RUST
A virus has ripped the country and the world apart, throwing those even who are rich down into the poverty levels, digging through mud and living without electricity in a nation that could be called barbaric. Colton Hershle has been at its mercy, his father long gone and his mother suffering, dying day-by-day, and the forest is his home, and where he is caught and thrown into an even darker place. Katherine Pae knows everything about it, these underground fiends, as she has been hunting them, chasing them, and researching them ever since she was born, and then she makes a mistake that causes their world to be further overrun. Alix Huntar has lived her life in richness despite the virus, innocent and unaware of the horrors going on outside her town thanks to shelter, but when the mistake is cast and the world is drenched in darkness, she soon finds out the places she has dreamed of are dead -- and it's her fault, too.
Set in a time when America does not even exist anymore, Happiness Is Overrated is a true testament to its title.
