Short description

In 2078, sixty years after a destruction nearly ended life on earth, a small group yet survived in a protected valley in North Georgia. Only Lon, a renegade, had ventured outside the valley. Then an injured stranger arrived and before she died, told of her settlement 400 miles west. Lon and two others were sent to find her home. This is an account of their epic journey, and dangers they endured.

Excellent book. I like apocalyptic sci-fi so downloaded the sample. It had me hooked after the first few pages. I was so wrapped up in the adventure I could hardly put the book down.
