The Road (Audio CD) ... novelists. The Road has been hailed by critics as a masterpiece. This novel paints a bleak vision of a post-apocalyptic America; a land where no hope remains.

... love it! The Road is a post-apocalyptic novel that focuses on an un-named father and son who struggle to survive through the bleak after-math of destruction.
