Description

A year after the catastrophe that shattered the United States, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are struggling to rebuild their community and reclaim fragments of the modern world. As electricity, communications, medicine, and the hope of national recovery begin to return, a government draft threatens to pull away the young people essential to the town’s future. Administrator John Matherson is forced to choose between protecting his neighbors and cooperating with a government whose methods grow increasingly authoritarian, especially after a nearby community is brutally subdued. Blending post-apocalyptic suspense with political and ethical questions about loyalty, liberty, and the price of order, this gripping sequel explores how a broken nation might rebuild—and what it might become in the process.
