This is the beginning of a new series and I loved the story. It is a change from the werewolves, vampires, and such although there are immortal "Strangers" in this story. They are human's and have something to do with what happened to change the world. It is a post-apocalypse world where several men who were caught in a deep cave during the destruction of civilization woke 50 yrs. later and walked out of the cave into No Man's Land where Las Vegas is along the Pacific Ocean and the weather is tropical.
Elliott is one of those men, a doctor, who now has extraordinary powers to heal with his hands but it is a gift with a price. Jade was born into this new world and lives in Envy(New Vegas=NV)as a runner...think Kevin Costner in The Postman. She was a captive of the Strangers & now wants revenge. The story building is great and the interaction between Elliott and Jade is good. There is lots of information to learn yet and the next two stories follow quickly. Almost went on my keeper shelf but decided to put it up for adoption so others could enjoy it as much as I did. Looking forward to the next installments.
