    About this ebook

    It seems too good to be true--a mysterious tarp city on a mountain in Utah. But Utah means Russell and Tanner have drifted too far west. But at least they've survived. But something doesn't feel right about this place, Russell says. And the face eaters are coming again, and it's worse than it's ever been. Find out what happens next in the exciting part 3 of the post-apocalyptic story, THE RAIN.

    BLURB:
    Exposure, pruned hands, and infection. But since, Rapid City, it’s the face eaters too. And the crack in the canoe that’s growing. And the ice I think I see on the water. Russell thinks it’s my imagination.

    We cling to the last strips of the veneer. And each other.
    There are a lot of stories about how the rain started.

    The thing that always comes to mind first isn’t the how though, it’s the how much. Russell still does the math too: 15, 5,400, and 8,550. 15 inches a day, 5,400 a year, and 8,550 feet since the start.

    We have no idea if it’s accurate. But it’s important to think about it, he says, because it reminds us to keep moving. I’m Tanner. Russell plucked me from the rain when I was two.

    Fourteen years ago we left Philadelphia. As the water rose, we moved west, hoping the elevation would keep us warm and dry. Pittsburg, Indianapolis, Sioux Falls, Rapid City. Now we’re stranded on the islands in Wyoming. Russell thinks they used to be the Bighorn mountains. But we can’t go back now. There’s no warm and there’s no dry anymore. Just a rumor about a place where it isn't raining. So we’re going to try to make it—520 miles south to Leadville. But we can’t drift east, the Great Plains have become waterspout alley, a raging tomb of moving water.

    Together we push on, surviving, heading to Leadville. But something is wrong with him now. He says it’s nothing. But his breathing doesn’t sound that way.

      Imagine years of rain with no relief!The Rain is a series of novelettes, each one only a couple chapters long. It is the story of a man and a boy trying to survive in the post-apocalyptic time period where everything is covered in water and all it does is rain. They are in search of a town in Colorado rumored to be the only dry land in the United States. They are constantly being chased by “Face Eaters”, cannibals. Their key to survival is to not trust or care for anyone else. Is this what our future holds? The series is very sad, but addictive. I received the first three parts together free, and I had no choice but to purchase book four to see what happens next. And yes, I will purchase book 5.
