At the threshold of total anarchy, local authorities feverishly attempt to maintain order as people and pets go missing. A race against the clock, Sheriff Glasgow pulls out all the stops in attempts to serve and protect the people of his San Francisco East Bay County. World health organizations battle with a new viral outbreak. Laboratories work around the clock trying to develop a vaccine. With the origins of the new virus unknown, President Riley, of the United States, attempts to determine if his country inadvertently developed the strain. The US government may possess the cure to the apocalyptic virus, but to share this knowledge would be to compromise national security. The President worries about exposing too much to the world about what the Americans have been brewing behind closed doors. The first book and introduction of the NZ series, Solitude is a new twist to the stale apocalyptic stories. Solitude introduces a realistic end of days scenario that will capture readers and have them begging for another serving.
