New York Times bestseller David Arnold's most ambitious novel to
date; Station Eleven meets The 5th Wave in a genre-smashing story of
survival, hope, and love amid a ravaged earth.
When a deadly Fly Flu sweeps the globe, it leaves a shell of the world
that once was. Among the survivors are eighteen-year-old Nico and her
dog, on a voyage devised by Nico's father to find a mythical portal; a
young artist named Kit, raised in an old abandoned cinema; and the
enigmatic Deliverer, who lives Life after Life in an attempt to put the
world back together. As swarms of infected Flies roam the earth, these
few survivors navigate the woods of post-apocalyptic New England,
meeting others along the way, each on their own quest to find life and
love in a world gone dark. The Electric Kingdom is a sweeping
exploration of art, storytelling, eternal life, and above all, a
testament to the notion that even in an exterminated world, one person
might find beauty in another.
