The United States hangs perilously close to ruin as the newly resurgent Aztec Empire begins its final assault against the country.
In this maelstrom of chaos and destruction, a small of group of individuals holds the key to either stop or to aid this terrible menace. Across these devastated lands, Tara Weiss searches for her lost brother, aided by the trickster god and the vampire-like Patrick Gyle. Tyrone Gatlin, a US Army deserter, is guided by dreams of a great spirit as he makes a dangerous journey across the flooded areas of the Deep South. Tepiltzin, high priest of the flayed god Xipe Totec, is torn between devotion to his family and of his responsibilities in the new empire.
Meanwhile, Detective Valerie Mendoza travels across the nightmarish landscapes of Hell in order to find and rescue the one man she loves, Dr. Paul Dane.
The Wrath of the Old Gods series features a unique blend of multiple genres that encompasses mythology, real world politics, fantasy, horror, war, survival and high adventure, all wrapped up in a thrilling, post-apocalyptic setting.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Bad writing, worse "reader"
The poor writing and is only made worse by the AI "reader" used to narrate the book. I bought the book on sale on whim to see how it was and am confident that I overpaid.
I would recommend skipping this book.
