About this ebook

There are some who call a journey over the Shells a dead man's walk while there are others who say nothing is alive on the other side...unfortunately they are wrong on both counts...

To its bitter end, the Groom Lake/Area 51 complex has held its secrets from prying eyes...until now..

Though Evil has survived the predations of the cVc, travelling the wastelands no longer involves just him and a burwar. A gendog trails at his heel and he has a woman by his side. Many of his paradigms have had to be rebuilt but Evil's dynamic mindset serves him well in this present day. When the airport Jheriam had used to travel here is found to be overrun with mutant filth, there is only one path that can be taken so that Jheriam can make it home.
While crossing the Shells is basically only a physical act, what awaits on the other side is anyone's guess. Though Evil and those with him survive the crossing, the aftermath results in even more change. Life and settlements do exist on the other side of the Shells but things there are even more disruptive and disturbing than back east. In between the realization that human beings were responsible for a lot of the mutant filth walking the land and a former gambling mecca that has become a lawless armed encampment, the desert turns out to be a welcome place despite the warnings on the signs.

The status quo out west is neither 'excellent' or suitable regarding the main entities involved in the region. Novo Angeles has risen from the ruins of Los Angeles but while that is proof that human beings can't be kept down, all is not well regarding the new settlement and its suburbs. In return for being alloted power from its reactors, the outlying areas around Novo Angeles are drafted to protect the borders from mutant incursions, perform other chores that are equally as dangerous and submit to the authority of the Eugenics Control Board. Though a revolt some years earlier was quashed, the suburb of Yobros has a more cohesive plan this time thanks to the one now in charge of things but neither side is prepared for what comes wandering in from the desert wastes. Novo Angeles and Yobros are both living in a pipe dream; while Novo Angeles stands firm by its virulant cultural (and esepcially mutant) intolerance, the Yobrians are hard at work tearing at what they perceive to be the status quo while calling any sort of violence backed assertiveness 'bogus'. Traders normally stay clear of situations like this but Evil's treatment by Novo Angeles motivates him to take sides as not only an instigator this time but also as an investor. In the midst of Novo Angelen business attire and Yobrian sk8r fashion, a heavy steel toed boot covered in dirt and filth will shake their paradigm to its core with no guarantee of anything remaining...

Timothy Linnomme

Life is essentially what you make of it and I have found writing fiction is not only challenging, it can be a lot of fun (and a lot of work!) I write in an adult vein and I am neither worried about sacred cows nor do I shy away from the dark side of homo sapiens. I have worn a lot of hats over the years and I like to think each new experience has something to teach as you grow and flourish from the input. I currently live in NW Ohio.
