Meet John Reinier
Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired the Tales From the Apocalypse series?
The inspiration for the series stems from a fascination with humanity’s resilience and moral dilemmas during catastrophic events. John’s experiences and years of storytelling converge to create a vivid depiction of survival and the human condition.
The Tales From the Apocalypse series didn’t start off as a book series, but that’s a longer story, for another time.
Are the Tales From the Apocalypse books interconnected?
Yes, more than you might think. Each book stands alone and can be read in any order, but they all take place at the same time, in the same world, and each one influences the others. The POV characters share a common world and often cross paths, or come close to it.
Read one and you’ll get a complete story. Read them all and you’ll start to see how they fit together, telling the bigger story.

Do I need to read them in a certain order?
Short answer. No.
Long answer: The four books currently in the Tales From the Apocalypse series all take place at the same time. You can read them in any order and each book will have a complete and full story arc.
Is this a series or four standalone books?
The four books, listed below, all take place at the same time, and they interact with each other in various ways. So you can read any one of them as a standalone book, but it’s best if you read them all, because there is one big secret story that each of them hold pieces to, like a puzzle.
1. The Fallen Father
2. The Forgotten Road
3. The Shattered Tribe
4. The Final Reckoning
What genre are these books?
All the books fit neatly into Post-Apocalypse, and they are all dark tales, but beyond that, they all differ.
The Fallen Father – Psychological Horror
The Forgotten Road – Action Adventure
The Shattered Tribe – A Tribal Spiritual Adventure
The Final Reckoning – 3 POV’s
Alex’s POV – A love story about sacrifice, guts and determination
Logan’s POV – A Military leader preparing for the final battle while trying to solve a murder mystery
Diamond’s POV – A young woman whose Ghost skills can save the world in an Epic Adventure
