Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 2082. The city is Los Angeles. The destruction is worldwide. Eli Plucky, his wife Cindy, and their eight-year-old, Zak, try to survive on the streets of L.A. in the aftermath of nuclear war. But seven-foot-tall Ivan and his invading gang from over the Bering Strait have other ideas: they have monopolized the only decent water source and will kill anyone outside their circle who tries to drink. With Morty and Deborah, their old friends from the Old Epoch, the Plucky family also encounters the mysterious genius Sisyphus and the sullen, violent Jagged. Do these two prove to be friends or foes? Eli Plucky, out of desperation, will finally lead his family in attempting to locate the ancient underground water system of the old Los Angeles pueblo from the 1780s. Will they find water and survive? Or will Ivan and his roving Bering Straiters quash the fledgling civilization and put paid to freedom forever? Tony Christensen is a writer living in the southern California area. This is his fifth title.
