One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2018

A rogue vigilante known only as the Wanderer seeks redemption in a lawless, near-future America that fully protects the rights of armed citizens to stand their ground against mass shooters and motorcycle gangs.

When the Wanderer opens war against injustice in the state of Arizona, his violent yet principled actions attract the attention of journalist Rosa Veras, writer of a subversive blog about America's return to the Wild West. Rosa's investigation into gun corporation Breck Ammunition awakens the ire of CEO Gerard Breck ... and brings the Wanderer to her door.

Meanwhile in Liberty, ex-Sheriff Ben Martin attempts to return lawless to Rosa's hometown by forming a ragtag militia of ex-cops. Things start to unravel as Martin loses track of the difference between criminals and anyone who gets in his way.

The Wanderer and the New West won gold for Dystopia in the 2018 Readers' Favorite Awards and best Western Fiction in the 2018 National Indie Excellence Awards.
