The Useless of Wasteland

"Darkness closes in and, unable to resist, I close my eyes. When I open them again, the world has changed."

When author Alex Baker crashes his truck, he wakes in a dangerous, dystopian world that is all too familiar: Wasteland. A chain of islands filled with garbage, populated by convicts, and ruled by a tyrannical warden. It is the world of his unfinished novel.

No longer in control of the story, Alex must navigate Wasteland as a character. Thrust into danger, met with suspicion, his only hope of survival lies with Mabie Nightlady—the book’s protagonist and the leader of a group of rebels. Though wary, Mabie offers Alex her protection. Her distrust and his unease eventually give way to friendship, passion, and love.

Unfortunately, Mabie is supposed to die at the end of the book. To save her, Alex must either find a way back to his world—and lose her forever—or change the story from inside it.
