Treachery. Infection. Invasion.Years after the apocalyptic worldwide blight decimated humanity, the isolated survivor colony in Bandon, on the Oregon coast, is just beginning to thrive when all it has built, and all it has fought for, is suddenly threatened by the appearance of a marauding force on its borders.

Claiming to be representative of a new government order, the leader of this army demands unconditional surrender—or Bandon will be annihilated.But conventional arms carried by an enemy are not all the survivors will face. A tiny microbe, as deadly to humans as the blight was to vegetation, may have been developed.

They survived a journey across the wasteland to bring hope back to their friends and loved ones. But when Eric, Elaine, and Neil reach the seaside town of Bandon, one of the last bastions of civilization to have survived the apocalyptic worldwide blight, they find it empty. Abandoned. Everyone they know and care for has left.Or been taken.Only the smallest of clues as to their whereabouts are left behind. But it is enough to send the trio heading north, sailing from town to town along the Alaskan coast, finding allies and confronting enemies along the way. Until finally they find themselves forced to enter a crumbling subterranean colony to rescue those they’d come for.But once they enter The Pit, the lives they’ve known and the people they’ve trusted will change--forever.
