Bridges of Smoke

A quest for truth. A fight for survival.

All Leecie Huffman cares about is surviving her next shift as a barista—until the world goes up in blue smoke, millions of people die at the hands of a biological weapon, and life as she knew it ends. With a harsh new reality dawning over the Florida Panhandle, she sets out on a truth-seeking road trip, armed only with a folder full of stolen documents.

Bolton Elwood doesn’t want to hide out in an abandoned fort with a powder-keg group of suburban draft-dodgers. Keeping the peace, however, is the least of his problems when the dreaded blue veins begin to appear on his body.

As Leecie’s mission veers toward disaster, and Bolton is forced to confront the secrets he left for her to find, they discover the explosions were just the first step in a sinister plan for world domination.
