Three years after the pandemic known as The Manfall, governments still hold and life continues -- but a world run by women isn't always a better place.\u003c\/i\u003e Twelve-year-old Miles is one of the last boys alive, and his mother, Cole, will protect him at all costs. On the run after a horrific act of violence-and pursued by Cole's own ruthless sister, Billie -- all Cole wants is to raise her kid somewhere he won't be preyed on as a reproductive resource or a sex object or a stand-in son. Someplace like home. To get there, Cole and Miles must journey across a changed America in disguise as mother and daughter. From a military base in Seattle to a luxury bunker, from an anarchist commune in Salt Lake City to a roaming cult that's all too ready to see Miles as the answer to their prayers, the two race to stay ahead at every step . . . even as Billie and her sinister crew draw closer. A sharply feminist, high-stakes thriller from award-winning author Lauren Beukes, \u003ci\u003eAfterland\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly blends psychological suspense, American noir, and science fiction into an adventure all its own -- and perfect for our times.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156469629168,"sku":"2940170063116","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170063116_p0.jpg?v=1763701189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170063116","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
