Morgan Llywelyn gives readers a near-future, apocalyptic thriller with her signature depth and intimacy of character.

In Drop by Drop, the first in a new trilogy, global catastrophe occurs as all plastic mysteriously liquefies. All the small components that make many technologies possible - navigation systems, communications, medical equipment - fail.

In Sycamore River, citizens find their lives disrupted as everything they've depended on melts around them, sometimes with fatal results. All they can rely upon is themselves.

And this is only the beginning.

Llywelyn blends her signature character-driven portrait of small-town life with the appeal of William Fortschen's One Second After.
