After the Parch by Sheldon Greene

Author Sheldon Greene pulls readers into a post-collapse prophecy of America with his stark and cautionary novel, After the Parch. Half a century in the future, the United States has dissolved and resilient pioneers of the ensuing chaos seek little more than stability and safety in a dry and burned-out world, as a young man journeys through California to secure land and hope for the future of his small clan of survivors in the face of perpetual environmental exploitation. Bran’s wide-eyed wonder at the dangerous world before him gives this dystopian slice of on-the-road storytelling an original and authentic edge, for an entertaining and carefully crafted work of post-apocalyptic fiction.
