John Tietjen loves New York City like life itself. But while he's out of town at a conference, confused reports come out of the city. Millions of refugees are streaming out, each bearing contradictory tales of fire, earthquake, explosions, collapse.Making his perilous way back, he gathers a few survivors and establishes a shelter. But the full nature of the catastrophe is still unclear. As he re-homesteads the city he loves, and wonders whether help from outside will ever come, John will come face-to-face with the terrible truth, and with his unique chance to redeem it.

"Robins writes with rare conviction....Just when you begin to realize exactly what has happened to New York, you also begin to understand that what you are reading is not a proper disaster story at all, but a love story -- about love lost and found, and the price to be paid when people ignore the human disasters in their midst".The New York Times Book Review
New York City is hit by a mysterious catastrophe while John Tietjen is out of town attending a conference. Millions of refugees are streaming out, bearing contradictory tales of fire, earthquake, explosion, collapse. But amid the confusion, John has a unique chance to redeem the tragedy.
