M.K., an author I met on my journey, has a blog tour running right now.
Let's check out the details, shall we?
Dusk of Humanity, The Decay of Humanity Series, Book 1:
An asteroid brought about the destruction
of the world…in a way no one thought possible.
After the death of her parents, Sloan Egan left
their Montana ranch determined to make a difference in the world. Now a
prominent surgeon with an exceptional career in her future, life has turned out
exactly as she expected. Until a government summons arrives with an order to
report to Fort Hood for a top-secret weekend retreat.
Major Lee Archer’s reassignment as head of military
operations at The Bunker felt more like a prison sentence than a promotion. To
make matters worse, he’s been assigned to babysitting detail, as a group of the
country’s most brilliant young minds come together to test the vitality of the
cutting-edge fallout shelter he commands.
But the retreat was nothing more than a ploy. One
devised to safeguard the future of humanity, as a catastrophic event renders
the world above uninhabitable.
Or so they’ve been led to believe.
Those in charge have a secret. One so horrifying
they would do anything to keep it concealed. Because what lurks beyond The
Bunker is deadlier than anyone could have ever imagined.
And it’s only a matter of time before it finds a
way in.

Wow! Congratulations on your book tour!
So, what are readers saying about this title?
☆☆☆☆☆
"Fun read...lots of action. Archer and Sloan are likable heroes and the fast paced plot keeps you turning pages. Looking forward to reading the next installment." - Helenbk1, Amazon
☆☆☆☆☆
"Nearing
the end of their weekend locked down 'testing' the fall out shelter and
supposedly rating it for improvement they are told an astroid hit earth
and they can not return to the surface. 2000 of the country's brightest
and best in their field all in The Bunker. The story takes you through
what happens in this post apocalyptic world. The people who created
and invested in The Bunker have secrets they hope no one ever discovers.
I
loved the characters and how they handled all that is thrown at them.
This book kept me turning the pages as I wanted to know what happens. I
am looking forward to reading the next book in the series." - Wendy Ragan, Amazon
☆☆☆☆☆
"I really
loved the concept of this story. It is one of those sci-fi/horror novels
that does a fantastic job keeping you on the edge of your seat. I read
this in one sitting because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next! I
think the plot was unique, and fast paced, and I’m looking forward to
more.
I really love the characters. Everyone is super well
rounded, and realistic. I found them strong, with purpose, and I think
that is super important in a novel. I’ve always said a book can be
lacking in plot (which, this isn’t), but if it’s lacking in characters
it is more likely to lose me. This isn’t the case with Dusk of Humanity.
M.K. Dawn has a ton of talent, and I am very much looking forward to reading more of her stories!" - Jessica Rachow, Amazon
☆☆☆☆☆
"Fantastic read. I will start right off and say I loved this book! I met M.K. Dawn recently at the Love Of Books Author event in Austin. This was the only apocalyptic book I found at the entire event so I had to buy it! I love ' zombie(ish)' stories and this one does not disappoint. Very well written. Excellent character development." - L. Liberty, Amazon
Nice!
Here are some excerpts from Dusk of Humanity.
Excerpt 1
Sloan turned her attention to the
news. She caught the tail-end of a headline that read something about a virus,
which wasn’t too much of a concern in her eyes. Every year there was always
talk about viruses; most didn’t cause too much damage and only needed to run
their course, but they were news nonetheless.
Several anchors were deep in
discussion—about what, she couldn’t decipher—and the remote was nowhere in
sight. A video of a man who displayed symptoms similar to those of the man
brought into the ER this morning played in the background. Sloan stood to turn
up the sound on the TV itself when the screen went black.
“News,” a man said. “Can’t believe a
damn thing those bastards say. Always blowing shit way out of proportion.”
Sloan pivoted around. “Do you know
what they were discussing?”
“Nothing that pertains to us.” He
crossed the room. “Lee Archer, but everybody calls me Archer. You must be Dr.
Sloan Egan.”
She shook the man’s hand. “I am.”
“Glad you could make it, Dr. Egan.”
He wasn’t quite what she expected.
With his light brown crew-cut hair, green eyes, and fair skin, he looked more
like a movie version of a soldier than the men who escorted her from the
airport. “Please, call me Sloan.”
“This the only bag you brought?” He
motioned to her small carry-on.
“That and the one I’m holding.” She
patted the bag slung across her chest.
“You know there’s a cocktail party
the last night?”
“I’m aware and packed for the
occasion.”
“That must be one hell of a dress.”
Sloan’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t know
what that means.”
A mischievous grin spread across
Archer’s face. “To fit a dress into that tiny suitcase, it must be short. Short
equals hot, which makes it one hell of a dress.”
Sloan stood there, flabbergasted at
the borderline inappropriate remark. If this was the standard set for employee
behavior within The Bunker, this weekend would be more dreadful than she’d
imagined.
Excerpt 2
The room fell silent. President
Edward Patterson sat behind a small desk in a make-shift office with an
unnatural stillness. An American Flag hung on the cavern wall behind him. It
took Sloan a moment to realize he too was in The Bunker.
His expression was grave and his
normal youthful demeanor was replaced with an unsmiling, unfocused stare that
could only mean one thing: the announcement wasn’t good.
“My fellow Americans,” President
Patterson began, “first, on behalf of our great country, I would like to
personally thank every one of you for joining us this weekend.” He dropped his
head and swallowed so hard the sound echoed off his microphone. When he raised
his head, his eyes were wet and bloodshot. “Secondly, I owe each of you an
apology. I’ve always considered myself an honorable man. My word is as
important to me as the air I breathe.” Another extended pause. “It’s with a
heavy heart I share with you my deception.”
The sound of Sloan’s heartbeat
thrashed in her ears.
“We brought you here under false
pretenses, not out of malice but out of fear. Fear that without each of you the
world as we know it would be lost. I will spare you the tedious details and get
straight to the point.” He lifted his wrist to check the time. “Approximately
five minutes ago, an asteroid close to six miles wide struck the earth. An
asteroid this size is known as a global killer. Over the course of the next few
months, billions of lives will be lost, as will most of the animals and
vegetation.”
The room erupted in a mixture of
cries and gasps. Sloan couldn’t think. She couldn’t breathe. This couldn’t be
happening.
Uh oh! So tense!
