When a ticking time bomb in human genes detonated, the Scourge of God began sweeping the planet, claiming its victims in a few short weeks. Soon an illusion of humanity haunted the streets, and its once-glamorous cities plunged into quiet darkness.The few who were spared by the Scourge were left to make sense of the new world. One of them, Vincent, was a passionate and good-natured man in his twenties. Having moved to New York City seven months before, after battling a life-sapping depression, he now faced the human apocalypse. New York City was a large wasteland of concrete, steel, rust, and broken glass. Birds ruled the sky, while rodents feasted on the ground-level remains. It was a dangerous and deteriorating place, but it became the staging ground for a new civilization. There Vincent found normalcy, friendships, love, and hope. Life seemed better than before the Scourge, but soon the injustices of the new world began raging a new battle within him. He decided to take justice into his own hands and become a new kind of Scourge.Loved by some. Loathed by others. Ultimately feared by all. "The new world is perfectly imperfect and Mr. Zoran created a new world that is believable and scarily realistic. This is a fast paced novel that takes you on a journey with the lead character and you won't want this journey to end. Finely crafted and supremely creative." -Readers' Favorite Review Zoran Obradovic was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia. He moved to Buffalo, New York, when he was a young teenager.
