A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst the destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world that is utterly devastated.
"In a fight for survival a father and son walk alone through a post-apocalyptic America plagued by marauding gangs of cannibals. Armed with a single pistol and sustained by a cart of scavenged food and their love for one another, they struggle toward the coast in hope of finding the beginnings of a new civilisation."--Cover p.
