Emily Baxter feared she was the sole survivor of a deadly alien plague that swept through New York City, the nation, and the world inside a downpour of bloodred rainfall. So when the lifeless began transforming into a terrifying fresh form of existence, she feared her survival may be brutally short-lived. Then a human tone of voice crackled from a satellite television phone, urging her to flee north, where more refugees of the global annihilation hunkered down inside a desolate Alaskan outpost. Today, with just the supplies she can bring and her faithful puppy, Emily races in the united states, desperate to outrun the horrors close behind. So when she discovers even more survivors on the way, they join forces in their perseverance to cling alive and fight for future years. Standing in their way are Earth’s new masters, equally determined to survive and flourish, and possessed of monstrous capabilities Emily and her allies can’t begin to imagine…until they’re face-to-face using the hideous reality.
