Travelers On The Apocalypse Trail
The world does not end with a zombie, vampire, or werewolf uprising. Evil wizards do not cast their spells. Rampaging robots do not takeover, nor do disagreeable aliens invade.
We are human beings. We need no help in bringing about the Apocalypse.
The travelers depicted in this novel journey through a time of unprecedented climate change. Rising earth temperatures melt arctic permafrost releasing long stored methane gas. The released methane reaches a level in the atmosphere that causes global temperatures to rapidly rise beyond all predictions.. The accelerated warming of the planet then triggers additional climate tipping points affecting ocean and atmospheric currents.
Global weather becomes wildly unpredictable and dangerous. Mankind experiences extreme heat waves, violent and lethal storms, flooding, drought, massive dust storms, and mega fires. Nations fall and humankind faces annihilation from an increasingly hostile environment.
The near future in which the characters exist and struggle for survival is an apocalyptic landscape of humankind's own making.
'Travelers On The Apocalypse Trail' presents an epic tale of post-apocalyptic struggle for survival. The novel creates a complete portrait of a ruined world devastated by mankind's own actions.
The world that is portrayed, the characters, and the action that occurs follows in the tradition of 'The Stand', by Stephen King, 'The Road', by Cormac McCarthy, and 'The Postman' by David Brin.
