Following the energy crisis of the late twentieth−century America has been abandoned. Now‚ a century later‚ a small group of European explorers returns to the deserted continent. But America is unrecognisable − the Bering Strait has been dammed and the whole continent has become a desert‚ populated by isolated natives and the bizarre remnants of a disintegrated culture.
The expedition sets off from Manhattan on a cross−continent journey‚ through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks‚ to uncover a shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas.
