The Route So Far

Stories rarely appear all at once. They are built piece by piece, like a long line stretching across unknown territory.

This page tracks that journey.

Warriors of the Last Days is not a single novel but an evolving saga set across the entire country of Canada, in each province and territory.


A warrior with a spear stands before the overgrown, ruined Montreal Olympic Stadium in a post-apocalyptic landscape.

Each book represents another station along the route, another step deeper into the world that emerged after the collapse. Some stations are already lit. Others are still under construction. A few exist only as distant points on the map. All are slowly evolving.

Think of this page as the control board of the archive. It shows what has already been recovered and recorded, what is being assembled now, and what still remains to be built.

If you follow the series, this is the place to check the signal, where we are at on the map. Where we are headed. Where the next micro-climate will get you.

The first four volumes of the first story arc are set in Montreal, Quebec.

The next story, set in the islands of St-Pierre & Miquelon (technically part of France but very close to Newfoundland – they will definitely affect us after the Light…), is already in progress as well as Death Row, another single novel, more action focused, set in a Maximum Security Prison in Ontario.

Currently being outlined are COLD STORAGE (set in Yukon) and THE FRONT (a terrifying and poignant post-apocalyptic horror story set in Saskatchewan).

Further volumes, including individual short stories, will be set all across Canada. Two short stories set in Manitoba are already out (TOWING THE LINE (stand alone) and FLIN FLON’S HOLE (now a tryptic that includes THE EXPECTED and THE SUNLESS CITY). A new story becomes available every month to our newsletter subscribers.

As more novels add to the series, they will be added to this page so that you may track their individual progress as well. When a short story is attached to a novel, it appears here with a progress bar. Once completed, the status changes, the progress bar disappear and it becomes a link directly to the story on the website. Same when a book has launched: status changed to single line, link to the book page.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
