Swimming across the Atlantic doesn’t promise to become an entertaining stroll for the main character (GG) and his companions. But in the water at least there are no living dead. And on land, and even in Europe, there are plenty of them. Not only the dead are dangerous, but also gangs of marauders and modern slaveholders who take advantage of the anarchy that has set in. Still, the road will be mastered by the walking—our hero is determined to get home to his family, through losses and deprivation.
