I'm taking a brief turn away from Young Adult fiction to discuss "Year One" by Nora Roberts, a contemporary romance. But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of all those who remain. In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either a savage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, or why. And Rachel and Jonah, a resourceful doctor and a paramedic who fend off despair with their determination to keep a young mother and three infants in their care alive.


Fred, her young colleague, possessed of burgeoning abilities and an optimism that seems out of place in this bleak landscape. Arlys, a journalist who has lost her audience but uses pen and paper to record the truth. Chuck, a tech genius trying to hack his way through a world gone offline. At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a new frontier. Some of it is unimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnels beneath the river-or in the ones you know and love the most.Īs word spreads that neither the immune nor the gifted are safe from the authorities who patrol the ravaged streets, and with nothing left to count on but each other, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New York City. Worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max.
