At one time, I was known as James S. Fitzgerald, Petty Officer Furst-Class, United States Coast Guard. I came down with the killer virus that killed nearly everyone on earth, but I didn't die. After my cross-country journey in Book #1, "After The Last Virus," I had found a comfortable life in a small northwestern town. That is, until I heard a radio call from some fellow coasties, pleading for help. They were stuck on an Aleutian island in Alaska. Suddenly, I found myself facing my "Next Challenge.".
