Just your average boy meets girl, world goes insane, girl saves boy--but boy loses girl . . . and boy becomes a machination of vengeance, love story. "While there has been an indulgence of post-apocalyptic works in recent years, Nia delivers a breath of fresh air to the genre by addressing race-relations in the Lone Star State. Like the best work of Richard Matheson or Ray Bradbury, Nia uses the genre's conventions to address serious issues in ways that realism cannot." -Texas Books in Review
