COLONIAL BEACH, Va. - June 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Firedrake Books (http://#61620401)
, LLC announces the release of The Contaminants, a gripping young adult adventure by author Devin K. Smyth. Aboard a spacecraft, two teens hold out hope for new life on post-apocalyptic Earth in this action-packed first novel in the “New Dakota” series.

Devin’s inspiration for the story was the fact that America’s nuclear arsenal has the capacity to annihilate the earth several times over—so what if that actually happened? The Contaminants is his speculation on that possibility and its aftermath, as seen through the eyes of two teen characters.

“A fast-paced story (that) strikes a good balance between tech-speak and genuine emotion.” – Foreword Reviews
