Publisher's Synopsis
Three hundred years after the rich and powerful fled for Mars, the Earth has become a wasteland, ravaged by apocalyptic storms and swarming with mutated creatures. Yet it is not entirely abandoned--for the discontents left behind by their corporate masters continue to struggle for survival, no matter how brutal the conditions.
One of these castaways, Jack Erdman, has woken from hibernation with nothing but his wits and some meager gear to keep him alive in the face of constant terror and death. Across the sea, a group of companions are trying their best to escape what civilization is left, caught between two militias in a battle for dominance over the scrap heap. What these survivors have in common is their desperation to make a better world, even in the face of hideous odds. And other people might be their only chance--or their certain doom.
Rigorous in its depiction of the mechanics of survival, The Hub is a propulsive, defiant story of the human spirit and its endurance, even at the end of the world.
