Westward Through the Wasteland

This novel features radiation, growth, and supernatural abilities.

In a world where nuclear radiation is off the charts, Mog, a “shit rat” at the very bottom of society who lost his mother as a child and his father at eight, is inexplicably offered a fortune by Roland, the head of a smuggling gang, to join him on a “job” outside the perilous Iron Wall. Beyond the wall, there's an infectious disease that kills anyone it touches, but what else could possibly be worth going out there for? Is that really the whole story? What Mog thinks is a simple assignment turns out to involve the hidden secrets of this continent. Head west and uncover them, “shit rat”! Beyond the “Near-Humans,” undead husks warped by radiation, the “Living Dead” that claw their way up from underground, and radiation-mutated animals that take pleasure in hunting living creatures, there's something even more dangerous to watch out for: superhumans more terrifying than any monster! Keep going, “shit rat,” and uncover the world's true secrets and its severed history.
