Download As PDF : The Days That Remain eBook Wayne Wightman 
The Days That Remain is about an America changed by changing climate. Forests and cities have burned, rainfall is erratic, and shortages occur everywhere. Then it gets worse.
In just one day, Allen's life turns upside down and everyone and everything is taken away from him, except for his dog.
In his trek across an abandoned America to a place of refuge, he meets murderers and heroes, travels through empty cities and blackened forests, and crosses paths with the shadowy 404 group.
In a world without the restraints of society, where people can be what they want to be, he meets the vicious, the peculiar, and the strangely beautiful--and his life changes. The Days That Remain is about surviving in a world too new to have an instruction book, where instant decisions can have life or death consequences. It is about the world we may leave to our children.

About Wayne Wightman's Fiction
John Brunner, the legend himself “Wayne Wightman is agreeable company, both in person and via the printed page. As to the former, I’m afraid you will have to wait the chance to make his acquaintance…. As to the latter, however, now’s your chance.”
Orson Scott Card, Hugo and Nebula winner “[Wayne Wightman is] …one of the names I[‘ve] learned to look for…. He…is a romantic whose stories confess his belief that individuals can be larger than life, that their decisions can change the world around them.”
Best Story of the Year 2011 awarded to Wayne Wightman's “Brutal Interlude” by Orson Scott Card's online magazine The Intergalactic Medicine Show.
Richard Paul Russo, Philip K. Dick Award winner “One of Wightman’s great strengths is his willingness to go to the edge. He pulls no punches, whether the story is serious or violent or manic. You can count on him to take you places other writers shy away from.”
Lewis Shiner, writer par excellence and editor “Wayne Wightman… has produced an impressive series of connected stories… full of manic energy, rich in colors and emotions.”
Ed Ferman, editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction “He writes top quality sf and fantasy, humor and horror, and he never forgets to tell a compelling tale.”

I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, so rarely read books that are not available via this plan. For a few authors, I make exceptions. Wightman is one of those authors. After reading Selection Event (and assigning it five stars) I promised myself I would read more of his work. I finished this book last night. Brilliant.Wightman's take on the future is frightingly realistic. For anyone who has studied history, you know that severe weather changes have impacted society in the past. Now imagine the Great Depression and Dustbowl, times ten.
What a bleak world this author has created. What sublime characters. And a real ending, which provides a taste of hope. I highly recommend this book.

The Days That Remain eBook Wayne Wightman Reviews
Well written, often intense apocalyptic page turner.
A new author for me and it was an enjoyable read in spite of it being "an end of the world as we know it" book!
Will appeal more to younger readers who like a bit of survival excitement perhaps but who also have soft hearts because it involves both youth and things that make you go aaah!
An almost apocalypse peopled with characters I would like to know and scenarios blended with decisions to make one think.
Book was essentially a post apocalyptic work of the Mad Max variety, mostly taking place in the burnt out and dried up flyover states in the USA. The book has plenty of twists and turns, and is awfully gory. Towards the end of the book, the story takes on too many characters, but much of the story gives a revealing look at a world where the climate is a few degrees warmer and everything has gone to pot. (Including some of the characters.).
Keep an eye out for a side mention of the atmosphere's oxygen content. (Hint just the percentage is mentioned; the commenter says nothing directly about oxygen.)
Slightly different take on A post apocalyptic world. There were parts of it that were extremely interesting and it made you wonder how things were going to turn out. Spoiler alert- it was very depressing after a while. So many of the people that you got to know-died. even though it ended on a good note-it was hard getting there.
This book beautifully relates the ultimate effects of climate change through the eyes of a young man who has been isolated from the truth and suddenly has to make his way in a world where survival trumps every decent human response. His journey of awakening awareness of the severity of his plight is aided by the very few people he can trust, including some with the hard-bitten sophistication of bitter experience. The tension-filled narrative shifts seamlessly between the difficult choices of the principal characters, all doing their best to find safety while doing the least possible damage to their moral cores.
One very old and very wise man states the terrible truth sadly and succinctly “Imagine an animal clever enough to do almost anything it wants, but not quite smart enough to see the bigger picture. Call it extinction by unintended consequences.”
I have read Wayne's book, "The Days That Remain" twice, about ten years apart and have enjoyed it even more this time. Poor innocent protagonist "Allen" faces so many shocking experiences and meets so many kind, strange,weird, and evil characters as he travels with his faithful dog through a burned out, climate crazy world to find a home.
Wayne Wightman is a skilled writer with a great imagination and has created a classic book, I hope more people will give it a try.
