Daniel Blum—scientist, soldier, father—thinks he knows his purpose in the random nightmare of life following the fall of modern Israel. Yet when a figure from his past appears, he must choose between hope and truth, between comfort and redemption.
As he journeys through the ruins of his homeland, he confronts a world he no longer recognizes, a place of physical and social disintegration. Torn between the bonds of duty and family, Daniel is forced to plumb the true depths of his loss and, ultimately, confront the unintended consequences of his choices.
“...brutal... shocking... The book’s conclusion will startle...” ~ San Diego Jewish Times
