Apocalypse Law 3

Book three in John Grit's popular series continues the saga of ex-Army Ranger Nate Williams and his son Brian as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. A plague of mysterious origin has swept around the globe, killing most of the human population. Nate and his thirteen-year-old son take in refugees from nearby towns and survive on their farm. With the help of the National Guard, Nate and his son recover much of their food that had been lost to roving raiders. While the government remains absent from their lives but for the Guard's brief appearance, Nate and friends are able to build an alliance with two larger surviving groups and set out to improve their lives and increase safety by mutual assistance and cooperation. Living under the constant threat of attack in a lawless land and worries over future food supplies, Nate takes in more orphaned children than he can care for and asks the largest group to provide them a home. More friends are gained and lost. Tragedy hammers Nate and Brian once again, and they face decisions of serious consequences. Travel to a distant town to scavenge for needed items presents still more danger, culminating in a fight to stop a murderous gang. 86,000 words
