A Broken World [Paperback] / Andrew Lauck. 2020. 327 p. ; 6" x 9". After losing everything in a viral outbreak in Chicago, Eric’s journal chronicles his journey to find civilization in a desolate world where chaos reigns and the line between good and evil is blurred. He soon crosses paths with a young woman named Katherine, who he begrudgingly takes on as a companion, and together they struggle to survive against cannibals with a creative taste for entertainment, a rogue military group, and the ever-present threat of infection where death is just the beginning. Armed with a dark sense of humor and a Special Forces background, Eric’s survival skills will be put to the test to keep himself and Katherine, who he begins to think of as a daughter, from the shared fate of so many. Encountering horrors beyond imagination and facing extreme decisions where a wrong move could cost your life or the life of someone else, Eric will find out just how far he is willing to go to stay alive and protect those he cares about. Before long, though, he soon realizes the harsh reality that the greatest danger of all in a broken world is the fight to keep his humanity. Author. 20230427.
