Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Hewitt Peavey comes inside and delivers news: His homestead was attacked by the Seablite Gang, and among them Hewitt recognized the leader, Shade, known for not hiding his face and for having albinism. His albinism and glowing skin make him oddly bright. The gang sabotaged the Peavey family’s generators, because Hewitt reports that the backup generator did not turn on. The homestead is still without power.
Hewitt’s father was attacked, and his mother is tending to him while Hewitt seeks help. Ty’s Pa is too far away. He won’t be able to make it to the homestead in time to restore power before everything within it dies. Zoe calls Doc, who tells Ty not to go, but Ty gears up anyway. Gemma insists on going with him, saying he will need help, since the gang is still there.
Ty and Gemma arrive at the Peaveys’ homestead to find the house collapsing. They hide until the Specter, the Seablite Gang’s ship, leaves.
Shula Peavey has gotten her unconscious husband, Lars, into their ship. She’s trying to save their animals. They can’t afford to replace them and the unsalvageable losses are already too great.
The three manage to get all the goats and chickens into both ships.
