The Event--The Silent Threat Dan C Boutwell

Seven years ago the world experienced an occurrence of cataclysmic proportion. Those who survived know it as The Event. On an ordinary day a mysterious wind swept through every place inhabited by humans. In a split second almost all of the populated world dissolved into a fine reddish powder. Only one in every 35,000 people survived. Society collapsed, technology vanished, society evaporated along with all the laws and authority which oversaw them. Slowly, the remnants of society venture out and made contact with each other, but on a much simpler scale than before. Fortunately, the survivors were spared the dire predictions of roaming gangs looting and pillaging the survivors. There simply wasn't sufficient population to support the gangs. Those who survived scavenged the spoils of an overpopulated world and set out to rebuild new communities with new societies. However, technology in the form of a nuclear power facility, a holdover from the previous world threatened to heighten the apocalypse already wrought upon them. In an effort to save the survivors from this calamity, a small group of individuals strike out to prevent that from happening. However, they are hampered by a skilled and damaged warrior who is dead set on stopping them.
