Ain't It Cool News
One hundred years after the Big Wet. Somewhere in America...
Michael has spent decades wandering the wasteland, scavenging what he can find and selling it for a price, and it suits him just fine. He doesn't know his own last name, how old he is, or even where he was born. But Michael does know he's different, with unnatural powers at his disposal. And he's never met anyone else like him.
Now, Michael has found a strange machine that speaks in a forgotten language, supposedly giving directions to A-Ree-Yass-I - the mythical place where mankind's downfall began. And in the shanty town of Providence, Michael finds another surprise. Abi, the town sheriff, is different. Just like him.
Together, Michael and Abi set out on a dangerous journey that will take them thousands of miles across the broken earth, searching for answers.
Somewhere in the wasteland, A-Ree-Yass-I is waiting.

A hundred years after the Big Wet, Earth is broken — a barren and infertile world where the few survivors struggle for survival. When Michael, a scavenger bearing strange gifts, calls at the shanty town of Providence, the effects are devastating.
Now the townsfolk must cross the deadly wasteland to Newbegin, a nearby city where the past meets the new status quo. But Newbegin's cruel dictator is busy oppressing anyone not belonging to his church — which includes the Providence survivors.

Jakob joins the Watch to defend the city, and intrigue grips the council, as politics, religion, and high explosives combine to make a book that The Onion AV Club said, “Radiates in about a dozen conceptual and philosophical dimensions at once... in essence and execution, it rivals Hayao Miyazaki's masterful epic Nausicaa”!
