A well-written story with a powerful shock ending. Really makes you think about the stupidity humankind is capable of. This story does not amble. The action is full-throttle from beginning to end. A gifted writer. -Amazon
Nathan King wakes up one day freezing cold and starving on a tattered mattress in a dark cave, and has no idea where or who he is. He meets Edward Sole, who says at least one nuclear bomb has been dropped and most, if not all of the world, has been destroyed. Slowly the realization sinks in that in this terrifying landscape, there are no rules and no laws. Cannibalism is rampant, mutant animals, and desperate humans are on the attack.
With all communication cut off, and meager supplies, every day becomes a fight for survival and sanity. To make matters worse, a band of savages called The Neanderthals have emerged who rape, pillage and murder for more than just survival. They enjoy it.
Fighting for their survival, Ed and Nathan team up with Cadence Whitaker, Nathan's girlfriend whom he has no recollection of, and fierce warrior Velvet Jones, and try to escape before they're all killed.
In the meantime, Ed has begun a slow descent into madness, leaving the group wondering who the enemy really is.
A lightning-paced, action-packed exploration of a terrifying existence in a savage post-apocalyptic wasteland caused by humankind's stupidity.
