Book II of the New Wilderness trilogy by Brian S. Matthews
The animals are getting smarter. The ants have learned how to take out entire settlements in a single night. As Mother Nature closes in on humanity's remnants, a vital piece of technology is stolen from Compton Pit. Five people set off in pursuit, desperate to recover the item before knowledge of its existence draws every gun from miles around. Their journey will take them through teeth-infested territory long abandoned by the likes of man, all the way to a legendary city built on the remains of America's last aircraft carrier.
The floating utopia is anything but. Corruption rules its darkest corners, and there are things in the ocean far worse than anything that walks on land.
It will never be safe to go in back in the water.
