A gripping, terrifying road trip through the heat of the post-apocalyptic American desert from the author of Netflix's The Silence. This action-packed and thought-provoking eco-nightmare will appeal to fans of Benjamin Percy, Christopher Golden and Josh Malerman.With global warming out of control, large swathes of North America have been struck by famine and drought and are now known as the Desert.

Once, he too made rain, but he stopped when his abilities caused fatalities, bringing down not just rain but scorpions, strange snakes and spiders. When his daughter Ash inherited this tainted gift, Jesse did his best to stop her.
