About the book: year / THE BEGINNING OF THE END. APOCALYPSE: Nuclear fallout destroyed all life on the planet, with the exception of several thousand people who took refuge in underground bunkers around the globe. And now, after thirteen long years, we were finally able to return to the surface and begin to rebuild. We thought we were alone. We have never been so wrong. Before the fallout, scientists were working on creating an anti-radiation vaccine (ARV). The first two attempts failed, but despite incomplete tests and disappointing results, the government approved and distributed the third serum to the masses, aiming to help those who were homeless. And it worked. The vaccine saved the lives of those who remained at the top, but they changed and mutated. We were completely outnumbered by this new and infectious threat. Now we need to do more than just restore our planet. We'll have to fight for her. My name is Abigail Park. I'm seventeen years old and this is my story.
