Publisher's Summary

Forty years after the destruction of civilization...man is reduced to salvaging the ruins of a broken world. One man’s most prized possession is an ancient novel. With the words of the classic echoing across the wasteland, the survivor of the nuclear holocaust journeys into the unknown to break a curse. What follows is an incredible tale of survival and endurance. 

One man must survive the desert wilderness and mankind gone savage to live the classic struggle of man versus nature. Part Hemingway, part Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, a suspenseful odyssey into the dark heart of the post-apocalyptic American southwest.

Very Fine Storytelling

Post apocalypse isn't my thing but this author does a great job. It didn't take long before I was hooked. I had to know how it would go for the Old Man, The Boy, and the grand daughter.
Happily surprised to find that anything this author does is pure gold. -or good salvage.

I think there's many more stories in The Wasteland Nick.
