A thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip, this story hits the ground running and never lets up. I loved that the main character was just a regular guy trying to get back to his wife and kids. He’s not prepared for the apocalypse, but his devotion to his family keeps him going.

From Linda's list on post-apocalyptic stories that don’t lose hope.
