About This Book

A solitary man emerges from a cave with a young dog and finds the countryside and city emptied of life; vehicles stand frozen and people and animals lie cold and motionless. He moves through villages and deserted streets, driven by hunger, fear, and a numbed disbelief as he searches for answers and supplies. In an abandoned newspaper office he reads a typewritten fragment that suggests an unseen, odorless cause. The tale traces his practical efforts to survive amid profound isolation and explores the eerie aftermath of a sudden, invisible catastrophe and the persistence of small human attachments.
