Seismic Faultlines
A 10.5-magnitude earthquake was supposed to be a scientific impossibility. But when the Salt Lake Valley shattered, the ground didn't just shake-it swallowed modern life. Within minutes, skyscrapers collapsed like sandcastles, the Great Salt Lake and rivers breached their banks to reclaim much of the valley floor, and the mountains shifted, leaving a newly jagged skyline that no longer makes sense.
Everything Chance knew is under tons of rubble.Seventeen-year-old Chance is standing in a graveyard that used to be his neighborhood. His home is gone. His father has vanished into the smoking ruins of the city center. The streets he grew up on have transformed into a landscape of buckled asphalt and flooded ruins.
When the ground stops shaking, the real nightmare begins.In a world that has been turned inside out, Chance has only one tether left to his old life: his sister is trapped on the other side of a ruined metro area that is now a literal war zone. He can't wait for a rescue that isn't coming. He has to become the rescuer. Every second he delays is a second she doesn't have.
In the silence of the aftershocks, the rules of civilization have been buried.To reach her, Chance must trek through a lawless wasteland, navigating "islands of debris" and flooded canyons of concrete while dodging those who see the "end of the world" as an opportunity for violence. Without power, police, or hope, the survivors are dividing into those who help and those who hunt. Chance isn't a soldier, but in a city without a future, he'll have to become a legend to save the only family he has left.
One brother. A shattered city. A race against the clock.In the ruins of Salt Lake, the stakes are apocalyptic:
