After a long, deadly nuclear winter, spring has finally come to Flagstaff, but food reserves are critical. Dozens die of malnutrition every day. If more food canтАЩt be grown, the city wonтАЩt survive another year.
Fortunately, help is on the way. The remnants of the U.S. Army in Mexico have promised Flagstaff security, but thereтАЩs a catch: the Army needs food, too. Lots of it.
Jenn is already starving. Her friends and family are starving. Desperate to save them, she joins a mission to find seed and farmland in Phoenix. With the window for planting almost closed, every day is crucial, but the desert isnтАЩt empty. Little does she know, her world is about to get a whole lot biggerтАФand more dangerous.
A Second Beginning is the sixth book in David Lucin's Desolation series.
I hail from the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. After spending much of my twenties studying the British Army in the First World War, I gave up on academia and began writing fiction. Nowadays, I'm a husband, a father, a pet owner, and the commissioner of my fantasy baseball league (though sadly not its champion).
