Synopsis

Herbert Best's post-apocalyptic novel, presenting a grim vision of un-ending war, plague, starvation, and the near-extinction of mankind. In this future, war has ruined Europe, the Western Hemisphere decimated by disease, and the remaining humans reduced to cannibalistic, wandering bands. From dead cities and depopulated wastelands, a young American woman, a British officer, and a few other remaining individuals quest for havens of civilization and their own survival.
