Description
The Walls Between Us
If all the nation’s power suddenly shut down, there would be no electricity, no water, no phones, no internet. Akeno suddenly faces the nation’s blackout alone, doubtful of what to do next, until he meets Sam, a charismatic, young woman intent on surviving. The two partner up when a paramilitary invades campus, driving Akeno and Sam into the wider community, where they face the societal dangers of a chaotic nation. Survival will be harder than they realized.
