“We needed that Border Patrol stop like a hole in the head. Won’t take much digging to figure out who took a close look at their bunker,” said Decker. “This is going to come back at us pretty fast.”

“Only accessible to the world by a single winding road from Los Mochis” ― Steven Konkoly, The Raid
“Rock, Paper, Scissors?” said Decker. “To see who gets to stretch their legs first?” Pierce looked at him and laughed. “I didn’t lose my memory from today’s trauma. I always knew you were cheating.” “It’s not cheating if I’m better at it,” said Decker.” ― Steven Konkoly, The Raid
“or slip away. If he” ― Steven Konkoly, The Raid
“The two senior officers couldn’t have been a better match” ― Steven Konkoly, The Raid
“You know the saying ‘there’s no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole?’ Well, there’s no such thing as a vegetarian in an apocalypse,” ― Steven Konkoly, The Perseid Collapse
“Alex waited for Kate to gather the handheld electronics from a cabinet above the navigation table and move to the small couch across from Emily’s bed. Their daughter had begun to stir, but still remained asleep. He really hoped she would stay asleep until they figured out what was going on. They needed a little more time to think before adding a panicky teenager to the mix.” ― Steven Konkoly, The Perseid Collapse
“Occam's Razor" was a principle designed to urge one to select the hypothesis or theory that made the fewest assumptions. Though on the surface it favored parsimony and economy, the principle didn't assert that the simplest available theory should be applied. The "razor" wasn't an arbiter between theories. In scientific circles it served as a guide.” ― Steven Konkoly, Apex
“Current politicians barely bothered to read the bills they signed or voted into law. Senators and congressmen utilized entourages of poorly paid staffers or volunteers to sift through the nonsense that none of them seemed qualified to examine on their own.” ― Steven Konkoly, Apex

“Others might call you a sociopath, however, I like the term unhampered pragmatist.” ― Steven Konkoly, Alpha
“Point of Crisis” A fixed point in the “Malthusian Catastrophe,” where population levels exceed the food production and distribution capacity of a system—resulting in a crisis that can only be regulated by famine, war or disease. – From Thomas Malthus’s Essay on the Principle of Population (1798).” ― Steven Konkoly, Point of Crisis
“Maybe he was just angry at having the rug ripped out from under him after spending so much time believing that he was ready for anything. Who was he kidding? Ninety-nine percent of the population had it far worse than the Fletchers, even now. Alex had to remember that. He hadn’t failed on any level. If anything, he’d succeeded in the face of insurmountable odds, with a little help along the way. A lot of help, but that was how it worked. No man was an island. No family was an island. However that saying went. Words to live and die by.” ― Steven Konkoly, Dispatches

“Shea adjusted his beard. “I’ll take it off when I’m one hundred percent convinced that I’m not under drone surveillance.” “Or in a few weeks,” said Berg. “Whichever comes first.” ― Steven Konkoly, Coming Dawn

“the table. He couldn’t tell for sure, but it looked like the worn tabletop was covered by a thick sheen of blood. A shirtless man in bloody jeans stumbled down the street next to the neighborhood, swaying like a drunk and drawing her attention. She stood up, grabbing something David couldn’t see from the bench next to her. The stumbler caught sight of someone in the group and veered toward the line of bushes separating the street from their little oasis. He tracked the man over the M1-A1’s scope, the shot too close for the 10X-magnified optics. The disheveled man lurched through the thick bushes, falling to the browned grass in a heap.
