General Note: It has become clear that governments of all types and political leanings have failed their people. Now worse is happening. But the real danger lies not in the peril that everyone knows. The thing that threatens to destroy the world is another long ignored possibility. Now, as the world becomes increasingly uncivilized and dangerous, Greg Tolls and Kelly Wittman must try hard to survive as well as they can at Greg's cottage and hope for the best. Along with some neighbours from the nearby town, they make the best of it until either the situation is set right or it is clear that the situation is permanent.
