Rust & Ruin

C.K. Seneca is a former infantryman now working as a psychiatric nurse across the remote hinterlands of Canada and the United States, including five years in the high Arctic. He channels that hard-won experience -- of soldiers, and of the mind under pressure -- into Rust & Ruin, his debut novel and the launch of the post-apocalyptic Detroit series. He lives in North Labrador, Ottawa Set in a Detroit gutted by civil war and carved up by gangs and foreign powers, it follows a hollowed-out soldier dragged into a deadly conspiracy and the toll survival takes on whatever's left of him. A hardboiled noir for mature readers, Rust & Ruin will land with fans of Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon and the lawless, scorched-earth grit of Mad Max -- readers who want their dystopia brutal and their heroes compromised.
