In the aftermath of the supervolcano’s eruption in Yellowstone Park, North America is covered in ash. Farmlands cannot produce food. Machinery has been rendered useless. Cities are no longer habitable. And the climate across the globe grows colder every day.
As the continent becomes a barren wasteland, former police officer Colin Ferguson's family finds themselves scattered across a desolate landscape, fighting for survival in a world where civilization is hanging on by a thread. With gripping suspense and vivid storytelling, Turtledove delves into the relentless struggle to reclaim humanity's foothold in a post-apocalyptic world, weaving a pulse-pounding tale of resilience, survival, and the unbreakable human spirit.
“Turtledove is a master of operating on a grand scale, using interconnected stories of individuals to tell a much larger tale....He treats this massive disaster in a realistic fashion, creating a world that tries to limp along in the aftermath of the greatest blow nature has ever struck against modern man.”—The Maine Edge
“A classic Turtledove view of the world through the eyes of the little people story....I am looking forward to seeing how the Fergusons survive the coming action.”—SFRevu
