Ash Collectors

They call themselves “ash gatherers” because they are ordered to search for everything that remains of a civilization destroyed more than a hundred years ago—everything that could help the remnants of humanity that survived nuclear winter in shelters. But the ruins of the past are also a reason to start a new war.

Year 2115 that never arrived. A world that was destroyed. People—descendants of those generations who were born and died deep inside shelters without ever seeing sunlight. But the eighty-year nuclear winter has ended, and the shelter inmates come up to the surface to inherit a cruel world where deadly diseases rage, predators roam, and merciless Wild clans hold sway. A secret war is underway between military factions over possession of the scientific and technological legacy of the past—miraculously preserved after the Catastrophe. A world of the third Ice Age, populated by mutants hunted by a man named Ziha. And it turns out that Ziha’s path and the mysterious “ash gatherers”—elite post-nuclear special forces HEAVEN—will one day cross. They have different goals, but the price of victory or defeat is high—life itself. The life of a single person, and the lives of everyone who survived the nuclear winter.
