"lean and fast-paced-not as stripped down to essentials as Cormac McCarthy's doomsday classic, The Road, but enough to keep pages turning? An engrossing bitter harvest of future bad times that opens a post-apocalyptic trilogy." - Kirkus ReviewsAfter climate disasters, a revolution, and finally another pandemic, the United States of the mid-twenty-first century has seen better days.James Mendez was much too young to remember the pandemic of 2020. Not that remembering could have prepared him for what was to come. Like everyone else who lived through that time, his parents remembered. But the memories of 2020 did nothing to prepare them or anyone else for V-1. Not even his billionaire father, with his iron-fisted control of an empire, was ready for the apocalypse when it hit.It wasn't the pandemic apocalypse that destroyed James' life, though. No, his own father, Robert, was mostly to blame for that. Or maybe James had no one to blame but himself for what happened with Anna.Now, all James wants is to get back home. If it's true that you can never go home, where do you go when your world collapses around you? Gave me nightmares"The premise of this story speaks to the very real way we are destroying our planet. And it's especially chilling with the news of the spreading Coronavirus."Fascinating and scary read!"The reality of this book is something to make a person stop and give serious thought as to what could happen to the world we live in."
