The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build a new world?

"This tale of people acting as bad as they want to be vs. others who just want to do the right thing marks an entertaining debut". -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Burton's writing is solid and poised". -- Denver Post

"Burton is only in the initial stage of his writing career...but he has already mastered the art of keeping readers turning pages". -- Booklist

"Epic, along the lines of The Stand; spiritual, along the lines of The Seven Arrows. LeVar Burton created a world in which devastation leads to the possibility of redemption. I highly recommend this book!" -- Whoopi Goldberg

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
America today is teetering on the edge of the alarming vision presented in LeVar Burton's debut novel, written more than two decades ago . . .

In 2012, the first African American president is assassinated by a white extremist-just four days after he is elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war. In its aftermath, millions are left homeless as famine and disease spread throughout the country.

But from Chicago, a mysterious voice cries out . . .

To Leon Crane, a former NASA scientist now struggling to survive on the streets, the pleas he hears remind him of the wife he could not save-and offer him a chance at redemption.
To Jacob Fire Cloud, a revered Lakota medicine man, the voice is a sign that the White Buffalo Woman has returned to unite all the races in peace and prosperity.
And to little Amy Ladue, the cries are those of her mother, who disappeared during the devastating St. Louis earthquake-and who must still be alive.

These three strangers will be drawn together to rescue someone they have never met, a woman who holds the key to a new future for humanity-one remarkably brimming with hope.

"LeVar Burton brings a strong new voice to science fiction with this powerful, even disturbing, novel." -Ben Bova, New York Times-bestselling author

"An amazingly good first novel." -Rocky Mountain News

"I highly recommend this book!" -Whoopi Goldberg
