Battle for the Wastelands($11.99Value)

Description

In a desolate world where dirigibles rule the skies and blood soaks the dry earth, a young man joins the fight against a tyrant who has problems of his own. Andrew Sutter returns home from hunting to find drought-wracked Carroll Town under the thumb of a tax collector from the cannibalistic Flesh-Eating Legion. A riot becomes a battle, leaving Carroll Town in ruins and Andrew alone in the merciless Iron Desert. Saved from certain death by the riders of rebel chieftain Alonzo Merrill, Andrew finds himself fighting for their doomed cause. Meanwhile, Grendel, first lord of the Northlands and the Flesh-Eaters’ ultimate master, finds his peace of conquest disintegrating as the warlords under his thumb begin battling one another. He plots a new war to reunite them as the starving Merrills launch their last, desperate offensive. And Andrew may be the one holding the key to victory… Fans of Stephen King's Dark Tower , George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire , L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s Corean Chronicles , S.M. Stirling's The Peshawar Lancers , and AMC's Into the Badlands will thrill to this fast-paced first volume of a saga of war and intrigue on a continental scale. "Author Matthew W. Quinn keeps things moving along at a fast clip with lots of gritty action scenes, including a great dirigible battle late in the book. I get the sense that he's barely started to peel away the layers of the story he envisions for this world, and I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next. BATTLE FOR THE WASTELANDS is good, solid post-apocalyptic science fiction, and if you're a fan of that genre I certainly recommend it." -James Reasoner, New York Times best-selling Western author. "A rip-roaring post-apocalyptic adventure that will have you racing through the pages!"-Jack Conner, New York Times best-selling author of The Atomic Sea ." Battle for the Wastelands is a gritty, fast-paced war story centering on the powerful concepts of revenge and leadership."--Jason Sizemore, editor of Do Not Go Quietly.
