IN A WORLD FULL OF VIOLENCE, DANGER AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Nick Aten meets a group of fellow survivors. They prepare to return to his settlement, but what happens next changes everything. Nick finds himself on a ship with new friends - and with old enemies. To avoid being overrun by Creosotes, Nick cuts the mooring lines and the ship drifts downstream. Through a shattered land that is now the domain of human bones, and cities lying in ruin.
Nick searches for a car that still works, which will allow him to return to Sarah. When he explores a ghost town, he doesn't find the vehicle he needs, but he does find certain individuals who will force him to reassess his understanding of what the Creosotes are... and what transformation he might face in his own life.Once again, murderous adults are getting closer. This time they just might be far more dangerous than he could have ever believed.
And not only the adults are dangerous. Not every young person is automatically an ally.And, soon, it will be time to Carry the Can again. A game that is far from fun...and so often lethally explosive.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
THE WORLD IS STILL A DANGEROUS PLACE.
SO...GET THIS MESSAGE INTO YOUR HEAD.
YOU, TOO, HAVE A MONSTER TO KILL.
AND THIS BOOK JUST MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE.
