Imagine you wake up one day to find 99% of the world's population has disappeared - and then 99% again the morning after that. Phones and internet down, highways destroyed, a government that isn't exactly forthcoming with answers...how would YOU go about figuring out what became of friends and family? The protagonists confront these nightmarish scenarios and more in this chilling new novel from Jason McGathey, set in an all too believable near future.
As a ragtag group of determined survivors begins to piece together what became of everyone else, they encounter nothing but resistance from those in command, who are moving in shadow and are determined to thwart all efforts at discovering the truth - and this is before the sentient holograms start to appear, tracking their every movement. Only by banding together and summoning untold reserves of intuition and guile can our scrappy heroes hope to outwit such powerful, mostly hidden forces. Along the way, they discover that just maybe those who are a little bit damaged possess the greatest attributes for survival amid this terrifying new world order.
