What the readers are saying:

"I would describe it as a cross between Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Bong Joon-ho's thriller Snowpiercer." T.J.

"The imagery in the book was depicted so well, I could see myself walking on the roads with Aaron, Sam...and ultimately having been to Chapultepec Park, I was able to imagine being there." F.T.

"A thoughtful tale of survival in a world of dramatic climate change and governmental collapse. The characters are real and the twisting plot keeps you reading. Highly recommended." M.W.

"The book managed to accomplish the things you want from a good book - it told a riveting story in a way that kept me engrossed, let me walk in the shoes of a complicated yet sympathetic protagonist and left me thinking about issues far beyond the scope of the characters about humanity and the state of the world." M.M.

"The author presents his evidence through Aaron's thoughts...without being too preachy. There are some really interesting things proposed, and again - the book really makes you think." E.L.
