One of my favorite apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic books, along with The Stand, Swan Song, New Madrid Run, Plague Year, Mother of Storms, and Earth Abides. This is a fine read about different groups of people surviving and coping after major earthquakes hit the Mississippi River basin. It deals with the ideas that I like best in a PA novel: "What what you do to survive in the face of a breakdown in society?"
