The arrest : a novel
(Book)

Post-Arrest America: cars, guns, computers, airplanes, and so much more have stopped working. In Maine former screenwriter Sandy Duplessis, who calls himself Journeyman, assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm. Charismatic and malicious, Peter Todbaum had been one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. When Todbaum shows up in Maine in a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor after smashing his way across a fragmented United States, his motives are entirely unclear. -- adapted from jacket
