The Colony series is Michaelbrent Collings’ most ambitious sustained narrative, seven books published in rapid succession between 2013 and 2015. Beginning with Genesis, the series follows a group of survivors who wake to find the world changed by a mysterious catastrophe. Each subsequent volume — Renegades, Descent, Velocity, Shift, Buried, and Reckoning — advances the story as characters uncover the truth behind what happened.
The series combines post-apocalyptic survival with horror elements, building tension across seven installments. The rapid publication pace kept readers engaged with a story that escalated steadily toward its conclusion in Reckoning.
