Synopsis

The Hardys have come to Montana to enjoy the challenges of the Big Bison River. Owen Watson runs a river rafting outfit and the boys are eager to test their skills. But their first day out on the fierce white waters turns into a life-or-death struggle when Owen falls victim to a sniper's bullet.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A paddle wheeler cruises up the Mississippi, delivering mail and hosting an occasional concert. A scene straight out of the nineteenth century? Not quite. This Mississippi is a toxic brown river. And the paddle wheeler is run by the River Rats, a troop of orphans who survived the Flash, a nuclear holocaust. What were once huge cities are now plague-ridden ruins haunted by gangs of savage children. And the concerts the Rats play are post-apocalyptic rock and roll--a music as rough and ragged as the musicians who perform it.

When the Rats rescue a stranger from the river, all the troubles of the old world suddenly threaten to end their travels forever.

Revue de presse

"Too good to miss."--Booklist

"An unusual, compelling futuristic novel . . . wry, sharp, lively, and perceptive."--The Horn Book (starred review)
