Death bestows a special kind of cruelty when all of civilization is dying along with you. A special kind of freedom.
The next book in the A-Day series, the sequel to Check to the Better brings chaos. The nuclear strikes of A-Day decimated civilization. Death and destruction reign where only days before the world had lived in a time of decadent prosperity. The final survivors of the first weeks following the A-Day cataclysm will now discover if and how they want to live. Will a small population of strangers rally behind a newly minted, reluctant leader, or cast away the last shackles of society and descend into the destruction that they've found a brief reprieve from? Will a broken man remain the captive of a group of crazed sadists, or transcend his crumbling will to live and find strength in despair?
Everything was lost on A-Day save for a few burning spirits that must now decide whether their light should shine on in a world plunged into darkness.
