South East Sometime — Robert James

A Panoramic Novel About A Very Possible Future Set a hundred years after civilization as we know it has been obliterated, this is the story of two powerful and farsighted men, who each created their own brand of post apocalyptic dynasties. But their sheer grit and overpowering personalities forged very different kinds of societies, ones which were destined to come into conflict with each other, not to mention their now-majority indigenous ‘landlords', the Goodfella. Though their descendants totally believe their false versions of history, when young James, the great grandson of one, and Wendy, the great granddaughter of the other, finally come face to face, it is an event which heralds a new era for the whole region. But with the truth so distorted and entangled with outright lies, both are caught up in their own families' webs of deceit. Yet, when the specter of war and outright annihilation looms, everything changes. Despite their historical antagonism, the small and very different communities have no choice but to join forces with the vastly more numerous Goodfella, in a bid to right wrongs and avert a bloodbath. It will be up to James and Wendy, along with their close knit groups, to find their way through the web of intrigue. It will lead them to a world of heart breaking realities, which are destined to end up as unavoidable and lethal hostilities. Yet, if the truth can finally be revealed, the young couple may still have the chance to create the world they both dream of, together.
