Jeremiah

The wanderer Jeremiah comes to the market community Clairfield, looking to barter for supplies and maybe get a lead on the whereabouts of the Valhalla Sector. The place is run by the beautiful Theo, a woman obsessed with getting her hands on as much knowledge and technology as possible. When her guards discover a well-maintained, fueled car hidden nearby, shes sure the owner can lead her to the jackpot. Pity those who should get in the way.

A somewhat fanciful tale of a guy who grew up after the Big Death believing that some day the super heroes he read about as a kid would come back and fix things...and a tale of a most unusual romance between another of our main characters -- Marcus Alexander, head of what was once the NORAD Thunder Mountain complex -- and a woman whose existence has been kept secret from everyone for years.

While trying to track down info on "the Burners", a mysterious group thats burning down whole settlements in seemingly random fashion, Jeremiah encounters a woman whos stealing all the gas she can get her hands on, and Kurdy ends up helping a pregnant girl, against his better judgment.

Jeremiah and Kurdy travel in search of more information on the Big Death and Valhalla Sector, and along the way discover some potentially dark secrets about the fate of Kurdys parents in the last days of the Big D.

Jeremiah and Kurdy attempt to save a community when its children begin disappearing amid a rumor that the blood of children can be used to prevent the return of The Big Death.

Kurdy and Jeremiah goes to Clairfield to save Elizabeth who has been kidnapped by some of Theos former underlings. In Thunder Mountain there is an investigation trying to find the traitor who is leaking information.

Jeremiah and Kurdy are sent to contact an elusive group led by a mysterious "Steve" but get captured. One of his captors is Michelle, a woman he met (in flashback) back at his empty home five years ago after his brother died. They were intimately involved back then, and we find out shes the one who gave Jeremiah the idea for writing notes to his dead father. In the present it turns out "Steve" is Michelle. Her operation is working heavily to get knowledge out, and she also has a 5-year old son. One guy accuses Michelle of skimming and the guys follow her and find out shes collecting art, and agrees to work with Thunder Mountain. Then Michelle comes back to lay down the law on the guy who accused her of skimming and the guys head out with as Jeremiah and Michelle think about getting together in the future.

After receiving a message from Theo (from "The Long Road") saying she wants to "thank" Jeremiah and Kurdy for saving her life, they find themselves wrapped up in a world of sex, bare knuckled boxing matches, elephants, and mushrooms? After they arrive at the inn specified in the invite (after taking some hallucinogenic mushrooms), they find its a cathouse and theyve been given the run of the place. Jeremiahs "choice", Penny, wants him to fight in a bare-knuckle match for her freedom but Kurdy overhears that its a plan to get revenge on Theo by killing them and takes Jeremiahs place. Kurdy manages to win and Polly has them take her to her daughter China at...a local circus (which explains the elephant). While Polly tries to deal with the fact her childs father doesnt want her to have contact with her child, Jeremiah helps recover the elephant and Polly decides to stay on as the circus decides to "go public".

Kurdy and Jeremiah are off to Jeremahs old stomping grounds of Denver to pick up some books at a library. They meet the "librarian", Edgar, and Kurdy stays to help him learn to read and fend off zealots who are convinced that books are the root of all evil. Jeremiah goes to meet his friend Red (from The Long Road) and embarks on a journey with his girlfriend Maggie, a wheelchair-bound woman determined to deliver her fathers ashes to the remote island where she was raised. Maggie insists the ashes must be dumped in the middle of a river...which can only be reached by a rickety gondola. Meanwhile, the library patrons rally under Kurdys inspiration to defend Edgar and the library.

Jeremiah and Kurdy discovers that someone is a traitor, this leads them to the missing page in Simons diary. With the help of the diary they find the real reason behind the Big Death.

Yet more questions and few answers, Mister Smith is here yet he is not. Kurdy is scared yet fearless, Jeremiah is weak yet strong. we see a father and son reunited only to be thrust apart. we learn more about Valhala Sector and their evil plans.

Kurdy is still not speaking to Jeremiah. Marcus sends Jeremiah and Libby(since she is the only one who knows the people there) to a camp where the members of the St. Louis gathering. Libby reports back and Kurdy leads the attack on the camp. They rescue everyone, but the leader escapes and heads east to find the mysterious Daniel. Marcus leaves Jeremiah in charge of the camp and the nearby village.

Jeremiah prepares for an awkward reunion with his father, Devon. Libby gives Jeremiah a letter from his father written years ago. In it he explains what happened the day he and his wife disappeared.

Adam comes to Milhaven to kill Jeremiah and nearly succeeds, sending Jeremiah, Kurdy and Mister Smith on a dangerous mission into one of Daniels strongholds.

Wanting to savor his dish of vengeance while its hot, Jeremiah joins Markus and Kurdy in a sting to smoke out Daniels raiders. In Milhaven, Mister Smith gives Erin a disquieting message from God.

Was the past the best of times or the worst of times? It depends on whose past. Kurdy has to trust Lee when he returns to a town and a load of trouble he left behind while Jeremiah is imprisoned in an idealized replica of the days before the Big Death.

Jeremiah joins Kurdy and Mister Smith on what should be a simple job to deliver radios to nearby towns. It is not; Daniels forces have plans for those radios and towns that could bring disaster to the Alliance.

A painful truth sets Jeremiahs course while Sims prepares to attack the Alliance. Markus and Kurdy must combat enemy forces outside and within Thunder Mountain itself to protect a future worth living in. (Part 2 of 2)
