About Fire in the Wastes (Unabridged)

#1 bestselling author Donald Morrison's Fire in the Wastes is a brutal fusion of dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic horror, and western survival set in a world where magic returned through nuclear fire—and remade everything. A thousand years after the fall, the wasteland that was once America is a scarred and unforgiving frontier. Orcs, goblins, elves, and halflings now walk the same shattered earth as humanity, born from the violent collision of two dimensions when nuclear war tore reality itself apart. Civilization is gone. Law is a memory. In this new world, water is worth more than gold, and survival belongs to those willing to take it. When a desperate young girl seeks out a lone drifter to help rescue her brother, she brings with her more than a plea for help. The boy has been taken by a fanatical cult leader who believes he can awaken the last dormant weapons of the old world—and finish what the nuclear fire began. To stop him, the drifter must cross a nightmare landscape of raiders, twisted creatures, and ancient forces that should never have entered this world. As the line between magic and reality continues to fracture, the drifter must confront not only the horrors of the wastes—but the truth that some powers were never meant to be unleashed. Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower, Fallout, and Mad Max, Fire in the Wastes is a relentless journey through a broken world where survival is earned in blood—and the end of everything may be waiting just beyond the horizon.
