In today's chaotic world, many wonder how we will survive a true natural disaster. For Jason Black, a man's word is crucial after the destruction east of the Rocky Mountains where gas stations, grocery stores, homes and neighbors are gone. The few who survived live in desperation. Bound by his word 'the others' and to his brother, the special ops trained ex-marine, leaves his new bride in the relative safety of Utah to return to the ravaged land. The perilous journey leads him into a dangerous firestorm and a battle against desperate wildlife and lethal survivors. The sequel, Return to Devastation, is a realistic end of the world account with an absence of aliens, strange creatures and doomsday despots, just real people enduring a hopeless existence.
