"When it started, it was the size of a dot, but it dissolved like a drop of ink into a glass of water. The clear became clouded, and what was once light faded into dark. It spread like a disease affecting all mankind, this evil"

Mobile, 2019 It's been ten years since he left. Christopher stands gazing at what used to be his home. But what he sees is not what he left behind. Mobile has been overrun. His ship draws closer...Looters. Plunderers. Anything could be awaiting him on shore. But would his father be there? And if he is, would he be all right? Christopher and the young biologist, Feronica, hit the ground running. The search has begun.

Manual, 2039 The mysterious words of The Manual are final. So are father's. Abel, Judson, and Rune know they won't survive on this island without either. But when there's no food and little water...rules break easily. And father's idea to move back to the mainland seems nothing short of suicide. Stay? Go? seem minor quibbles when pushed up against Will we still remain a family?
