I have now begun the second novel of my trilogy. I plan to start where the first novel left off. The world continues to deteriorate as the flu virus has wiped out the population leaving scavanging for survival. Michael, now reunited with his family at their "safe" retreat, must continue to fortify their territory. Unfortunately, a large gang (2000+ members) is moving from the east coast inland, destroying everything in their path. I plan to make this group cannibilistic. They will capture the main character and a close friend. He must watch as the gang kills and then dismembers his friend. He eventually escapes, but the ordeal has completely devastated him. Finally returning to base camp, he finds that it has been attacked and nothing is left. Assuming (falsely) that his entire family and girlfriend has been killed, Michael descends into a darkness that he can't break free from. The rest of the book will be about him struggling in that darkness, and finally emerging from it, and being reunited with his family. In the meantime, there will be a epic ending battle between the gang of cannibals and another fanatic tyrant group with Michael and his family caught in the middle.
