Blood Crazy Aten In Absentia - Clark Simon

THREE YEARS AGO, EVERYONE OVER THE AGE OF NINETEEN BECAME MURDEROUSLY INSANE.

THEY BEGAN KILLING - ESPECIALLY THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

AND NOW THE NIGHTMARE VISION OF A WORLD DESCENDING INTO BRUTAL VIOLENCE CONTINUES.

Beleaguered settlements of young people fight to stay alive in a world of increasingly scarce food and fuel. Crazed adults still roam a dangerous landscape. They are pathologically hardwired to eradicate young people...

Jack Ranzic returns from a search for supplies to find that his village has been attacked by the Creosotes. His friends lie dead on snow-covered fields. Jack discovers his best friend, Gorron, has survived the carnage yet is suffering from a mystery illness.

Jack is faced with not only escaping the dangerous adults but finding somewhere safe to live in in a perilous world. In an old industrial complex, he encounters an individual that Nick Aten knew well, and who will join him on this savage journey. And another shadowy figure is looking for Jack - an extraordinary survivor from his childhood past.

Jack and his friends will face adventures and danger. They will be besieged by thousands of murderous adults. But it gets worse...the adults are transforming...changing into something utterly different.

GET THIS MESSAGE INTO YOUR HEAD.

YOU, TOO, STILL HAVE A MONSTER TO KILL.

NO, MY FRIEND, WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET.
