Populations Crumble charts the decline and attempted recovery of a world coming apart at its edges. The three-book series follows the trajectory promised by its titles: Dwindle sets the stage for a world losing ground, Rise tracks the first signs of something pushing back against that loss, and Reign arrives in 2022 to settle who or what ultimately shapes what remains.
K.A. Gandy’s writing in this series focuses on what happens to people when the structures they rely on stop working. The characters don’t have the luxury of abstract idealism. Their problems are immediate and physical, and the solutions they find carry costs. The series works as a complete story across all three books, with each volume moving the world forward in a way that makes the final book feel earned.
For readers who finish the original trilogy and want more time in this world, Populations Crumble: Resurgence continues the story with new entries and enhanced versions of the original books. Starting with Dwindle is the right approach regardless of which series you intend to read.
