America Falls Apart Pete Thorsen

Three complete stories of apocalyptic disasters that befall the citizens of the United States by one of America's most popular apocalyptic fiction writers. Minnesota Madness A series of large earthquakes in wide spread areas proves to be just a warning for one twenty-four hour period of massive earthquakes that damages many countries around the world. This included the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the center of America. While suffering no physical damage from the many quakes Minnesota falls apart from the repercussions of the devastation. A single man makes plans for his own survival after the madness strikes. House on the Hill Lucas built the house of his dreams and was determined to stay there alone and have as little contact with other people as possible. Lucas thought troubling times were ahead and that played a big part in the house design and the location he picked for it. He just hoped if something did happen he could just stay home and ride it out, alone. Oregon Apocalypse After leaving military service a woman accepts the offer of her best friend to share an apartment with her in Portland, Oregon. After living there long enough to get mostly adjusted back into civilian life she starts thinking of leaving the area. Just then the whole west coast of America is rocked by a huge earthquake. The two young women are stuck in the middle of this catastrophe. They fight to make their way to safe ground only to find their trials are far from over.
