In the early years of the 21st century, the world was rapidly going to Hell...and Ben Walker was determined not to go down easy.
From his tiny community of Paradise, Ben and Jesse--his younger brother--tried to keep a spark of civilization alive so that one day, like the legendary Phoenix, a new world might spring up from the ashes of the old...
But there were those among the remnants of the old world who were not as anxious as the Walkers for the return of a civilized world. And they would stop at nothing to thwart the plans of Paradise.
Two reluctant heroes must therefore join forces to save their world in a world torn apart...
This is the first world-wide printing of this prophetic novel.
