No Safe HarboursThe camp was still holding. Until it wasn't. Aboard the battered boat Second Chance, a small group of survivors threads the mangrove channels of the Florida Keys, chasing the last faint signals of civilization. Among them are a silent man with a crowbar and a past he cannot speak, a boy learning to kill with a spear, a mother protecting what remains of her family, and a couple who have already lost everything once.
The dead here are different. Weeks in the salt have changed them - barnacle-encrusted, buoyant, and endlessly patient. They do not tire. They do not forget. When a ruined fishing camp yields one last survivor and a warning that the world is still mutating, the group must decide whether to keep running. or finally try to hold ground. In this drowned landscape, every harbour is temporary. And some prices can never be paid twice.
