Description
What was once the United States has become a savage post-apocalyptic environment where the worst of the worst prosper and the remaining good hide.
Seven characters in different parts of the United States must adapt to this new environment. The “fight or flight” mentality plays into the story, as the nation is divided into factions fighting for control of the country. The government is outnumbered, outgunned, and forced into hiding as well to recoup their forces.
The novel pits these characters the elements and each other, with lives intertwining on opposite sides of the war effort. One characters quest for revenge could jeopardize not only the war outcome, but the reshaping of the entire nation.
What these characters don’t realize, is the terrifying evil making its way across the ocean.

Some considered the victims of death to be the “lucky ones” because they didn’t have to deal with the “Aftermath” of this post apocalyptic world. Others did what they must in order to survive, however awful or gruesome it may have seemed. It was minuscule in terms of survival. Whether you chose to unite as a community and try and rebuild, or attempted to live off the land on your own trusting no one, or joined a rebellious tribe, neither option was an easy one. This story incorporates the perspectives of characters who have taken different routes since the bombings that shattered and redirected their lives. From the different narratives of Ian, Ron, Sara, Eric, Justin, Carmen, and Alice, the reader is able to explore how each individual has coped, grieved, and in some cases persevered on this unique journey. As their stories begin to overlap, you become more invested and empathize with all sides of the battle. You learn that in dark times, even compassion and love can crossover and blur the lines of battle. But greed and hate can come full circle, as well.
