The LAST TRAIN — John Cline

The Last Train is a harrowing journey seen through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old girl as she flees New York in a time of chaos and violent anarchy in America. Her undying will and incredible courage propel her on a journey north up the Hudson River Valley, hoping to find trains that have been ferrying people to safe zones. Helped by some, hunted by others, buffeted by a series of shattering events, she remains determined to make it -- against increasingly dangerous odds. As she does she is haunted by flashbacks, both poignant and horrifying, of her family enduring the unraveling of their life, and as the world around them dissolved into social disorder. The Last Train is a thrilling story that captures the zeitgeist of our times.
