Book ID/图书代码： 03830513B66574
English Summary/英文概要： In THE WASTELAND SAGA, bestselling self-published author Nick Cole sends us on a suspenseful odyssey, emotionally rich and deeply poignant with clear, powerful writing and breathtaking action, into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic America.
Forty years after a devastating nuclear Armageddon, the survivors have been reduced to salvaging the ruins of a broken world, while trying to keep themselves safe from lingering zones of radioactivity (some leaving entire cities off-limits) and violent gangs driven mad by the massive destruction.
In a style part Hemingway and part Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, The Wasteland Saga chronicles the struggles of the Old Man, his granddaughter, and a mysterious Boy as they try to survive the savage lands of this new Dark Age through three incredible journeys, to save themselves, the future, and all humanity.
In the first journey, ’The Old Man and the Wasteland,’ The Old Man must forage alone into the desert with only his most prized possession--a copy of Hemingway’s classic story The Old Man and the Sea--to guide him, risking heart-stopping danger to return to his grand-daughter with a prize that will keep them alive.
In the middle journey, ’The Savage Boy,’ the orphaned Boy, one side of his body deformed by radiation and the other strong and muscular, rides his horse alone through the mountains of the American West to complete the mission of the last soldier, the man who was the boy’s guardian, and reach the final outpost of the American Army. The Boy makes it to the coast of California where he meets the beautiful Jin and is no longer alone. But attackers pursue them south to the desert, and not all will survive.
In the final journey, ’The Road is A River,’ the Boy, the Old Man and his grand-daughter must head east, back to lands forsaken to war’s devastation, a conniving warlord and lethal pockets of radiation, summoned by a woman’s voice that reaches them on an intermittent radio signal, asking that they save her people and their future - a mission that will demand one last great sacrifice.
