Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

"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
