Sun Gods

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Long before civilization collapsed, Dwayne was ready for it.

A former “toy soldier” at FAO Schwarz, he spent years stockpiling supplies and waiting for the world to end. When a massive solar flare finally pulled the plug on civilization, Dwayne turned his beloved toy store into a fortress and assembled a cult of loyal minions—his “adds”—named after the video-game villains and heroes of his childhood.

In the drowned ruins of Manhattan, batteries are currency, childhood memories are scripture, and the mysterious Sungunners run a casino out of the Plaza Hotel.

As famine and revolution sweep through the city, Dwayne discovers that the greatest threat to his throne isn't the desperate masses outside his walls.

It's his own people.

Now, with Manhattan descending into chaos, Dwayne plans to reclaim what belongs to him—and maybe save the city while he's at it.

Darkly comic and fiercely imaginative, this dystopian odyssey blends 1990s nostalgia, gamer culture, prepper philosophy, and twisted mythology into a uniquely savage tale of survival. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Road.
