Produktbeschreibung
The old world is a memory, swallowed by dust and neglect. In a post-apocalyptic Australia, survivors wander through the ruins of a long-failed civilization, clinging to fading traditions and the desperate hope of finding sustenance. Jett Riley, a resourceful young scavenger, navigates the vast, dust-choked plains, haunted by the ghosts of a forgotten past. His path crosses with Rory Macleod, a pragmatic and gruff builder who believes in the tangible work of his hands, and Willow Blake, a quiet elder who preserves the ancient rhythms and stories of the land, drawing strength from traditions others have forgotten. They face relentless environmental hazards-scorching sun, dust storms that blot out the sky, and the constant threat of collapsing infrastructure. Fragmented survivor groups, driven by desperation, pose their own dangers. The Withered Ground is a raw, unflinching look at the end of an old world. It's a story of clinging to life amidst collapsing systems, haunted plains, and the profound challenge of finding meaning when everything has turned to dust. But even in the desolation, the soil remembers, and a flicker of human resilience endures.
Autorenporträt
Gregory Parrott is a writer of the stories he always wished someone else would write. Blending sci-fi, historical fiction, thrillers, military tales, and fantasy, Gregory invites readers to simply kick back and enjoy the ride. A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, Gregory balances his passion for crafting captivating narratives with a vibrant family life, cheering on his kids, and paddling with his dragon boat veterans team. When he's not immersed in fantastical worlds or historical battles, you can often find him unwinding with video games or hitting the pavement for a run. A proud veteran currently serving in the Army National Guard since 2011, Gregory brings a unique blend of discipline and imagination to his storytelling. Many of the tales you'll find within his pages are stories he first dreamt up as a teenager, finally brought to life for the world to enjoy.
