Pandora's Highway - Robert Taylor - Bog

The Collapse. Civilization swept away in the historical equivalent of the blink of an eye. Man reduced to little more than a parasite living off the carcass of the Old World. After twenty years, little was left for even the most diligent of scavengers to recover. Animals had vanished, replaced with creatures that had never existed on Earth. Reproduction was difficult, water supplies poisoned and the world just kept on getting warmer. As the saying went - The world was not what it was. For Nathan Smith, inveterate wanderer, his latest trip was one of desperate need. His community was on the verge of falling apart due to lack of food, water and other vital supplies. If he couldn't find them a place worth relocating to, well, he might as well not bother going back at all. But he could not have imagined the extremes that he would find on this journey. Horror beyond his wildest nightmares and joy beyond anything he'd ever dared to hope. The post-Collapse highways offered no free rides and no easy way. It was all or nothing and Nathan was about to learn a very important lesson. On this road, there was no turning back.
