Avalon

Initially there is a terrorist nuclear attack on the east coast of the US which leads to World War three between the US, Russia and China. It is a devastating nuclear war. The East Coast and West Coasts of the US become radiated killing zones. To enter there is to die a slow agonizing death. When the war ends, most of the people on earth are dead. An old 19th Century abandoned cattle ranch called Avalon becomes a refuge for a few people who want to survive. They fight off repeated attacks by cannibalistic motorcycle gangs who have banded together into large feudal groups led by cut throats, and savage butchers who eat children and make slaves out of the other captives they encounter. It is a world turned inside out with no law and nobody to protect the straggler, there is no longer any military or law enforcement to protect those who have survivived. The only protection is with the groups who band together. Some of those are residing at Avalon. The ranch and the residents themselves, the citizen soldiers banded together for mutual support and protection. Avalon is a refuge for those who live there. They have food and all the amenities a real sanctuary offers those who have nowhere to go or to hide and had the foresight to prepare ahead of time just in case a disaster happened. These are warrior residents in a world gone mad and those who are left are mostly refugees and at the mercy of anyone who happens along. Alone, one is either a slave, food or simply defenseless and ultimately dead. If you have ever wondered how to put together a retreat, stock it and make it ready for any eventuality of cataclysmic proportions, Avalon is a must read. You will see how they did it and realize, you can too.
