The Savage Darkness — Scott B. Williams

A DEVASTATING ATTACK BY RUTHLESS MARAUDERS HAS FORCED MITCH HENLEY AND HIS BAND OF SURVIVORS INTO THE PRIMITIVE When the remote Henley homestead is burned to the ground in a brutal attack, Mitch and his friends bury their dead and move to a river bottom hideaway where survival becomes a struggle against raw nature. Having lost most of their tools and supplies, they are soon faced with a crisis that requires that which can only be found among the remnants of a ruined civilization. Taking one companion with him, Mitch embarks on a perilous, but necessary quest into dangers unknown. The others wait, wondering if he will return, while in his absence an unexpected visitor to the ruins of the Henley farm tracks them to their wilderness refuge. The Savage Darkness is the forth book in The Darkness After Series, set in the same desperate, grid-down post-EMP world as the author's Pulse Series.
