The Living - Paperback

Thirteen years have passed since the Medusa plague wiped out nearly 99 percent of the world's population and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction.

Climate change triggered by nuclear skirmishes in the last fevered days of civilization decimated agriculture and livestock, and the hardened survivors battle for what few resources remain.

Will Callahan, Rachel Fisher's eleven-year-old son, is one of the lucky ones. In his small community in Nebraska, he and his family have access to food, clean water, weapons, and medical care.

More importantly, he is the only child known to have survived infancy since the plague.

But everything changes when someone comes looking for him.

To stay alive, mother and son will embark on a dangerous quest across an America reclaimed by nature, a journey that will reveal the terrible connection between their family and the plague's horrifying origins.
