Synopsis

"Scott Christian Carr and Andrew Conry-Murray have fashioned a wasteland tale reminiscent of some of my favorite apocalyptic movies. A BOY AND HIS DOG and Cormac McCarthy's, THE ROAD come to mind. Fans familiar with the genre will not be disappointed!"
--david j. moore, Author of WORLD GONE WILD: A SURVIVOR'S GUIDE TO POST-APOCALYPTIC MOVIES

"Of Mice and Men Meets The Odyssey in a Post-Apocalyptic Future"
--Cary Caffrey

"The only thing I didn't enjoy about "Wasteland Blues" is that it ended..."
--Daniel Haeusser

WASTELAND BLUES
With a Foreword by Tim Deal, Shroud Publishing
Having only ever known the uncivilized wake of nuclear and biological apocalypse, three friends-and their wheelchair-bound hostage-set out on a perilous fool's mission: to cross from one side of the devastated United States to the other, in the desperate, half-believed hope of finding a rumored haven. Spurred by a dark vision and the murder of their parents, rageaholic Derek Cane and his oversized, simple-minded brother Teddy flee the only home they've ever known, a struggling shantytown on the edge of the vast wasteland. Heading ever eastward, they are accompanied by their friend John, an orphan brought up by a fanatical religious order, and Leggy, a crippled old drunk who brags that, in his youth, he once traversed the wasteland as a scavenger.

Wasteland Blues is the first book of a post-apocalypse Trilogy.

Wasteland Blues delves into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where any semblance of
government has been lost and the world is open, in chaos, but ultimately "free." Three
friends and a reluctant guide undertake a dangerous journey to discover whether a haven
exists on the other side of the country so ravaged by nuclear and biological catastrophe.
Drawing on past apocalyptic works but with fully fleshed and unique characters the authors
explore themes of violence, loyalty and survival. Fans of A Boy and His Dog and The Road
will be interested in this novel.
