Author Description

For people sentimentally attached to the suburban lifestyles of the 21st century, Castor Island, located in the middle of the expansive valley that was once Lake Michigan, provides the perfect escape.But when a massive dust storm rises out of the wasteland and decimates the island's sole highway as well as the solar fields and communications tower, the secluded paradise becomes an isolated hell on Earth.With no help in sight, a local history teacher, a grass-roots mechanic, a high-school football star and a foreign family man join together on a mission to cross the desolate valley and seek aid from the nearest mainland town.Between them and their only hope for salvation lie 24 miles of treacherous terrain, populated by unexpected obstacles and scorched by the same angry sun that years before turned this life-filled lake into...The Frying Pan.
