Publisher's Synopsis
The pandemic changed everything. Health, wealth, and beauty, those are Black things now. Poverty, illness, crime-those things are for white people.
The virus turned the suburbs into graveyards and ripped away dreams of the future. It turned the present into a desperate fight for the future. In a world where skin color is tied to immunity, for the first time in his life, Scot must reckon with being white. For Kimberly and other Black survivors, the complexities of being Black in America just got worse. While armies of white nationalists and Christian fundamentalists try to remake a post-apocalyptic America according to their vision, people of color, and their allies, must fight for theirs. Amid race warriors, survivalists, and refugees, Scot and Kimberly must learn to trust and understand people they thought they knew, including each other. In the face of withering hate, division, and a crushing pandemic, only the united will survive. Written and published just before the Covid-19 pandemic, Reaper Moon has been called prescient, visionary, and harrowing. It stands alongside the most highly regarded classic and contemporary apocalyptic stories: Stephen King's The Stand; Cormac McCarthy's The Road; as well as the Dog Stars, Zone One, and The Reapers are the Angels. If you find stories of The Last of Us, The Walking Dead, The Handmaiden's Tale, Station Eleven, and films such as Red Dawn and the Book of Eli, compelling, this series is for you.
