Books with title No Survivors

Excerpt from No Survivors: A NovelI shall recount nothing further of the death of the Confederacy at Appomattox. Such accounting as has been given, may be re garded as the preface to the real saga of my life, its westward course following my abortive attempt to go home after the surrender.My sole assets at the outset of the journey west, beyond a per sonal hardihood already described, were my horse and an old, Colt Dragoon revolver. I assume the three of us made something less than a reassuring picture.Hussein, as the foundation of this dilapidated trio, contributed his full share to our appearance of villainy. A magnificent bay stallion, reputed to carry in his veins, undiluted, the blood of the original Barb, he had been presented to me by my troops after Chickamauga.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two years ago, the ash started falling like gray snow. The volcanoes had erupted. . . . For Miles and his sister, Sarah, the real disaster started in the violent aftermath—when they were forced to leave their cushy suburban home and flee to the north woods for safety. Miles got them to a cabin, but now winter is setting in. All they have to get them through is the milk from Sarah’s prized possession—her goat—and Miles’s memory of wilderness survival skills. When Sarah tries to regain some normalcy by attending the local school, she realizes she is no longer quite the person she used to be. Now she is Goat Girl, a Traveler, and it’s hard to pretend she isn’t. And when a horrific twist of fate robs Miles of his memory, he discovers the heart of his true identity. They knew the volcanoes would change the world. Now, in order to survive, they must change with it. Will Weaver delivers an extraordinary sequel to Memory Boy, showing that several basic instincts lie deep inside us all: love, fear, and survival.

Max Wilson just wanted to fit in. On his first day at Dutton High, all he hoped for was to not fall asleep in his classes, and to maybe make a friend or two. After what he had been through, Max desperately needed for things in his new school to work out. All he wanted was a fresh start. Amy Chase was fed-up with her lot in life. She adores her group of friends, as quirky and eccentric as they may be, but despised the bullying and harassment they receive from their classmates. Amy had a bundle of nerves in her, and felt at any time that she was ready to snap. When Max and Amy met, they immediately hit it off, and things seem like they were going to be okay. Both of them would get what they wanted, maybe even more. Then several students disappeared under mysterious circumstances. An eyewitness says he saw Max and two others abduct the missing students. Then the students turn up dead, and the whispers begin. All signs point to Max as the prime suspect. Amy is the only one who believes in Max's innocence. Despite all the accusations, even those of her own friends, Amy vows to clear Max's name. But as Amy proceeds in her investigation, she learns that the culprits may be more than she bargained for. And that her new friend may have secrets of his own. Thrilling, engrossing, and at times, laugh out loud funny, Survivor is a must-read for fans of young-adult paranormal fiction. Prepare for a enjoyable romp that you'll never forget!
