Isaac Race is fifteen years old when a weaponized virus wipes out most of the adult population of North America. He discovers the virus is a biological weapon and that the United States is under invasion, forcing him to grow up fast. Over the course of the After Days Trilogy, he leads a group of young survivors through occupied territory in search of safety.
By the time the America Falls series begins, Isaac is older and hardened by years of survival. He guides survivors on a 250-mile trek through a brutal east coast winter toward a haven in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. As the series expands into invasion, civil war, and reconstruction, Isaac remains the central figure — a young man who never had the chance to be anything other than a leader in a world that no longer has room for childhood.
