Ten days later millions have died from thirst and starvation, from violence, and from the simple failure of the world’s machines to keep them alive. This second installment of John Birmingham’s End of Days trilogy finds James O’Donnell and his friends Rick, Michelle and Melissa hunkered down in the wilderness, where they know a horde of starving, desperate exiles from the graveyard of the US East Coast is heading their way.
