Описание: Bay and Nathan are high-school students in the mountain town of Hailey, Idaho, and they are falling in love in the early autumn of their senior year. Bay is fascinated by local history and collects stories from older residents of the town, but no one shares her passion. Nathan, at six-foot six inches, towers over his close friends, Taki and Nick. Nathan has just turned 18. He is being raised by his mom, Carol, a nurse. His stepfather, Brock, is enraged that Nathans interest lies in science rather than basketball. He is studying fairy shrimp, and classmates call him Shrimp to mock him. One day while flyfishing along an old Jeep road, Nathan and his friends discover a ghost town, Silvertop. Nathan tracks down the owner and gains a share of the property for himself. A friend of Carols, Frank, tells her to prepare a secret place and stash food and supplies, because he has special knowledge that terrible times are coming soon. Carol and Nathan take Franks advice and begin to stockpile supplies at the farm. Then Carol mysteriously disappears after an argument with Brock, when she refuses to sell the family farm, Skeleton Creek, leased to a family raising four boys. Carol and Nathan take Franks advice and begin to stockpile supplies at the farm. Nathan and Bay search for her, and Nathan is nearly killed by someone with a rifle. Bay and Nathan grow closer as they search for Carol. Nathan finds out that before her disappearance, Carol visited a lawyer and signed the farm over to Nathan. Carols car, empty but bloodstained, is found in the bottom of a canyon. Nathan and Taki go on a final camping trip before the mountain roads become impassible, and when they return to Hailey, they find fire, corpses, and empty homes and streets. Nathan cannot find Bay, but he does find the attorney, Stan Chambers, and his friend Nick. They hide out at the farm. The world has changed. Communications are down. Hospitals and stores have been emptied by soldiers, and Nathan has no idea what is happening or why. But Bay has managed to send Nathan a text message that she has been taken to Twin Falls, 80 miles away, on a bus with many others, to a motel there. Nathan and his friends go to the motel and find notes that Bay has left behind, and track her to a chicken factory farm about an hours drive distant. Meanwhile, Bay and her best friend Barb find themselves processing chickens with several other women, under guard, supervised by a woman called Big Anna. Nathan, Taki, and Stan find the chicken farm and attempt to rescue Bay, but the attempt fails when outsiders raid the farm and engage in a firefight with the soldiers. They rescue one boy from the chicken farm, and they flee in Nathans Jeep. Bays friend Barb is killed in the firefight. Winter closes in. The story will be continued in the next volume.
