The Center at the Center of The Blast: Rucksack Universe

By Anthony St. Clair

With knowledge comes hope… or the potential for annihilation.

A hundred years ago, The Blast burned, scarred, and scared the world. Now people start to try to understand what happened. What The Blast means. And if it could happen again.

 

The Rucksack Universe series combines alternate history, speculative fiction, myth, adventure, globetrotting, and intrigue—all with well-poured pints of beer. Library Journal says Anthony St. Clair's storytelling has "universe building reminiscent of Terry Pratchett," and readers say they love the Rucksack Universe's unique combination of "quirk, wit, travel, and magic."

About the Author

No matter how hard we try, the fires of The Blast burned through the sad dreams of our lives and exposed the raw truth: Beyond the thin skin of the world is the same void you see when you peer at your gaze in the mirror.
