Thirty years after The Great Fatigue infected the globe--and the
treatment regressed most of the human race to a primitive state--Seth
Keller makes a gruesome discovery in his adoptive father's makeshift
lab. This revelation forces him to leave the safety of his desert home
and the only other person left in the world...at least, as far as he
knows.
Three thousand miles away in the jungles of Costa Rica, Sarah Peoples
has made her own discovery--just as horrific, and just as life-changing.
It will take her far from the fledgling colony of New Haven, yet never
out of reach of its ruthless authoritarian leader.
On separate journeys a world apart, Seth and Sarah find themselves swept
up in a deadly race to save humankind. Their fates will come crashing
together in an epic struggle between good and evil, where the
differences aren't always clear. Among the grim realities of
civilization's demise, they discover that the remaining survivors may
pose an even greater threat than the abominations they were taught to
fear.
Fighting for their lives, they're confronted with a haunting question.
Does humanity deserve to survive?
Primitives, the first book of this saga, is a tale of bravery and
self-discovery found in the ruins of a dying world, where the darkest
sides of human nature are revealed.
