About this ebook

Clouds Before Rain is the exciting prequel to The Best Dark Rain. This gripping novella sets the stage for an epic post-apocalyptic adventure. The world is dying a swift death, and the city of Seattle is dying along with it. Panicked citizens flee the wave of death, only to die on the clogged  highways. Those unable to flee remain trapped in the city. A handful of survivors remain amongst the deadly ruins. The feeble threads of society unravel as armed bands begin roaming the empty streets.

Not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands are not the only perils. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the tenuous refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O'Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.

Here on these dead streets a woman and a man must learn to fight. They bear weapons scavenged from the dead. Each of them carries the shadow of a past that could threaten their future. Bands of survivors coalesce around them, some murderous, some unlikely allies. Amidst the threat of hunters, and the dangers of trusting, Liz and Pat must battle for their lives. The stakes are high. They must protect their new-found love as well as their lives. To lose either means to face alone this horrific world.

Follow the opening chapters of the horrific adventure in Clouds Before Rain. The vivid tale continues in the full-length novel The Best Dark Rain: A Post-Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love. Order your copy today!

Author

Marco Etheridge

Marco Etheridge is an eccentric world traveler and writer living in Vienna, Austria. He is the author of the exciting and well-reviewed novel "The Best Dark Rain: A Post Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love." Marco's second novel, "Blood Rust Chains," has just been released. Marco's third novel, a political satire thriller, is complete and awaiting publication. He is hard at work on other projects, including a fourth novel, a three-act play, and a children's book. Marco's novels lead the reader on intricate literary journeys through different genres. With attention to detail and thoughtful prose, Marco builds immersive worlds crafted to house distinct and diverse characters. Always character and dialogue driven, Marco's novels captivate the readers with dark charm and unforeseen plot hooks. Though born in the USA, Marco considers himself a citizen of the world. Love carried him across the Atlantic Ocean to Vienna, Austria; and love holds him there. The long and winding pathway that has led to writing novels is one of varied experience. Marco has been a soldier, a commercial fisherman, a wanderer, and a jack-of-all-trades. His feet have happily trod the soil of over thirty countries spread over four continents and the odd sub-continent. The world is his playground and his fellow citizens are his playmates. Marco's antidote for everything is to throw some gear in his faithful Deuter backpack and disappear. An avid traveler and a complete street-food junkie, there is nothing he won't try. Munching wok-roasted spiders in Cambodia? Absolutely. How about a four-course meal in Bangkok’s Chinatown, with each course from a different street stall? He is there!
