Acharon can prepare for the worst. But can he survive it? He and Sovelet have barely made it out of San Francisco alive. Now, they're heading east to join the enclave in New York city. It is the last bastion of human existence in the Western Hemisphere. From there, they'll cross the Atlantic by boat. In Paris, they'll join all that remains of the human race. But the journey has its own plans. Damage to the monorail system requires a detour. Acharon had planned for that possibility. What he hadn't planned for was nature once more dead-set on killing him. He certainly had no plans for what came shortly after. Acharon and Sovelet have made a startling discovery. A discovery that doesn't wish to be known. Now, Acharon must carry the weight of that secret into New York city. The weight is exacerbated his personal fears. How will it affect the enclave? More importantly, how will it affect Sovelet? In Last Dance, Acharon faces his own worst fear. Will he overcome it? Or is he doomed to fail?
