When Isherwood Williams retreats to his mountain cabin for solitude, he expects peace, not the end of civilization. After a rattlesnake bite leaves him feverish and near death, he awakens to a silent world. Towns are empty, radios static, and the few he encounters are already dead. Somehow, he has survived the pandemic that ended humanity.
Alone among the ruins, Ish must rediscover what it means to live, to lead, and to rebuild. As the years pass and a new generation rises, his vision for humanity’s rebirth becomes both his greatest hope and deepest burden.
Earth Abides holds 4.4 stars on Amazon and 3.9 on Goodreads. Soon to be a major series on MGM+, this classic novel remains a profound exploration of civilization, survival, and legacy.
