The Last War by Ryan Schow is a seven-book fiction series that launched with the title novel in 2017. The remaining six books all came out in 2018: The Zero Hour, The Ophidian Horde, The Infernal Regions, The Killing Fields, The Barbarous Road, and The Terminal Run. That rapid release schedule means Schow wrote and published nearly the entire series in a single year.
The book titles point toward a war-themed or apocalyptic storyline that escalates with each installment. Since the series was written so quickly, the pacing between books stays tight. Readers should start with The Last War and read straight through in order to follow the full arc from the opening conflict to The Terminal Run.
