When they learn one faction is led by the last surviving member of the political conspiracy that spawned the apocalypse, it is obvious which side to take.

Set among the thawing wilderness of Quebec and Ontario, the swollen rivers and flooded roads of New York, and in the courtrooms of Canberra, this novel includes characters and events from the five-part Pacific-based series Life Goes On.
