Jack survived the battle with the Takers in Book One of the Apocalypse in Eden series. Now, he and his motley crew of companions are headed back to Eden, Texas, seeking the whereabouts of Jack's father. Along the way they encounter other survivors; some friendly, some decidedly unfriendly. And they find more Takers. Lots more Takers. But nothing can prepare them for what they will find when they follow instructions to go to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. It will be a miracle if anyone survives this time.
