Z for Zachariah
Overview & Summary
Believing herself to be the last person alive after a devastating nuclear war, sixteen-year-old Ann Burden has been surviving alone in an uncontaminated valley when a man in a radiation suit arrives -- and what begins as relief at no longer being alone curdles into a terrifying struggle for control and survival as his true character is revealed. Robert C. O'Brien's unfinished novel (completed by his family after his death) is a tense post-apocalyptic thriller.
