New York Times best seller 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 18-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 love, 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.
