The Wasteland Series

Abel survived the end of the world, but survival and living are not the same thing. He scrapes through a post-apocalyptic wasteland trading salvage, accompanied by his dog, until he witnesses a group of children being held in slavery and cannot look away. Jon Cronshaw's four-novel Wasteland series follows a flawed, struggling man trying to find purpose and sobriety in a world that offers little reason for either. The collection brings together the complete arc of Abel's story in a single package.

The Virtual Voice narration is an AI-generated performance, which will suit some listeners and not others depending on their tolerance for synthesized delivery. The text itself carries the series' strengths: a propulsive premise, genuine stakes, and a protagonist whose addiction is treated as a real obstacle rather than a convenient plot device. Listeners who prioritize story over narrator performance will find the full series a satisfying listen.
