Burning Skies Books in Order

Burning Skies is a shared-world post-apocalyptic project, and Devon C. Ford's The Fall is the opening move. That gives his book a specific job. It has to introduce the disaster, ground readers in the chaos, and leave enough room for other writers to take the wider world in different directions.

The setup is immediate and ugly. Cal arrives in New York for what should have been a personal trip and instead finds himself trapped in the middle of a terror attack that spirals into something far bigger. Cities are hit, panic spreads, and the attack opens the door to wider destruction. From there the book becomes a flight inland, with Cal and a small group trying to stay ahead of the collapse while never really knowing what scale of disaster is still coming.

This is a road story first.

Because The Fall is the launch point for a multi-author setting, it focuses more on the experience of breakdown than on tidy answers. The appeal is in the momentum, the confusion, the quick decisions, and the shifting mix of strangers forced together by circumstance. Ford keeps the human angle in front, which is exactly what you want from the book setting the tone.

If you are here for Devon C. Ford specifically, think of Burning Skies as a doorway rather than a long Ford-only commitment. His contribution lays down the panic, the movement, and the first major survival stakes that the rest of the shared world can build from.
