Goodreads Synopsis:
Alessandra is Struggling at the End of the World Along with the rest of a North Georgia town that survived a deadly worldwide plague, Michael’s forced to wear a steel ring around his waist wherever he goes to enforce strict social distancing. He’s seen cohabitation banned. Marriages dissolved. Families torn apart. But he’s a good soldier, supporting the leader’s draconian policies — until he learns an explosive secret about her that threatens to destroy the delicate balance they’ve achieved between safety and order. Now, Michael must enlist help to confront the awful truth about the town of Alessandra, and the fate of what may be the last human colony on Earth before he’s silenced by the people who don’t want anyone to know what they’ve done. Written in 2016 but seemingly ripped from the COVID-19 headlines of today, the story looks at the psychology of pandemic-forced isolation and the corruption of ultimate power. The Solitary Apocalypse is a fast-paced thriller that examines what happens when the world shrinks and power consolidates into the hands of the few, with a vast, empty, uncaring world the only alternative to submission.
