The battle was only the beginning; the real danger is beyond the fence ... The Diggers have been destroyed, a horde of ghouls is moving inland and the High Priestess has seized control of the Central Territory. Together with Nim, a Nomad boy seeking vengeance against the ghouls, Squid and Lynn begin their long journey toward the city of Big Smoke, a city that may not even exist. Pursued by forces that wish to see them fail, facing threats on all sides and conflict from within, Squid, Lynn and Nim search for a weapon against the ghouls. It is a search that will lead them into forbidden lands where long-held beliefs about their world are tested and Squid may finally unravel the truth of his identity. But even if they survive their journey, the teenagers on whom the fate of the Territory now rests have no idea what dangers await them beyond the fence.
This is book 3 of The DEBT: a 4-part novella series based on Cowboy, ex-soldier, Matt Stone.
Matt Stone rode into Markleeville one hot dusk, with a wind at his back that promised summer thunder. He was tall and lean, with a narrow, clean-shaven face above the collar of his oilskin duster. His eyes were a hard pale blue, like chips of ice, and his black hair was long like an Apache's and held back with a strip of leather. The coat was open, revealing a buckskin vest and the pair of silver Colts at his hips. He rode a huge, sleek black horse with a bullet scar showing in white hairs across one flank. Its name was Lucky. That horse had carried him through Gettysburg alive, and then taken him west, where he'd spent three years wandering, trying to get the echoes of battle out of his head. He managed to escape death in Gettysburg and just when he begins to believe he has something good with Anne, destiny takes a shot and sends everything spinning out of control.

Το τρίτο μυθιστόρημα του Βαγγέλη Χατζηγιαννίδη από το 2000 - οπότε κυκλοφόρησαν κάνοντας αίσθηση "Οι τέσσερις τοίχοι"- λέγεται "Το ελάχιστο ίχνος" και μοιάζει με ουράνιο τόξο: γιατί σ' αυτό συνοψίζεται με ιλιγγιώδη ταχύτητα -χρωματική, αισθηματική και βιωματική- η πολυτάραχη ζωή ενός ανθρώπου. Και όχι μόνο.
Πάνω στη ζωή του κεντρικού ήρωα η ανάκλαση και η διάθλαση από άλλες ζωές δημιουργεί ένα συνεχές φάσμα, ένα φαινόμενο αφήγησης που καλύπτει πέντε δεκαετίες και μια διαδρομή από τα δάση του ορεινού βορρά στο αστικό τρίγωνο της αθηναϊκής θεατρικής πιάτσας. Ιώδες, πράσινο, ώχρα και κυανό, και οι διαβαθμίσεις τους, αλλά με διαφορετική οπτική γωνία και χρονική εκτροπή σε κάθε κεφάλαιο, κρατούν τον αναγνώστη αιχμάλωτο από την πρώτη σελίδα ως την τελευταία. Ο μύθος λέει ότι στη βάση του ουράνιου τόξου κρύβεται ένα πιθάρι με χρυσάφι για όποιον μπορέσει να φτάσει εκεί. Εδώ ο θησαυρός είναι αλλιώς: η αστραφτερή αφηγηματική επιφάνεια υποστηρίζεται από πλέγματα "στοχαστικών προσαρμογών" όπου διασταυρώνονται το ταλέντο, η καταγωγή, η πίστη, οι δεσμοί αίματος, η ομορφιά, η διαπλοκή, η αξία, η θυσία, το χρήμα, ο φθόνος, η ηδονή, η αγάπη.
