Without a Past, There Is Only The
Life is different in the After. With few people and no technology, Earth is a green but empty planet. Everyone is out to survive, and Jen and Father are a world of two. When they come across a community, Jen is tempted by a different life. But while she could stay, Father cannot: he's no ordinary man, but a human-appearing AI – and a secret that must be kept.
"The Vasylenko family are adventurers. They all love the wet and the wild, the thrill of exploring the outside world. All that is... except Oktober. He prefers the warm and safe comfort of the inside world, and for his adventures to take place between the pages of a book. But tomorrow, Oktober has to join his family on a trek into the slimy, grimy and climby wild, where he sees only danger and worry and fears a creature called "The Wilderness"! Failing to keep his wits about him could be dangerous though - it may even get him a bit... lost. But perhaps getting lost is just what Oktober needs to find himself and maybe even make an unexpected friend"--Publisher's description
