Following a series of cataclysmic natural disasters in the space of just a few weeks, one-half of America plunges back into the Pioneer era. With no functioning economy, law or order, utilities, healthcare or food supplies, the population East of the Mississippi collapses into chaos. Half of America is now a devastated wasteland with millions dying, starving or fleeing to the West. To protect themselves against this flood of refugees, states West of the Mississippi use the river as a security barrier, creating a 'Berlin Wall' that divides America. Five years after what became known as 'The Collapse', the small community of French Creek in Kentucky has adjusted to 19th-century living. They have survived the worst. Or so they thought. Until a group of strangers appear and begin disrupting their peaceful community. Now forced to confront murderous coyotes who traffic desperate people across to the West, the inhabitants of French Creek are made to face some deadly alternatives. French Creek is a fast-paced thriller that invites the reader to consider the realities of a post-apocalyptic America. How would people manage if thrown back to a time before the conveniences of the 21st century? What would happen if half of the country turned its back on its fellow Americans?
