As the battle between good and evil heats up among the living, one suicidal immortal finds herself conscripted to kill seven individuals, whose previous deaths were undone by the Breach, or risk its becoming permanent, and forever being left alone to wander the wasteland Earth has become.
The second volume in THE BOOK OF DEATH series, UNDERWORLD EARTH is an adventure through a post-apocalyptic world ; a Western fantasy for the modern age.
Time travel has never been so merciless.
