"Jason Gurley will be a household name one day." - Hugh Howey, New
York Times bestselling author of Wool A new father on a
forever-long journey in the wrong direction. The last stowaway at
the end of the world. A woman who witnesses mankind's last day. A

reluctant widower who leaves his home to become an astronaut. A boy
who turns into a wolf as civilization crumbles around him. Deep
Breath Hold Tight is a collection of powerful short stories about

He remembers video games. His mother's cooking. His father's
awkward sense of humor. He remembers air conditioning and warm beds
and graduation. But all of that was before the end of the world.
Now he is a survivor, one of them - part of a roving clan of
killers that combs through the ruined neighborhoods and towns,
looking for things to steal, men to butcher, women to enslave and
abuse. Then he meets a woman who could kill him without blinking,
and together they escape the world that was...
(The Dark Age is a short story.) On the day she was born, he left
for the stars. He watches her grow up on screens. Misses her first
words. Misses her first steps. She's never kissed his scratchy
cheek, or fallen asleep on his shoulder. He's never wiped away her
tears, or sung her to sleep. Now she's a toddler, and he's about to
enter hibernation sleep -- and when he wakes nearly 150 years in
the future, his family will be gone. This is a short story for
every father who never wants his daughter to grow up.
Book 1 of The Movement Trilogy Earth is on the brink of ruin. Great
storms destroy cities. Rising seas reshape the continents. Afraid
for its survival, mankind constructs a fleet of space stations in
orbit, and steps off-world. Among the humans fighting for their
future are Micah Sparrow, a widower who uncovers a plot to return
mankind to the dark ages; Tasneem Kyoh, who undergoes
life-extension treatments and begins the search for humanity's next
home; and David Dewbury, a prodigy who believes he knows where that
home might be. But in space, the rules aren't the only things that
have changed. Man himself has changed, and with the Earth in
tatters behind him, man turns his attention to the one thing left
to destroy: himself. The Settlers is the explosive first book in
Jason Gurley's Movement Trilogy, the epic story of man's small step
into space, and the great leaps humanity must make to save its own
future.
Book 2 of The Movement Trilogy Earth has become an artifact of
history. Children are no longer taught that it is the birthplace of
mankind. For them, history begins with the Citadel, the enormous
institution that governs the system with a heavy, vicious fist.
Three hundred years have passed since the events of Book 1. The
Machine class, oppressed and broken, has scattered throughout the
system, building outposts and colonies on every surface they can
find. They rely upon the Onyx class, the privileged ones, for
sustenance. But the most brutal attack in human history relights
the fuse of war between the two classes, and rebellions break out
on every moon, planet and rock between Earth and the stars. And
somewhere in the chaos, Tasneem Kyoh and David Dewbury still fight
for mankind's future... a new Earth, and a new beginning. The
Colonists, the second title in Jason Gurley's Movement Trilogy,
continues the epic story of humanity's greatest struggle, and its
desperate battle with its most powerful enemy: itself.
