Marcus Adair was a bartender in Cincinnati, Ohio when the devastating Omega virus changed everything. One of the very few people to survive, if only barely, he finds a world changed and wholly unrecognizable. The electric grid is gone. Stores and banks are just a memory. Gas has become a precious and diminishing commodity.
With his immediate family dead, Marcus needs a purpose, a goal, a reason to survive. He thinks of Hidden Acres, the old family farm tucked away in Western Indiana. It is a place of fond childhood memories filled with golden, summertime adventures. It also the only place where he may find surviving family. With nothing to lose, he packs what he can fit into his old hiking backpack and starts the long trek on foot across the remains of the American heartland.
Can he get there safely? If he makes it that far, will he find family, or just the ghostly memories of what once was?
This is the story of Marcus’s journey, and the different people he meets along the way, who are each just trying, in their own way, to make it through. $2.99 on Kindle.
