"Seven days. I can do seven days standing on my head."
Eleven years after the Pyongyang Flu decimated North America, Caleb Harrison has been counting down his final week at Outpost One—a solitary sentinel post in the high Cascades of British Columbia, guarding the only pass to his home of Hammondville. Just seven more days until he can return to the woman he loves and finally ask her to dance at the Spring Festival.
Then a desperate "Mayday" shatters the mountain silence.
Raiders aren't just coming—they're already here. Armed with radio-tracking technology and heavy armor, they've just slaughtered the sentinel at the northern outpost. Now they're rolling toward Hammondville like a tide of violence, tracking every radio transmission straight to their targets.
Caleb faces an impossible choice: Fall back and save himself, or stay and become a "speed bump"—buying the town precious hours and minutes to prepare their defenses. But when staying means he'll never make it home, when every word he speaks on the radio draws the Raiders closer, the detonator sits cold and heavy in his hand...
How much is a few hours worth?
This explosive first novella marks the first volume of AMERICA FALLS: THE GHOST NATION CHRONICLES
A standalone spin-off series of novellas, short stories and full-length novels set in Scott Medbury's bestselling America Falls universe—where a targeted virus wiped out the adult population, leaving the youth to forge a new civilization from the ashes of the old world.
Genre: Science Fiction
