description: They helped destroy the world. Now they have to survive the new one.Nico Fernndez has a charmed life. Working as a high-end escort in his mother's agency beats the hell out of being trafficked for slave wages in some corporate brothel. And no one needs to know about his occasional side jobs like seducing political and military dignitaries and nudging them with mind-altering agents to swing their votes to favor his longest-standing client.Zach Houtman's life should be charmed but isn't. His father the Reverend Maurice Houtman in pursuit of political aspirations insists Zach act as his advisor rather than indulging in his true calling: ministering to the most vulnerable outcasts of society. Politics however gradually turn Zach's father away from Christ and toward malicious zealotry and Zach discovers his campaign is courting violent fundamentalists.When one of Nico's special jobs results in military approval for a weaponized virus that mutates unleashing a deadly plague to claim billions of lives Nico and Zach are thrown together. Each burdened by terrible guilt for their unwitting roles in the calamity they find safety and solace in each other. But the new world is a dangerous violent place where the handful of survivors are willing to do anything and kill anyone to get by.
