THE FIFTH NUMBER: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller, One Tribal Sheriff and Humanity's Last Stand

The world already ended once. Now one final number could make it burn again.

THE FIFTH NUMBER is a full post-apocalyptic horror story set in the radioactive deserts surrounding the buried ruins of Las Vegas.

Generations after nuclear war destroyed civilization, Beshup protects a remote village surviving on failing solar panels, dwindling water and relics scavenged from the old world.

Then a dying scout arrives with a warning.

A wasteland warlord known as Coyote Man has discovered nuclear weapons beneath an abandoned military base. The bombs remain dormant, but he believes Beshup’s missing father found the device—and the final code—needed to awaken them.

Following a vision left by his father, Beshup journeys across the waste toward a half-buried Statue of Liberty and the remains of the Las Vegas Strip. What he finds there could save his people, destroy his enemy or ignite the end of the world for a second time.

Only one digit remains.
