Beyond A New World and A Shrouded World, John O'Brien also has quite an extensive bibliography.

## A Shrouded World series

A joint series collaboration between Mark Tufo and John O'Brien, bringing Michael Talbot from Zombie Fallout and Jack Walker from A New World to fight against a new threat.

*"Jack Walker and Michael Talbot come from two worlds; the same, yet different. They both find themselves transported into an alien one, where things aren’t as they seem. While it appears similar to the ones they come from, there are some terrifying differences. Is it a dream? Or has reality been somehow warped?*
*Jack comes from a world filled with nocturnal creatures that were once human, but now seek to destroy the last vestiges of humanity. Mike, living under a constant threat from hordes of the undead, arrives with a companion, John the Tripper. Ripped away from their family members and thrown into the unknown, they find that the nightmares from their worlds have preceded them. Survival becomes moment to moment as they encounter old dangers, and new.Each wants nothing more than to be reunited with their loved ones. With dangers lurking around every corner, they seek to unravel the mystery that brought them. It may be a long road ahead, but they begin by taking the first step, hoping the next one will be the one that takes them home."*

## A New World series

Although not part of the Tufoverse, the A New World series is connected and useful as extended reading. The main character - Jack Walker - slips out of his reality of A New World to appear alongside Michael Talbot in the A Shrouded World series.

As a result, A New World is not essential reading for the Tufoverse , but a better understanding of the collaborative series A Shrouded World can be reached by reading it. A New World fills in the backstory of Jack Walker and the Night Runners - with two additional books of Untold Stories filling in the world.

This series is complete and finished.

*"Jack, a sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical ex-special operations pilot and soldier is one of the few left to struggle through the desolation left in the aftermath; seeking to survive as a new ferocious species emerges from the rubble, hungry and unrelenting.  Will his special forces training be enough?  Will he be able to keep his children safe and guide the few survivors through perils that now roam the world they once knew?  Or will the hordes that now own the night prevail, forever removing the last of mankind from existence?  Humankind was once at the top of the food chain.  But that has now changed."*

## Red Team series

The Red Team series is not connected to the Tufoverse and is set in an even further removed reality than A New World. However, the protagonist of the series is an alternative version of Jack Walker fighting against another threat to mankind.

This series is currently incomplete.

*The Organization, as it’s called, is tasked with keeping the nightmares of myth and legend from invading the public eye. The group must be kept a secret along with the fact that the creatures exist. As civilization expands its boundaries, that undertaking becomes more difficult.
