In the Drift

In the Drift

<b>The “shocking [and] powerful” classic of postapocalyptic terror by the Nebula Award–winning author of <i>The Iron Dragon’s Daughter </i>(<i>New York Daily News</i>).</b><br />  <br /> It’s been one hundred years since Three Mile Island went into full meltdown, filling the atmosphere with a radioactive poison that would contaminate the skies for hundreds of generations. Since then, the area around the island—now known as the Drift—has been a wasteland of disease and deformity, madness and monsters. It’s been one hundred years since humanity knew what order and hope were.<br />  <br /> The Drift has a law unto itself—one of vampires and mutants and outcasts left to struggle for daily survival. Within its bounds, the simplest act—even asking the wrong questions—can mean death. Or worse.<br />  <br /> Praised by George R. R. Martin as “a potent new myth from the reality of radioactive waste,” <i>In the Drift</i> is an inventive and unsettling look at the lives of those who are left to deal with the fallout of a nuclear disaster—a towering work of postapocalyptic fiction that provokes conversation and consideration even as it produces nightmares.
