Plot summary
Eli trades scavenged goods for water and supplies, hunting small animals and searching ruined houses and abandoned cars as he travels. He hides one possession: a book. The town he reaches is run by Carnegie, a warlord whose men have hunted a certain book and failed to find it. Eli barters with the Engineer to recharge his music player's battery, and in the town bar a gang of bikers attacks him; he kills them. Carnegie offers him a place in his gang, and Eli refuses. Seeing that Eli can read, Carnegie has him held overnight. Claudia, Carnegie's blind mistress, carries him food and water, and her daughter Solara is sent to his room; he turns her away.
