Some men choose to wander. Others never had a choice.

Twenty years after the fall, what's left of the world is a savage, lawless wasteland. Most survivors huddle behind the walls of scattered settlements. Nomad isn't one of them.

With only his fiercely loyal cattle dog Anger by his side, Nomad crosses a shattered America, haunted by a debt he fears he can never repay. Every mile tests the limits of his resolve, forcing him to face brutal climates, deadly wildlife, and people who've long forgotten what humanity looks like.

In this dead world, loyalty is rare, morality is expensive, and survival demands a price most men aren't willing to pay. But Nomad keeps walking, always ready with a wry comment and his trusty shotgun.

Raw. Gritty. Darkly funny.
A powerful debut novel about what it truly costs to do what's right when nothing else is left.
