Justin Bell writes post-apocalyptic and military science fiction at a rapid pace. Since 2016, he has published over 115 books across 17 series, most of them dealing with civilization-ending disasters and the people trying to survive them. His series tend to run six to ten books each, and he often publishes an entire series within a single year.
War of the Three Planets is his space opera series, while most of his other work stays closer to Earth. Heaven’s Fist, Storm’s Fury, and The Last Light deal with different catastrophic scenarios, from asteroid impacts to weather disasters to electromagnetic pulse events. Bell’s titles (Shattered, Scorched, Devastation, Annihilation) give a clear sense of what readers are getting.
