Publisher's summary

The world has gone to hell and it isn't coming back.

It happened in a year: starvation, gangs of kids with guns, and every adult in the world dead from the sickness. Houses are now mausoleums. Civilization lies in the hands of children who've never had to feed themselves or survive a winter without gas or electricity. Most will die. Others - a bare few - will tread a different path.

Fourteen-year-old Jack Ferris is a survivor - because his parents raised him that way. Leveraging qualities rare for his age, he must lead his desperate companions to a secret refuge. Too late, he learns that safety is a mirage, and that the high price of hope is paid in blood.

Fans of One Second After, The Hunger Games, and Alas Babylon should enjoy this what-if tale of inventiveness, character, and courage.

Great Read!

Great story and narrator. I enjoyed listening to this book and recommend it. I would repeat what a friend said about this book: "Never underestimate a home-schooler."

Civilisation collapse for young adults

One of the few of this type to not fixate on power structures and dominance hierarchy.

Production and cooperation plays a pivotal role, enriching the story.

Good

Apocalyptic stories are always entertaining. The fact that it is based around kids was a new twist.
