Endemic by Robert Chazz Chute
When civilization falls, what's a nerdy book editor to do?
Rise to rule all as queen, of course.
"Endemic is an adventure novel with plenty of innovative survival strategies and high-stakes battles to keep those pages turning. But even more than that, it's about a misunderstood woman's journey out of isolation and cynicism."
~ Jendi Reiter, North Street Book Prize judge
A cruel neurological virus erases everything we know. As marauders take over New York, Ovid Fairweather must evolve from introverted book editor to urban farmer. Fate will demand she carve out a brave destiny for herself and the children she protects.
This riveting novel won first place in Genre Fiction from the North Street Book Prize, and first place in Science Fiction at both the New York Book Festival and the Hollywood Book Festival.
