"Na meer dan honderd jaar levenloos en verlaten te zijn geweest, wordt in 2080 het grondgebied van Noord-Amerika opnieuw verkend door een Europese expeditie."
""Following the energy crisis of the late twentieth century, America has been abandoned. Now, a century later, a small group of European explorers returns to the now climatically mutated continent. But America is unrecognizable--the Bering Strait has been dammed and much of the country has become a desert, populated by isolated natives and the bizarre remnants of a disintegrated culture. The expedition sets off from Manhattan on a cross-country journey, through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks, to uncover a shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas"--Page 4 of cover."
"Following an ecological collapse in North America caused by the damming of the Bering Strait near the turn of the 21st century, most of the population was evacuated to Europe and Asia. In the year 2114 a group of Europeans travel to the United States to investigate the source of increased radioactive fallout in England. They find that most of the country has become a desert and is populated by isolated groups descended from those left behind."
