Ashes and Dust — Jeremy Bishop

With the latest shift, the inhabitants of Refuge, New Hampshire find themselves in the charred, desolate landscape of a burned out, husk of a world. Using weapons recovered from the National Guard depot, Sheriff Helena Frost begins to organize the survivors into armed units ready to defend the town.



But the mystery woman known as Sally Field, cracks under the pressure of constant and strange danger. Out of her mind, she makes a run for the town's border and into the new, dead landscape surrounding them. While Griffin Butler goes in search of Renford Ellison, the elusive multi-millionaire scientist, Frost, along with Pastor Kenneth Dodge, leads a team to recover the woman and bring her back to safety.



Beyond the town border, Frost makes a startling discovery--this new world was not always a dry, dusty ruin. Something burned it, and Frost and her group are about to find out what.



Can Frost get her people safely back to town, or will the denizens of this blighted world forever add their bodies to the ashes and dust?
