Blurb (from Amazon): "The stunning debut novel from the star of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build a new world?"
Opinion: Did not even know that he had written anything. Been a fan since "Reading Rainbow" and after meeting him, I wanted to check out the books that are mentioned in his book club. Wasn't quite sure what I was getting into when picking it up. Reminded me of a much shorter version of "The Stand" by King and something else that I can't put a name to. Overall, a pretty enjoyable book with very different characters all coming together.
