He has since divorced the story of its Fallout ties, and has released the first volume in what should be a series of book of this now fully original post-apocalyptic tale, available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.<blockquote>Out of the irradiated wastes comes a soldier. On the far edge of the trade routes, in a small farming community, there lives a mechanic. Two men from a previous era, surviving through steel and cunning in a world of degenerated philosophy; a world where the old tech is treated with savage, animistic worship.
