The aftermath of the war to end all wars was being felt around the globe.
As nuclear fallout encircled the Earth like a blanket of death,
some perished while the living channeled their primal instincts to survive.
And it was just the beginning of a new horror …

The Nuclear Ice Age.

International bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to over two million readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

The skies darkened and the temperatures dropped. Intense firestorms spread across the Earth at each point where the bombs detonated. Fallen trees and homes had become the perfect kindling. Oil and natural gas reserves together with coal seams and peat bogs smoldered for many months. From the initial firestorm and the spread of smoke to the destruction of the Earth's ecosystem, all living things were beginning to perish.

The Bartlett family braved the open seas in search of a place to survive. The seemingly impossible journey led them to the South Atlantic off the coast of Argentina. A foreign land that only one member of the group was acquainted with. Would they be welcomed? Or would they be told to move along?

“Akart is one of those very rare authors who makes things so visceral, so real, that you experience what he writes.”

In less than an hour, nuclear warheads detonated across the Northern Hemisphere from the Far East to Russia to Europe to the United States killed millions. Now, the aftermath, nuclear winter, would kill billions. The day after the bombs dropped had become known as Day Zero. The beginning after the end. However, the Bartlett group would soon learn the threat of war had not ended. Their lives were much at risk from an enemy spreading its tentacles around the planet.
