Book V of The Seafort Saga. A guilt-ridden politician, an earnest young boy, a sick old man eking out a living in the broken streets -- can they alone stop humanity from destroying itself in urban Armageddon? In a divided world, wealthy citizens look down from skytop eyries to crumbling streets where the urban poor grow ever more desperate. As war brews, brilliant young Philip Seafort -- only son of the tormented hero Nicholas Seafort -- plunges into the bowels of the city to find his lost friend. Humanity is about to destroy itself. Children are in the line of fire. And a father with an iron will is at Ground Zero... Cover art by Stephen Youll.
