The Children of Icarus (Chronicles of the Collapse, Book 5)

For Nathan's group, things looked at their lowest.

Though they had escaped the clutches of the slavers, it had not been without cost. A number of their own were dead at the slaver's hands or gone, kidnapped by Colonel Ryerson's men, including Nathan himself.
Hiding in Albertville, with their compound now under the control of the Fortuna militia, the survivors rest and lick their wounds. Wounds which, alarmingly, appear to include the return of the dreaded Cough, the very cause of the Collapse itself. A disease to which several of their number have no immunity.

But any respite will be short for, as always, there are forces at work in the city which they barely understand. Forces which have their own agenda for the remains of the group.

And what of Nathan? Hauled away along with Jason by Ryerson's men, what has become of him?

His companions mount a mission to try to find Ryerson's base and rescue the two men but, unbeknownst to them, both Nathan and Jason are far beyond their reach.

Very far indeed....
