The end has come.
Elle Costas and her dog, Bravo, have survived the dangers of Hollywood and escaped the clutches of Slaver Territory. The apocalypse has been cruel, and the wasteland of California has forced them to seek shelter in a civilian refugee camp at a place called Bear Mountain.
Here, they meet Cheng, a mysterious boy with the skills of a samurai, and Luli, a steampunk warrior with a thirst for vengeance. But friends cannot always be trusted. When a horrific tragedy befalls Bear Mountain, Elle and Bravo come face to face with their most dangerous enemy yet.
Betrayal and heartbreak threaten to destroy the bonds of friendship. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Run, or be caught.

Fight, or be forced to surrender.
The end of the day will change everything.
Will Elle and Bravo survive?

Girl and Dog Versus the World
By Summer Lane
Interestingly,
the most popular character of all of my books and stories has been Bravo, the
German Shepherd bomb dog from The Zero Trilogy. His undying love and loyalty to
fifteen-year-old Elle Costas is a wonderful example of true friendship. I think
everyone loves dogs – or at least, they should! – and Bravo embodies the
selfless nature of an animal.
When
I was creating the character of Bravo, I knew exactly who he was going to be
and what he was going to be like. There was no question. Bravo has been a
friend to me just as he has been a friend to Elle.
Many
people have commented on the dialogue between hardened Elle and Bravo. Is Elle
imagining that the dog is talking? Is the dog actually talking? The answer is
that I look into the eyes of dogs and cats all the time, and the more time you
spend with them, the more you can read their thoughts – just like people!
The
dialogue between girl and dog came about naturally. I wanted to write about the
dog as the real presence that he was. I didn’t want the narrative to be
childish, because this story is about the raw, gritty battle for day-to-day
survival. Bravo’s voice emerged from the story in a truly organic way. His
voice is uniquely his own. His bond with Elle is so special. I love that Elle’s
best friend and real love is a dog, because what could possibly be more
wonderful than that?
