Publisher's Synopsis
WHERE DO YOU HIDE WHEN THE WORLD IS ON FIRE? Nathaniel Bowen's business trip is interrupted by the end of the world. He escapes the blitzkrieg in a small Georgia town, in a Cold War-era fallout shelter. But as he soon realizes, being trapped in an underground tomb with strangers isn't always a safe alternative. They bring their own bombs; fears, prejudices, and hatreds. Nate struggles to keep his sanity amid the hot and claustrophobia, but cannot hide in obscurity for long. He unwittingly proves pivotal in establishing a leader as well as becoming a key member of the new regime. When the group is forced to evacuate the safety of the shelter, what they find outside in the destroyed town and nation is just as horrible as they imagine.
