Illusions of youth shattered before the revolution. His world destroyed not by the changing climate, but by a ruthless father. And then came V-1... Nothing in James' young life could have prepared him for this convergence of apocalyptic events. The vast wealth his father forced upon him is as worthless as the banking empire that created it. He won't miss the money. James didn't ask to be born into wealth. He would gladly trade it all to protect the Blue River Ranch and those who live there. The greatest tragedy of his young life is that he can't even do that. How can he when he may not even be able to save himself? That protecting those you love is not in your power is a hard lesson. A lesson James is unprepared to learn. When the revolution hits, he learns it nonetheless. And then came V-1...

"You better come home - People are dying"When Anna went to class that morning, she had no way of knowing the world was about to end.Now, with almost everyone in Eugene dead from some kind of mysterious infection, and all communications cut off, all she wants is to get back home. But how? A thousand miles of post-apocalyptic wasteland lies between her and the world she left behind, between her and everyone she''s ever loved. Are they even still alive?Determined to get back home, even if it means walking a thousand miles, Anna sets out, undaunted by what lies ahead. She has no way of knowing what the future has in store, but she knows it can''t be as bad as the recent past - or can it?"Anna provides readers with a sympathetic, resilient hero (one of several, it turns out) weighing options of how to continue in a world that is much changed and, potentially, has no future in it for humankind. By the cliffhanger ending, the stakes on everything have been raised."-Kirkus reviews

Twenty years since the great dying. V-1 no longer threatens humanity. Some threats are worse.Thanks to James, Anna, and the people of North Park, a stable, thriving community has arisen from the ashes. The stable part is the problem. In the two decades since the great dying, only one male baby has survived for more than a few days.Across the desert that was once the Great Plains, another Blue River community faces the same problem - no baby boys. Just girls. Charlene is one of those girls. Born after V-1, with the mantle of leadership thrust upon her, solving the lack of men may not be her greatest challenge. To the south and the east, the New Army of God is on the move.
