After It Happened is Devon C. Ford’s first and most popular series. Set in the UK in the immediate aftermath of a pandemic that wipes out most of the population, the books follow Dan, a man who reluctantly takes on the role of leader for a growing community of survivors. The first book, Survival, was published in 2016 and introduced a grounded, British take on the post-apocalyptic genre.
The series ran for nine books through 2020 before Ford returned with Warlord in 2025. After It Happened was a major success on Audible, reaching the top 10 in the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US. R.C. Bray’s narration helped bring the books to a wide audience. The series stands out for its focus on community-building and practical survival rather than just action.
