WARDAY

by Whitley Strieber 
and James Kunetka 

Seven million Americans died in the immediate blast. Millions more would die of radiation, famine, and disease during the next five years. Millions also lived, strung out across a country that knew it had been hit—but not why. Or where. Or how. Five years after a "limited" nuclear war, two survivors journey across America. They — and you — will discover what is left of their way of life: the depth of the devastation — and the hopes of a new society desperately struggling to be born.

When the grass dies, the world doesn’t just go hungry—it turns feral, and the rules that kept people human evaporate overnight. Caught in the chaos, teenager John Custance must lead his family across a dying England toward a rumored refuge. Everywhere there are roadblocks and armed strangers and hard choices as the gnawing certainty of famine asks the same terrifying question: - what will you become to survive?

“They wanted us dead. All of us.”

After four devastating waves unleashed by invaders from beyond Earth, teen survivor Cassie Sullivan goes full throttle to rescue her little brother before the next strike wipes out what’s left of humanity. With enemies who can look perfectly human, every road, every stranger, and every split-second choice feels like a firefight—and trusting the wrong person could get you killed.
