“Fireside Books has a new bestseller, and it’s a debut by Alaskan Don Rearden. . . The gist of the book – post apocalyptic Bush Alaska. A deadly epidemic sweeps through an Alaska village, and the main character has to strike out on his own to find help. Critics have compared it to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road . . . Rearden has an atmospheric book trailer that sends chills up this bear’s spine.”—Ebeart, the blogging bookstore bear from Fireside Books, Palmer, AK
