Hunting is discussed a lot. Earlier in the book, characters are shown hunting rabbits. Two characters joke that another character killed a bear and made bear jerky out of him.

No nuclear explosions, but there were meltdowns at various power plants prior to the events of the book. Several characters in one power plant worked to avoid a meltdown and succeeded, but they all died of radiation poison later on. Towards the end of the book, there is a terrorist plot to drive a car full of explosives into a nuclear power plant, but they are thwarted. There is mention of a novel in which a girl is the sole survivor of a nuclear apocalypse.

Greg drugs Danielle, claiming he was just giving her tea. It is not clear what he gave her because he denies that it was a roofie. She is nearly comatose as a result of having been drugged.
