After the Quiet: Stories to the Edge and Back – Volume Two continues Carl Lakeland's exploration of what follows warning, collapse, and moral hesitation.
Across six tightly controlled stories, journalists, operatives, survivors, and ordinary people confront moments where systems fail quietly and consequences arrive without ceremony. Aircraft carriers appear without permission. Intelligence operations bleed into domestic life. Survivors navigate poisoned landscapes where preparation is never enough and mercy is rare.
These stories are not about spectacle or collapse as entertainment. They focus instead on pressure — the kind that builds unseen until action is unavoidable. They examine power exercised without accountability, truth delayed by design, and survival that demands compromise rather than heroism.
Spanning political thrillers, post-collapse fiction, and intimate literary drama, this collection is unified by a single concern: what remains when denial is no longer possible and the cost of inaction can no longer be deferred.
Quiet, unsparing, and deeply human, After the Quiet – Volume Two is a study of consequence — and the people left to carry it.
