✦ Synopsis

The USC Westbound carries the last remaining survivors of the human race. After nearly twenty years searching for a new home or signs of intelligent life, an incurable virus spreads on the ship and threatens to kill mankind once and for all. In a desperate attempt to save the human species, two immune teenagers are put into cryostasis and sent into deep space. When they finally awaken, the sins of mankind's past haunt them and threaten, one way or another, to kill them both and forever close the chapter on our existence.

Excerpt:

"She looked beautiful, a stark realization that took him by surprise all at once and in that moment turned slow and capturing, like a thousand pictures being taken within every passing second. The cold resolutions of survival and the calculations against empathy had shattered in a thousand refracted pieces that left only the image of her wet, melancholy eyes, devoid of malice and left vulnerable to him."

Review

"In the last six months I have read 4 colonization or apocalyptic themed science fiction novels, 3 by well known publishers, and "A Cold Black Wave" was the best." - Richard E. Johnson
