The world collapsed after the spread of the hyper-aggressive H5N1 Avian plague and several airborne mutations. By simply breathing the air, billions upon billions around the world died in less than a few months' time.
Soon after, technology and infrastructure disintegrated. Electricity is gone; there are no cell phones, Internet, television or much else. Humanity lies in waste, disease and ruin. Among the remaining survivors, one very rare gene in the human DNA surfaced as resistant to the onslaught.
Stuck in the remote mining town of Mudgee, Australia, Airborne Special Forces Colonel Connor MacMillen survives the dark and dangerous times. Motivated by family, he intends to get home to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania--or rather, the Fayette Mountains south of Pittsburgh. He has unfinished business to attend to there.
After four impossible years traveling in a post-apocalyptic world, Connor Mac lands in San Francisco and commences the last leg of his journey across the continental United States.
DEVASTATION POINT begins Connor Mac's exploits in the fifth year of the New Dark Ages as he encounters a strange and changed America turned upside down by the "Cuckoo Flu".
Encountering new friends as well as making fierce enemies along the way, his personal journey reveals a furious and confident fight for life. But, unbeknownst to Connor Mac, his journey to get home is noticed by those still in power in America; and they’re looking for him. It seems he is decidedly different than most men left standing. While all living men are infertile, he is still able to reproduce. And, that changes everything.
DEVASTATION POINT is a literary achievement that takes a comprehensive and thoughtful look at how one man, trained by America's best, would respond to a world completely altered by the pandemic destruction. To Connor Mac, family connections are critical and returning home can be a prime motivator for one last and final mission.
“DEVASTATION POINT stands head and shoulders over the pulp that permeates the post-apocalyptic genre.”
"A full and complete first novel of over 250,000 words, aficionados of the post-apocalyptic genre will fully enjoy reading this."
"This is an exploration of what it might take to smartly survive the apocalypse and still retain the higher elements of what it means to be human. Sorry, but there are no Zombies.”

About the Author
Paul R. Kirk, MA, CRC, CCM, LPC, CEAS, makes his living as an occupational and rehabilitation expert consultant who assists seriously ill or injured professionals in their efforts to return to a productive and fulfilling lifestyle. Master's trained in existential phenomological psychology and licensed as a professional counselor, Paul Kirk has spent over 28 years assessing the residual life potentials of individuals after a personal devastation, whether mental or physical.
In-depth vocational research, ergonomic analysis and isolating residual transferable skills for use in future life activity comes natural. This is easily extrapolated into assessing a post apocalyptic world.
Already published within his specialty, this is his first work of fiction in a new series of post-apocalyptic books. DEVASTATION POINT is within a completely different genre from his published work in the PIZZA BONES psychological thriller series.
He lives with his lovely wife and three wonderful children in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have a cat, Dexter, who loves everyone in the family but him.
