Sixty years later, society had crumbled, and people were living in the woods - forced to forage for food, and hunt wild animals with knives, and bows and arrows. People no longer use money, and the area is rife with danger - from packs of feral dogs who attack people, murderous humans, and grizzly bears. And smack dab in the middle of the dystopian wasteland, is an old man, and a twelve-year-old boy who fight for survival. The boy hunts for small animals such as rabbits and pigs, and the old man tells him about how society was before the Scarlet Death, sixty years ago. The story follows the two people as they struggle to survive, and the people that they come across.It is an intriguing post-apocalyptic story written by esteemed author Jack London, author of 'Call of the Wild', and 'White Fang'.
