A world gone mad: Four weeks after a plague has swept the world - a virus that unlocks the genetic insanities that lurk in all of us.
The epidemic affected everyone, the entire human race gone insane. Now the incapable mad - the catatonic, depressed, schizophrenic - are dead. The only ones left are the functional insane. Megalomaniacs, psychotics, those whose insanities are adaptive in this new world, roam the land, preying on the weak.
A small band of survivors who believe themselves still sane fight for survival and the chance to build a better life. But are they really sane, or are they just deluding themselves?
Autorentext
Born in 1963, Lee Rutty had one ambition: to write compelling science-fiction stories and novels. He even put down on his first apartment lease, under Profession: Writer. Real life intervened. He wasn't seasoned enough as a human being or writer to make that happen, so instead he spent 30 years building a family and a career in IT. From code monkey to manager, he clawed his way up the ladder. He hasn't quit his day job, but finally he has re-started his first and dearest dream, and has taken up writing again. Hopefully more seasoned, both as a person and a writer.
He lives in beautiful Cape Elizabeth, Maine. With his wife Alison he has three children: Charlotte, Stuart and Henry.
