Clouds Before Rain

Clouds Before Rain is the exciting prequel to The Best Dark Rain. This gripping novella sets the stage for an epic post-apocalyptic adventure. The world is dying a swift death, and the city of Seattle is dying along with it. Panicked citizens flee the wave of death, only to die on the clogged highways. Those unable to flee remain trapped in the city. A handful of survivors remain amongst the deadly ruins. The feeble threads of society unravel as armed bands begin roaming the empty streets.

Not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands are not the only perils. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the tenuous refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O’Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.

Here on these dead streets a woman and a man must learn to fight. They bear weapons scavenged from the dead. Each of them carries the shadow of a past that could threaten their future. Bands of survivors coalesce around them, some murderous, some unlikely allies. Amidst the threat of hunters, and the dangers of trusting, Liz and Pat must battle for their lives. The stakes are high. They must protect their new-found love as well as their lives. To lose either means to face alone this horrific world.
