The Last Electric House: a post-climate disaster novel

In the very near future sisters Kim and Ingrid live in the last electric house in a rural valley that may be the final tenuous bastion of civilization after a climate disaster ends the world as they knew it. Meanwhile their friend Harper the Sherrif struggles to maintain law and order among their neighbors while Troy a refugee from outside the valley tries to make himself useful in the community that takes him in. As they all attempt to find their place in this dangerous new world they encounter threats from outside -- and most disturbingly from within -- the valley they have no choice but to call home.Critical acclaim for the work of Peter Ullian: A cross between David Mamet and the Marx Brothers ...
