The Violet Darger series Her body is broken. Wrapped in plastic. Dumped on the side of the road. She is the first. There will be more. A new thriller series following Special Agent Violet Darger. The Scattered and the Dead series With 99.7% of the Earth's population dead and gone, the few who remain struggle to survive in an empty world. The scattered. The leftovers. These are their stories. A note about reading order: While we intended them to be read in numerical order (Book 0.5, Book 1.0, Book 1.5, etc.), you can technically start with either Book 1 or Book 0.5.
