About this audiobook
The year is 2083. The global population has been decimated by the final flu. The United States - not united for a long time - is no more. New lines have been drawn. Five divided nations stand. The story begins in one nation, the New West, which is much like the Old West. A harsh landscape and a society without technology, laws or base human agreements to guide us. Here in the New West, three lives intertwine in a quest for meaning, pleasure and power.
A Will to Meaning follows Sheriff John Newman in his quest for meaning in the heart of the wild Comanche empire, turned thriving Texas Hill Country, turned desolate and violent and ruthless once more.
