Publisher Description
Nick Cole sends us on a suspenseful odyssey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic America in this three-part adventure
Forty years after a devastating thermonuclear Armageddon, mankind has been reduced to sal-vaging the ruins of a broken world. In a style that's part Hemingway and part Cormac McCarthy's The Road, The Wasteland Saga chronicles the struggle of the Old Man, his granddaughter, and a mysterious boy as they try to survive the savage lands of this new American Dark Age.
With the words of the Old Man's most prized possession—a copy of Hemingway's classic The Old Man and the Sea—echoing across the wasteland, they journey into the unknown through three incredible tales of endurance and adventure in a land ravaged by destruction.
Compiled for the first time in print, The Wasteland Saga comprises Nick Cole's novels The Old Man and the Wasteland, The Savage Boy, and The Road is a River.
Customer Reviews
Awesome!
I have to agree with the reviewer who said that this is the best post-apocalyptic book they'd ever read. That is quite a statement, considering that I've tried to read every one I can lay my hands on, both old and new. There are certain aspects of The Wasteland Saga that I think will stay with me forever.
Could not stop reading
I devoured this saga as quickly as I could, to the detriment of my job, my health, and my family. I lost myself in the world Cole created. Incredibly gripping story, moving narration, and compelling characters. And the very end of the saga was perfect. Just brilliant. Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is nothing compared to Cole's saga.
Best post-apocalyptic story I've ever read.
