Ron Hargrove writes fiction about consequences.
What people do when the systems fail, when the truth comes out, and when the easy answers run out.
His novels are heavily researched, morally serious, and built around questions he couldn't resolve. He lives in McKinney, Texas.
The Post-Equatorial Trilogy
Six years after a pathogen kills nearly everyone, the survivors are left with what was always the harder problem — not how to stay alive, but what to do with the life that remains.
Where the Voices Were
The world didn't go dark all at once. It went quiet. Environmental engineer Adam Nolan drives south through empty highways and silent cities, learning to survive alone in a world that no longer needs him. Then he sees smoke on a hillside.
The Remedy
Adam and Claire ride toward the community that raised her, carrying a truth about its founder that no one there is prepared to hear — or to answer for.
Threshold
Three communities. A decision that can't be unmade. The conclusion of the trilogy.
Written in collaboration with AI. The story is his. The process was unusual.
