Overview: Earth has been decimated by nuclear warfare and a new world has emerged from the ashes. A world where highway robbery, disease, famine, and cannibalism have become the new norm.

Join Joseph, a former lawyer attempting to navigate through this lawless nightmare, and his small band of traveling companions while they embark on a perilous journey full of bloodshed as they attempt to reach The Outpost: a safe haven offering food, shelter, and security to anyone who can reach its fortified walls.

Arriving at this relative oasis, situated in an otherwise desolate wasteland, will come at a high price for Joseph and his companions. Once on the inside, Joseph will quickly realize that their greatest tribulations are yet to come and that someone is always willing to fight for power, even if there is nothing left to rule over.

Verdict: In what is a gripping, fast paced, thoroughly engrossing, and above all, genuinely well written, elegantly sculpted new book from author Ben Date, I cannot stress enough how much of a page turning pull his prose had on me (especially late afternoon into the evening into the night time.

Captivating and vibrantly interesting, from start to finish, which is a genuine rarity in this business for this genre, I just could not put this book down, yet had to twice (for sleep), but still managed to have it read within two and a half days.

Indeed, aside from the writing, I truly loved the writing, for the characters and the plot both came alive and off the pages and into the mind. You could picture what these characters looked like just by reading and understanding the first chapter, which aided greatly in the book then being a free flowing aspect to its overall prose.

Thus, and in what was an interesting take on a post apocalyptic/wasteland environment, this intriguing, world building book is one that I not only highly recommend, but one that fully deserves to garner a worldwide audience.
