<p><strong>Four hundred years ago, missiles fell from the sky like rain.</strong> Ninety-nine percent of humanity perishes in fire and water. For those that&nbsp;survived the rolling firestorms and mountain-sized rogue waves, the&nbsp;radiation set in. Hunting and attacking every living cell, always searching,&nbsp;always waiting in the water, and the air and lurking in the soil. Small&nbsp;pockets of humans evolved to live with the radiation and even thrive within&nbsp;its presence. To survive, communities searched and traded for DNA resistant&nbsp;to radiation.&nbsp;</p><p>Batal Spartan travels from the fortress island of Skye Stone&nbsp;off the coast of northern Africa to the Hiroshima archipelago in search of a&nbsp;woman from his past who has chosen him as her partner. All Batal must&nbsp;do, is evade the Northern Horde hunting his group, survive the creatures of&nbsp;the sea, prove his worth to her, and her clan and make it back to Skye Stone alive.</p>
