America is so beautiful, during the day. The shimmering oceans of the Atlantic and the Pacific.

The golden cornfields, stretching for hundreds of miles. The surreal, sculpted deserts and the evergreen forests.

All sing the beauty of this wonderful nation. During the day.

Because when night falls, the world's true masters emerge from the blackness. And now they're taking their planet back.

War has swallowed the country. Capable of creating storms and controlling animals, a telepathic terrorist group calling itself the Raquin Dynasty has begun its assault on mainstream America.

Wildfires swallow the crop fields, and domestic livestock have mobilized and begun killing their masters. The country's children form a harsh divide, between those drafted as soldiers and those who join the fledgling Empire in its quest for a New World Order.

Caught in this supernatural war is Craig Steiger, survivor of the cataclysm that decimated Sky Valley the previous year and sent the Raquin Dynasty on the warpath. Pursued by Raquin Syvier, the ruler of the psychic army, and fleeing the government for his involvement in the new civil war, Craig must rejoin his friends - Paranormal investigators Will Watson and Amy Black - to quell this supernatural onslaught before the blood stains the whole world.

But as the casualties on both sides skyrocket, and entire cities are leveled by tornadoes, floods and wildfires. .

. .

. another enemy is emerging from the monster-infested nights.

Could this war have deeper causes? And could there be another, ancient enemy cloaking itself behind a Proxy War?In this, the third entry in the Teenage Wastelands saga, Kent Starrett brings us back to the unremittent horror that began in 2017 with Jackie and Craig; and then continued in 2019 with The Rise and Fall of the Sky Valley Cult. Building upon the cliffhanger ending of the previous novel, Escape From Concordia provides a surreal, paranormal odyssey sure to enthrall fans of the last two novels.
