Rebirth, book Two in The Judas Syndrome Trilogy. A year into a Post-Apocalyptic existence, where friendships are tested and new enemies emerge; talk of destiny fulfilled through a child offers salvation. Could you believe? Rebirth is a continuation of the popular post-apocalyptic tale, The Judas Syndrome, that one reviewer called "a stark and uncompromising vision of the future of our world." Narrated by Joel's girlfriend Sara, Rebirth is a story of survival, betrayal, and hope. After giving birth to their son, whose evident purpose is to fulfill the destiny that Joel had forsaken, Sara realizes that her home is no longer a haven. Menaced by a power-obsessed Earl and frightened by the deterioration of a once-tight group of comrades, she flees north- into a nihilistic world inhabited by dangerous nomads, new friends, and old enemies.
