MAD MAX, EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
Hungry and alone in the desert, Kid is picked up on the side of the road by Wolf, Dolly, Tank and Pretty Boy: a raider crew with a big, bad reputation and even bigger guns.
But as they journey across the wasteland, Kid learns that her saviours are hiding a terrible secret. In a world that's lost its humanity, how long will Kid stay hungry before she loses hers?
'A full throttle, sand-in-your-eyes, no holds barred ride through a Mad Max-style wasteland' Lila Bowen (aka Delilah S. Dawson), author of Wake of Vultures
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Merbeth centers the humanity of the bad guys in her gleeful postapocalyptic gore-fest debut. A crew of raiders and cannibals take in a wandering 16-year-old girl, dub her Kid, and shove her suddenly into their lifestyle of killing off townies, taking their stuff, and enjoying dinners of canned beans and fresh meat amid wound care and cautious camaraderie. When they hear that a mysterious figure named Saint is trying to return law and order to the wastes and has a reward out to anyone who brings in their crew alive, they decide to take the fight to him. The setting is barely sketched out and the action sometimes feels like a text description of a first-person shooter game, but McKenna makes it hard not to root for her quirky, amoral killing machines: gap-toothed, dreadlocked team leader Wolf; creepy Dolly with "blue hair and an assault rifle"; low-key, solid Tank; and Pretty Boy, who always runs away.
