When the mayor of Alex's hometown (to which he has finally returned across a post-apocalyptic American landscape) proves a poor leader, Alex and Darla create their own homestead, welcoming refugees despite the threat of vindictive neighbors. In the saga's finale (Ashfall; Ashen Winter), Mullin thoughtfully and urgently explores issues of leadership, maturity, and humanity against a backdrop that brings gritty to another level.
