A series of short stories about country life. The Roar of the Locust King is one of these. After nuclear winds sweep through the plains of the American midwest, a young orphaned boy finds refuge in a coastal ghost town. Under siege from cannibalizing hoards, the town must decide whether to keep him and share their slender resources or let him brave the winter alone. Whether he survives the winter will depend on the kindness of strangers. However much he needs them though, it soon becomes apparent that the boy has a hidden talent that can save them all.
