Leaving The Trees

LEAVING THE TREES describes the meltdown of our global society as we know it. Just as we see in the press today, it has at its root cause the political and societal dysfunction that finally causes everything to spin out of control. Civilization collapses. Survivors, led by an ex-military leader in the mountains of Montana, must try to survive. It is initially set in Washington D.C. with political leaders who do not deal effectively with a cyber attack on our financial systems. As things begin to unravel, and society loses the ability to cope, things just stop working. At this point the novel sharply transitions to the future and the aftermath of this global financial meltdown. The last two thirds of the book focuses on how a small community in Montana must pick up the pieces and learn how to survive, with what they have left and how they must live. The battle for survival centers on food. It is a suspense novel about trust, deception, betrayal and revenge that is filled with many twists, and turns.
