The only thing deadlier than the air is the people breathing it.
Sadie can perceive what others cannot. A rare and hazardous gift, it is one she would rather not possess, as its price is great suffering.
Wandering the wastelands of a ruined Earth plagued by gangs and Cling—an affliction which shortens the human lifespan to a mere few decades—Sadie’s hope to find a slice of utopia fades.
When an act of desperation in a reckless moment sets her on the run from a vicious warlord, her flight leads to a mysterious boy who seems to hold the answers to Sadie’s salvation. If she will use her gift to help his community, he vows to share the location of a tunnel deep beneath the ground—a tunnel revealed to Sadie in a fever dream as the key to defeating her pursuers.
But when Sadie enters the tunnel, what she discovers plunges the boy’s community into unimaginable peril. Fortunately, Sadie has a few tricks up her sleeve—and an old acquaintance with a notorious set of skills who just may agree to join the fray.
“Though post-apocalyptic novels set in a Mad Max–like landscape aren’t new, Menapace and Bravo make this hard-bitten world come alive ... elevates the genre with snappy writing, well-drawn characters, intriguing back story, and bracing battles.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Thumbs up...stands out as one of the best post-apocalyptic novels I've read." - J. Chambers, Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer

Cling is a post-apocalyptic survival story and a departure from my dark thrillers (though there are some dark scenes of course!)
That being said, I hope you agree with reviewer Robin Wright's verdict: "Jeff Menapace made a decision to step out of his comfort zone in horror thrillers and HE NAILED IT!" (Thanks, Robin!)
