Although Tom Miller calls the Manti-La Sal mountains of Central Utah his home, he's roamed all over the Southwestern United States in the ten years since global nuclear war destroyed civilization. When a convoy of settlers from Utah Valley fleeing the horror of a fallout zone larger than they'd realized offer him a job guiding them to a new life in Texas, he's dubious of their chances of even making it through the badlands. But he needs a new horse and the pay is right, so he agrees.Kristy Graham hasn't left her little farming community in Utah Valley since before the nukes flew. But now, mourning the death of her husband to radiation sickness, she must get herself and her young son Skyler to Texas and the new life they plan to start there. It's going to be a brutal journey pushing a handcart for hundreds of miles through some of the hottest, driest, most inhospitable terrain in the US. Thankfully she's not alone, sharing the burden of handling the large cart with her friends the Hendricksons, who've been a second family to her and her son since their tragic loss.It's a long ways to Texas, where word of prosperity thanks to trade with groups in Mexico and nations even farther south has drawn a stream of settlers from all the nearby states. But rumors abound that the prosperity has also drawn bandits and other unsavory sorts to the area, preying on the convoys traveling to and from the new trade outpost.The journey to Texas will be difficult and dangerous enough even without the threat of attack, and it's on Tom's shoulders to lead them safely to their new lives. Then he can get back to his own peaceful, solitary life up in the mountains. Or at least that was the plan before he met Kristy.

The people of Aspen Hill have managed to survive every challenge that's come their way since the US ran out of fuel practically overnight. Having fled their home, they're now struggling to rebuild their town in a new location and make the preparations they need before the onset of nuclear winter.Trev Smith has assumed command of the town's defenders, and is struggling to be a good leader while trying to help his friend Deb Rutledge get over her traumatic past as a prisoner of Gold Bloc soldiers. His cousin Lewis Halsson believes he has preparations for the winter well in hand, and is now looking to the future for ways to bring prosperity for his family and hopefully the whole town. And their friend Matt Larson has taken over as Mayor, facing the daunting task of leading the town just as it faces its greatest challenge. On top of that Matt also worries for his wife Sam, who'll soon be giving birth to their first child without the aid of modern medical equipment or doctors trained in obstetrics.None of them can truly predict how bad their first nuclear winter will be, but they know how bad last winter was even though it was relatively mild. For a town cut off from outside aid and forced to provide everything for itself, conditions had been brutal. This winter would be unimaginably worse, not only much colder and with more snowfall but also lasting far longer. They'd have to work every moment to prepare, rely on friends and loved ones for support, look for help wherever they could find it, and hope for good fortune.The Nuclear Winter series continues the story of the five book Best Laid Plans series, with First Winter beginning soon after the end of the fifth book, Determination.
