A young Washington DC journalist is travelling on the city’s Metro when it is destroyed by a nuclear attack. One thousand years later, she is found perfectly preserved in an icy radioactive pool by researchers studying the blast site. A World Rebuilt by R.K. Ward follows the story of Charlotte Spencer (Charlie) as she awakens into a new dystopian world. She is nursed back to health and then, encouraged by her physician, she embarks on a journey through the wasteland of North America. In a new era of steam locomotives and horse drawn carriages, she visits cities and communities struggling to survive in this new dismembered world. She finds there is discontent among much of the population and, returning to the care of her physician, is encouraged to join a popular movement sworn to overthrow and replace the existing world order. Romance blossoms between them as the rebel forces mass for a final showdown against the dominating and corrupt world government.
In A World Rebuilt, R.K. Ward presents a highly detailed, thought provoking vision of a post apocalyptic society which has lost most of the trappings of our modern world, with technology having regressed to the days of steam railways and coach travel. The structures, morals, and mores of the new society are carefully examined, as are the greed and ambitions of the ever present grasping politicians, anxious to maintain and expand their grip on power. Intertwined in the narrative, a love story develops between the heroine and her taciturn physician, a thread which serves to hold the overall plot together.
