Publisher's Synopsis
The world is splintered, and so are the survivors. Adrift at sea for weeks, a rescue party finally offers safe haven to the four survivors who escaped the island. But the civilized society they've always known has fallen . . . and a fractured, dangerous anarchy has taken its place. Gunner. Charging into the chaos of the mainland, Gunner is determined to find his wife and daughter. But he has a new hell to deal with--desperate people with cutthroat motives. Zon. Returning home forces Zon to face his worst nightmare--losing Jessie, the only woman he's ever loved, in order to save her family. Gabby. Still trapped on the island with the other desperate survivors, Gabby and Madeline fear they've been forgotten. But nothing could prepare them for the danger that washes up on the shore. America is gone. Hope is all they have left. In a world of disorder, will the remaining passengers from Rose of the Sea ever make it home? Or will the darkness of human nature destroy what little is left?
