A post-apocalyptic love story, A Dangerous Land accounts one family's search for reunion in a world gone mad. Empires have fallen and Nation States have been laid low ever since Mankind was hit hard by Plagues and Wars, killing over half the people on the planet. Its survivors, left as near primitives, struggle to dig out and rebuild. Cooper is one such survivor. An American expat stranded in France, Cooper only half-believes his wife Elizabeth and son Adam, left behind in the United States, may have also survived the War-Pandemic Plagues. Separated by chance and an ocean, he's had no word of them for ten years. Now settled in a Breton village, fishing by day with the fleet, getting beaten by night in combat clubs, Cooper spends his life fighting and drinking, anything to stop thinking. Ultimate forgetfulness would be the easy way out, he knows, but instead he keeps drawing breath, waiting for some word or sign, unsure as to what the future may hold for him. Deep down he questions why he lived when so many others did not. His answer comes to him out of the blue, in the form of a simple letter, and its arrival turns his world upside down. This strange epistle, from 4,000 miles off, over a year old, is a plea from his wife, Elizabeth! She and Adam are alive and living in in a place called The Compound, north of Chelsea Village, in the old state of Michigan, US, North America. She makes no demands of him, and the letter does not read as a call for help. Yet Cooper sees it clearly as a plea for salvation, her final cry made from a world of hope and fear. For Cooper, it becomes his sign and reason... it defines his mission. He knows he must return to Michigan, to America, to find his wife and child. This is the story of that journey, through A Dangerous Land.
