Aprašymas

A Stroll down Memory Lane A Rush for the Exits A Race for Freedom and Survival "Another great story of moral revelation, despair, and redemption by a contemporary master." --Lawrence Russell, author of Outlaw Academic Shattered by the death of his wife, Doyle Mere returns to San Francisco, his wife's hometown and the city he used to know and love. But when Doyle is robbed--twice in one day--he realizes that he has to adapt to an unfamiliar world consumed by flash floods, wildfires, drought, power failure and social collapse. After his initial setback, Doyle finds comfort with neighbors in a restored Victorian mansion. Together they befriend a wayward artist whose daughter carries a secret that will soon test everyone's courage and grit. But is their bond strong enough to overcome the impending crisis? When the chaos threatens to strike at the core of this new-found tribe, Doyle must call upon his twin sons to save them all. Exit from America is a coiled-up, character-driven novel set in a world on the brink of disaster. Balanced on the edge of suspense and psycho-drama, the novel portrays five disparate souls trying to escape the pending collapse before they are buried in its ruins. "The writing is extremely good ... an exquisitely crafted novel. Reminiscent of The Unbearable Lightness of Being." -- Aaron C. Brown, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer
