With only a month left in the hunting season, a young man faces the final days of his rite-of-passage. Rome always dreamed of being a hunter for the village. The hunters are daring men who get to explore the world beyond the small mountain valley that shelters the village, but to become one a boy must prove his skills by consistently returning with sufficient meat to earn a permanent place among the hunters. If he fails, then he will be consigned to work the fields as a humble farmer. For an adventurous youth like Rome, that would be a fate worse than death.But fate is fickle and one day while returning with his best kill ever, Rome discovers that monstrous raiders have ransacked his home and carried off his friends and family. Now, with only the aid of his chief rival, Rome must head west into the irradiated lands to seek out powerful artifacts that might give him the power to rescue his kinfolk from the hands of the mutant slavers. And so Rome embarks on a journey that takes him farther than his dreams of being a mere hunter ever could.
This post-apocalyptic story features the sort of action and heart you've come to expect from my stories, including a healthy dose of adventure, exploration, romance, and the sort of bonds of brotherhood that are so often overlooked in today's sci-fi literature.
The official release date for A Moon Full of Stars is May 23rd, but you can pre-order your copy at Amazon.com today.
