About this listen

What has Fergus gotten himself into this time?

The residents of Whitaker Holler, nestled in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, possess the gene (engineered millennia ago) that saved them from perishing during a catastrophic global pandemic three years earlier. They’re lucky. They knew all about rustic living before the apocalypse.

Led by Serena Jo, a brilliant, determined woman who doesn’t hesitate when making impossible, even ruthless decisions about their survival, the Mountain People thrive in this newly primitive world.

Two diverse residents of a secret government warehouse (one of the nation’s seven "Strategic National Stockpiles") camouflaged within a self-storage complex a few miles from Whitaker Holler also survived the pandemic.

Ray, the facility’s former brainy but phobia-plagued supervisor, must accommodate his captive, a malevolent psychopath bent on murdering every human she encounters. Ray knows keeping the survivors safe from Lizzy, despite the toll she takes on his peace of mind, is the most important and dangerous job left in the world.

What if he fails?
