In the smoking ruins of our world, will the struggle for yesterday's
technology spark tomorrow's global war? A new postapocalyptic novel,
in which a young cowboy claims his destiny--and tries to prevent a
catastophic war--from New York Times best-selling author John Ringo,
Kacey Ezell, and Christopher L. Smith.
WAR IN THE SMOKING RUINS OF TOMORROW!
Thirty years ago, the world ended. Giant electrovoric ants and pterodons
came through a rift in space-time, millions of humans died, and that was
that. Human ingenuity has provided some creative workarounds to life
without electricity and with giant homicidal ants, but most people
merely get by at subsistence level.
For Chuck Gordon, the simple life of a rancher was enough. But then he
met a mysterious dying stranger and now he's on the road of destiny
across America accompanied by a warrior monk, a beautiful dragon tamer,
a runaway cultist, and a mystic drunken lecher--all searching for the
key to reclaiming humanity's past--and future.
