Rain - Hardcover

by Jack McDaniel (Author)

Rain has returned to the Wasteland.

That alone should have been impossible. In a world stripped bare by fire, fallout, and the long collapse of the old electronic age, rain was supposed to be a rumor, a mercy, a brief mistake before the drought came back to finish the job.

But this rain is wrong.

It seeps into rusted ruins and dead soil, glimmers like metal in the dark, and carries voices no one should be able to hear. For an Engineer raised on facts, it is an offense against reason. For Tomas, it is a prayer answered. For Sera and her followers, it is proof that God has come for them.

As they travel toward old Denver, the Wasteland grows meaner, stranger, and more unforgiving. Kael's Nomechs hunt technology like heresy. Relics of the old world still wait beneath the ash, brittle and dangerous. And somewhere in the rain, something is rewriting the rules of survival.

In a land where faith has turned feral, knowledge is contraband, and the future looks as ruined as the past, one truth begins to surface:

The storm is not cleansing the world. It is preparing it.
