Critical Mass

A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

2025

On the precipice of annihilation, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. With the Earth in ruins from three catastrophic impacts, surviving the fallout was only the beginning. Unleashed from its celestial vector, the Prometheus Pathogen ravages those left behind, revealing how controlling life and death is a trait that will always be a driving force. As science advances, so does the threat of wielding that power. Caught in the fight to access a potential cure, Kyle risks everything he has left to secure a future for his daughter, but the most lethal obstacles are those he can’t see coming. When lines are blurred, the way out may not always be straightforward. Dallas has spent a lifetime navigating the unknown, though nothing could prepare her for the role she was to assume at the end of a civilization. Thrust into the chaos with an unlikely team, surviving will come down to her ability to trust and rely on the very thing she’s always feared. The countdown hasn’t just begun; it’s rapidly reaching the end—the end of an epoch, the end of the human era. And it might already be too late to stop it. The final installment of the 6TH EXTINCTION Post-Apocalyptic series from Tara Ellis! This series explores every facet of global disasters and how far people will go to survive. It's perfect for fans of Kyla Stone, Bobby Akart, Jack Hunt, and Ryan Schow. Get it now!

***NOTE: All SIX books in After the Crash are available. Read the whole series now!!!*** I'll jump right into why I'm here: I LOVE to read. I was one of those kids that was never without a book. Or two...or three. If I had a spare minute, whether in class or on the bus or late at night when I should have been asleep; I was reading. I also always wanted to be a writer. I wrote my first short story when I was eight on an old typewriter, with lots of whiteout (the kind you had to hold in front of the key and re-type to make it cover it). Finally, at 43, I accomplished my dreams. Thanks to the Indie platform I was able to publish my first book. Seven years later I have over forty, and I am absolutely thrilled to be able to connect with other like-minded authors, and especially readers, here on Goodreads. That people are reading my stories and enjoying the worlds I am creating exceeds my expectations, and I'm looking forward to where this might take me. Now...for those that like the more formal blurb: :) Author Tara Ellis lives in a small town in beautiful Washington State in the Pacific Northwest. She enjoys the quiet lifestyle with her two adult kids and several dogs. Having been a firefighter/EMT and working in the medical field for many years, she now spends her time on family, photography, and creating various worlds, mysteries, and countless adventures.
