The book focuses on three groups of people, Alonso and her military escapees from the Cheyenne Mountain facility hibernations tanks, the Verona sisters who grew up on their fathers ideals and want to make the world a united place, and Reggie Lee and his group of people trying to organise local people into strongholds that are safe from attacks. ARDA is the AI that controlled the hibernation facility and it does not want any of them to survive.
Alonso has recently acquired two 'helpers' who say they are meant to be her 'assets', her helpers. She is very unsure of them, but wants to ensure that her team is safe, the 'Dark Angels' are very handy in a fight after all. The team is aiming to get to what was Las Vegas where a message is being broadcast on a loop calling people to the place, as a place of safety.
The Verona sisters are following the direction of the elder of the two, Carmen, who wants to catch up with Alonso's team. She wants their technology and their knowledge. She also wants to have all the local groups of people under her banner, whether they want it or not.
Reggie is fighting to keep his people alive and safe, above all else. He has already discovered one station that has been decimated by something and is racing to get back to safety with one of his couriers and an old hand from one of the outposts.
This is a post-apocalyptic story and you may find it a bit distressing in places, it is realistic and full of pace and tension. P.R. Adams writes a very good novel (or rather series of novels - you must read them all and probably best to do so in order) of a failing world where humans are no longer at the top.
Reggie Lee is a real hero! [Read it to find out why]
