Trapped in an urban hellscape, the O'Brians come face-to-face with someone who they least expect. Meanwhile, in Oregon, the family vineyard is under increasing threats thanks to its resources and location, and the Tills must either stand their ground or risk joining those who have fled and perished in book 2 of FOLIANT.

From 4-million-copy bestselling master of thrilling fiction Mike Kraus comes a new epic tale: FOLIANT.

A nerve agent is deployed in cities across the country, and within hours tens of millions are dead—but the worst is yet to come.

Caught in the middle of the attacks in Los Angeles, the vacationing O’Brian family barely survives by the skin of their teeth—but soon find themselves trapped in the midst of a city of the dead. The only way back to their family in Oregon is to go straight through the heart of the charnel house, a prospect that is easier said than done.

Far to the north, in Oregon, the Tills family vineyard is spared the worst of the initial attacks—but the secondary effects may be their undoing as the world falls apart around them.

For those in charge of the response, the attacks are evolving too quickly to predict, and the country’s final undoing may be closer than anyone realizes as the terrible attacks have only just begun....

FOLIANT is a thrilling 6-book series that blurs the line between technothriller, post-apocalyptic thriller and all-too-real possible predictor of the future. Written by 4-million-copy bestselling author Mike Kraus and published by Muonic Press, When Hope Dies is book 2 in this epic series.
