The Ocean in the Fire - Paperback

by Renee N. Meland (Author)

Doomsday 'prepper' Connor Holloway and his family live a life of isolation in their apocalypse-ready compound, and he prefers it that way. After being driven out of his small town by rumors and cruelty, he has no interest in integrating back into society. But when a pandemic hits the United States, there is only one place the townspeople can go if they want to live: his doorstep. He knows his chance for revenge has arrived when he realizes one important truth-he now has the power to decide who lives and who dies. But vengeance always comes at a price, and Connor's may cost him everything. The Ocean in the Fire is a story about one man's journey of self-discovery during the end of the world. As Connor begins to see the darker parts of himself, he begins to question whether the existence he chose for his family was motivated by love, or by something far less noble. And as he searches for redemption, he wonders if it may always be just out of reach.
