The Last City

The world ended two years ago, when something old came out from under the Antarctic ice. Billions died. The dead stood up. In the ruins of San Francisco, an ex-soldier keeps sixty-three people alive by sheer discipline of calm. He doesn't remember his own name. He'll find it the way he finds everything -- by paying attention to what's already there. Then a woman runs across a ruined bridge in the fog -- the daughter of the general who killed the world. Raised inside the fortress, raised on the story that what her father did was salvation. She stopped believing it three years ago. She just hasn't had anywhere to go. Her father offers medicine, food, walls, a future. The price is silence. What do you do when the person you're falling in love with carries the name of the end of everything?
