书名：Across The Lake(Across the Lake #1)《穿越湖》

简介：Across The Lake is the first post-apocalyptic book of a two book series. In less than a day, an apocalyptic asteroid impact brought civilization to its knees and drastically altered the geography of North America. After the impact, cataclysmic events killed most of the world’s population, and for years beyond this tragic aftermath of human suffering, people continued to die in droves. Those who survived struggled against formidable obstacles such as hunger, disease, and the murderous conflicts that accompanied scarce vital resources, but the will to live was strong. Humans crawled from under the rubble of toppled civilizations and began the long, multi-generational trek back to organized society. Over time, Earth began to heal, survivors banded together, and communities arose.
Earth had survived, and so had the ancient stories of the Americans, myths and legends passed down from parent to child. Of the Americans, only fables of their existence and the ruins of their cities remained. The ancient ones had disappeared, but tales of their accomplishments persisted from generation to generation. This is merely one story of survival and revenge that took place in what remained of Louisiana.
Aton Matin, the clan leader’s only son, was a hot-tempered young man. He had eyes full of romance for his warlord’s oldest daughter, Esina Regalyon, but her father, Olar, had nothing but contempt for Aton, who was the only man she loved. Under the warlord’s watchful eyes, Aton and Esina were star-crossed lovers.
Against his father’s advice, Aton devised a secret plan to build a boat and sail across the gigantic lake that bordered his clan’s territory. In a distant and unfamiliar region on the other side of the lake, he desired to prove his bravery and find manhood in battle while serving under a cruel warlord from the merchant city of Acadia. He planned to come back home as an accomplished warrior, a hero, and rich with the spoils of war, but soon after he finished the boat, a series of unexpected events caused him to flee for his life. He escaped in his vessel and sailed across the enormous lake. What adventures wait for him, Across The Lake? The story concludes in this dystopian novel’s sequel, The Long Journey Home.
