Aside from the scavengers steadily stripping the empty city to its bones, only a few thousand people remain, content to live quietly among the crumbling metropolis. Many, like the narrator, are there to try to escape the demons of their past. He spends his time observing and recording the decay around him, attempting to bury memories of what he has lost. But it eventually becomes clear that things are unraveling elsewhere as well, as strangers, violent and desperate alike, begin to appear in the North End, spreading word of social and political deterioration in the South End and beyond. Faced with a growing disruption to his isolated life, the narrator discovers within himself a surprising need to resist losing the home he has created in this empty place. He and the rest of the citizens of the North End must choose whether to face outsiders as invaders or welcome them as neighbors."--Jacket flap. 650 0 Cities and towns|vFiction. 650 0 Climatic changes|vFiction. 650 0 Future, The|vFiction. 655 7 Science fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Apocalyptic fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Dystopian fiction.|2lcgft 994 C0|bCKE
