After the Machines: No Ground...

W. R. Stanek

The Machines own the world. In the Teeth, humans survive by refusing to fall.

Here, life is measured in handholds, weight, wind, and the distance to the next place that might hold.

Broken roads cling to mountainsides. Dead hydro structures cross impossible ravines. Ancient cables vanish into cloud. One bad choice means nothing beneath you but air.

When a dangerous mountain run collides with active Machine movement, an already brutal crossing becomes a race through collapsing infrastructure, exposed heights, failing routes, and places no human was meant to reach.

Survival should be simple: find the safest line. Control the load. Protect the person beside you. Never let someone make the mistake that kills them.

Except protection can become another kind of trap.

As the route fails and the Machines draw closer, survival will demand something harder than strength: knowing when to hold on - and when another human being has the right to choose their own footing.

NO GROUND BELOW is a fast, visceral standalone science-fiction thriller set in the world of After the Machines. No prior reading is required.

A complete story of survival, ruined-world mystery, Machine pressure, and human choice.
