Thunder and ashes
\"A lot can change in three months: Wars can be decided, nations can be forged...or entire species can be brought to the brink of annihilation. The Morningstar virus has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. It hosts rampage; its victims don't die, but are reborn as cannibalistic shamblers. Scattered across the world, embattled groups have persevered. For some, survival is the pinnacle of achievement. Others hoard goods and weapons. And still others leverage power over the remnants of humanity with a mysterious cure. Francis Sherman and Anna Demilio want only a vaccine, but to find it they must cross a ravaged landscape of the infected and the lawless living. The bulk of the storm has passed, leaving echoing thunder and softly drifting ashes. But for the survivors, the peril remains, and the search for a cure is just beginning...\"--P. [4] of cover.

When I use a word . . . . Fictional drugs in dystopian fiction
I define fictional drugs as non-existent medicines, intended for human use, invented for the purposes of some forms of fiction, usually novels, but also plays or films, including TV dramas. Fictional drugs feature in many different types of speculative fiction, including science fiction, fantasy, and utopian and dystopian fiction. Examples of dystopian fiction that feature fictional drugs include The Inner House by Walter Besant (1888), Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (2003), Gun, With Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem (1994), Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (1996), and White Noise by Don DeLillo (1985). The drugs they describe variously promote entertaining hallucinations, prolong life indefinitely, protect against all known sexually transmitted diseases, provide an unlimited supply of libido and sexual prowess, and remove the fear-of-death. They are not, however, free from adverse effects.
