Hilltown — Bill Rogers

Welcome to the End of the World! Welcome to Hilltown, last stop before the endless Sea. Here, a thousand years after the starship Carpathia crashed, descendants of the castaways have built themselves a trim little village that would be comfortable-if only something else didn't wander the streets at night.

Welcome to life in the ashes of a world that has already been destroyed once...
