This is the third book about the survival of mankind after the war on carbon catastrophe. In the face of a dead world in which nearly all the plants, animals, and humans died or were eaten, tiny colonies of humans survived. In this book, the evil of man is revealed in the large slave colonies of Central America that also survived. Sooner or later, these slavers would come north and annihilate the free colonies of North America. Would the free wait for death or would they fight for life? Some of the intrepid explorers from the free colonies set out on their own into the high prairie and started a new culture of tribal wanderers that would last for centuries. Page after page are filled with sometimes touching and sometimes violent drama as the peaceful colonies struggle for life against a horrible death by the slavers or nature. Hearts are broken, lives are lost, and yet the decency in mankind somehow survives in this apocalyptic thriller.
