Sullivan is the last bastion of America as it was a mere eighteen months ago. There is plenty of food, water, and life. Connected to a world gone mad by a narrow isthmus covered by water at high tide, Sullivan is safe from the rest of the world. Sullivan also has Greg Valdiva, once a stranger. He can smell contagion before the symptoms show. He is judge, jury, and executioner.
Isolation wears on the residents of Sullivan as they realize they might be
next if Valdiva scents the telltale change in their blood that would mean they
have not cheated fate.
Aware that his useful days are numbered, Valdiva looks across the lake to the
burned-out husk of Lewis and sees a light. Turning his back on paradise to wander
a wilderness full of enemies, Valdiva discovers the truth about himself and
the possibility of a future.
Simon Clark has delivered once more with yet another post-apocalyptic tale, this one set in the US. Greg Valdiva could be the boy next door. Sullivan and Lewis could be the next towns over, your friends could soon be your enemies...
A frightening tale of what could be.
