Survival is more than escape. Being a survivor is what happens after escape. Survival is staying alive by any means necessary in a world without money, power companies, grocery stores, televisions, cell phones, police or gasoline stations. And, most important, in a world without any rules. Do what you must, when you must and trust only if you must. If you are strong, you may survive, but the weak shall die. Until he discovered the world was coming to an end, John Thompson was a spy. He spied on the Chinese working at Bug City where they genetically engineered and mistakenly released a horrible virus which killed nine out of ten. It was the end of the world as we know it, the Apocalypse, and the beginning of something better, all wrapped into one. The second book in this series.
