Junk Planet

Welcome to a planet-sized landfill where the sky rains the garbage of untold worlds, hermit crabs the size of carts migrate in thundering tides, an entire civilization worships what it cannot read, and the law of the wasteland is based on how many bullets you carry. This is Sundry. Mind the drops.

Three individuals are set on a collision course when a damaged vessel makes skyfall, and there is a survivor on board who could upset the delicate balance of power on this blighted world.

SONNY SUNDAY, the charismatic tyrant with a silver tongue and chip on his shoulder. A showman, sovereign, and self-made god of the Midway, the one semi-functional settlement in this trash heap. RAGS, a retired mercenary turned hermit who lives by a brutal warrior's code at a toll bridge he now calls home. The wasteland calls him a legend. The children call him a monster. CARGO, a stranded off-worlder hiding under an assumed name. She knows how to read, and that makes her an enemy of the glittering despot and his carnival kingdom.

The Redactors, agents of the throne, have discovered that there is an outlaw reader on the loose, and the wasteland is about to get shaken by the wild journey of Rags and Cargo as they quest to adapt, survive, and overcome the forces of the brutal regime and unleash the truth.

A standalone science-fiction epic of forbidden literacy, junk yard chivalry, and savage adventure - for readers of Wool, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and The Book of Eli.
