Fifteen years after an alien invasion, Gail, a seventeen-year-old girl raised mostly in solitude, wanders through the slowly-crumbling world in search of a family she has never known. When she runs into a snarky "computer witch" named Crow, she becomes embroiled in a plan to take down the oppressive Mori-a 4000-year-old enemy of Earth. The two are joined by other people in on this plan, including a US marine trapped inside an experimental power suit, and a knife-throwing con man.
When Gail accidentally kills the younger brother of the self-proclaimed "Duke of the East," Gail is branded a criminal. While she traverses a post-technology world, Gail learns the importance of a "found family," while also discovering the truth about her own heritage and growing ever closer to her new friend Crow. She also learns that the Mori are planning a mass extermination of humans, and she may be the only key to stopping them.
No Place is an homage to one of the first legendary fearless women of fiction-Dorothy Gale-and is a post-apocalyptic retelling of L. Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
