If you were one of the 0.05% of people left on Earth after the disappearance of all the children and two plagues that killed the majority of the planet's population, what would you do? If you were listening on your shortwave radio and discovered that others like you were heading to Key West, Florida, where fishing was abundant and there was a chance to live cooperatively with others, would you go? Your parents and friends are dead, corpses litter the streets, and, after two years of struggling, food is becoming scarce. What if your Border Collie companions suddenly became much smarter than they ever were and actively helped you survive? But it's getting harder to keep everyone fed, and you're bone-tired of trying. You suspect an alien race has been part of what's happening, but there's no way to know for sure. What would you do?
When an alien entity uses plagues to wipe out 99.9% of Earth's population, only 3,000 people survive in twenty isolated locations around the globe. American and Canadian survivors - and their newly sentient dogs - decide to gather in Key West, Florida, where the weather is warm, fish are plentiful and the island is an isolated and secure refuge. They must help each other survive the hardships of lost loved ones, few resources, and limited technology. The alien known as the Mechanic is the mastermind behind their decimation and is altering Earth's topography. But now the curious alien has taken human form and is joining the survivors in Key West. A computer wizard, a CIA pilot, an astrophysicist, a veterinarian, a former NSA analyst, and others find themselves suspended in time; unaging but struggling to survive on a planet changing around them.
