Twenty years after a fascist billionaire assumes the presidency and wrecks the nation, urban rioting and currency crises ravage America, and democracy is on the verge of collapse. A small group of highly-placed officials concoct a plan to rescue it. They release a virus deadlier than Ebola in New Jersey and deny the vaccine to the poor and the ex-employed. Only six vials of the vaccine remain outside government control, and two unlikely heroes discover it: a neurotic shut-in who is afraid of dust bunnies, and a brilliant but unstable girl who could save the world - or destroy it. As they escape across a pillaged and polluted America, they're pursued by a Federal assassin, a man who can only live if they die.

The Abominae were mankind’s only true predators. Vicious, strong and intelligent, the Mordyra and Canavars lusted for human flesh. After 500 years, the Uhlans hunted them to extinction. But now they're back and they have a queen who is ruthless, ambitious, and plans to raise the Abominae from extinct apex predators to rulers in a new world order. People will not just live under the thumb of the formerly living—they will be cattle.

Most predators just want to eat you. The Abominae want to farm you.

It was supposed to be quick trip in the country with dear old auntie - to recover a lost nuclear trigger hidden deep inside a theocratic wasteland. What could go wrong?
