The End was just the beginning of the struggle to survive....The turmoil that Gordon and his family dealt with in the first 6 weeks will seem trivial, as they now are outside the gates of Rancho Valentino. The journey to Idaho will show them and their small group how far civilization has deteriorated in a very short time. The family's sanity will be bitterly tested, as challenges along the way will shake them to their core.Sebastian, now free has been deposited in a San Diego unrecognizable to him. The savagery of a people fighting for limited resources comes into stark relief as he navigates the deadly roads in search of his brother. Along the way he will discover that some still hold the torch of civility and hope for a better tomorrow. With the presumed death of President Connor, Vice President Cruz must lead the fledgling federal government out of the bunker of Cheyenne Mountain and towards a new purpose of revitalizing the United States, but this will come with great cost and difficulty as tough choices will have to be made.Col. Barone's grief at the loss of his son has changed him. No longer does he feel constrained by the "old" code of conduct he once pledged himself to. He now leads a powerful force of over 4,000 well-armed Marines to settle not just a new country but also a score against those he thinks have wronged him.One thing that is certain: "The Long Road" will take its toll on all of them.
