Prologue


The wolves would feast on his corpse soon.

He reached the top of a low hill and glanced over his right shoulder at
the pack of seven dark forms flitting through the forest. A shudder rippled
along his spine at the thought of their glistening teeth crunching into his
body. He gazed up at the afternoon sun, sweat caking his skin, then
hastened down the hill.

How much farther?

After coming so very, very far, after traveling hundreds of miles and
having survived encounters with scavengers, mutations, and wild beasts,
the idea that he might die brought tears of frustration to the corners of his
brown eyes.

Not now!

Not when he might be close to his goal!
 His weariness caused him to stumble over a limb lying on the ground in
his path. He maintained his balance with an effort and forged ahead, his
hands gripping his Winchester tightly, his knuckles white.

One bullet.

All he had left was one lousy bullet!

If worse came to worst, if he continued to weaken and the wolves made
their move, he could always use the last bullet on himself. At least he
wouldn't be eaten alive. The horror of dying alone, lost somewhere in the
wilderness of northwestern Minnesota, weighed heavily on his heart. The
fact that he had failed his loved ones, that a terrible fate would befall
themтАФif it hadn't alreadyтАФcontributed to his melancholy.
