2047: and for sixty years America has been quarantined after a devastating nuclear attack.
Seventeen-year-old Henry wants to help make America great again. Like it was before all the bombs went off. But for the people of Onofre Valley, on the coast of California, just surviving is challenge enough. Living simply on what the sea and land can provide, they strive to preserve what knowledge and skills they can in a society without mass communications. Then one day the world comes to Henry, in the shape of two men who say they represent the new American resistance. And Henry and his friends are drawn into an adventure that will mark the end of their childhood...
"Simply one of our best writers"
GENE WOLFE
"Robinson's writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre"
PUBLSIHERS WEEKLY
"Robinson's Orange County books form a multi-faceted reflection of the fears and desires of their age, our age – they make their market-place competitors look trivial"
