Newpub author Fenton Wood presents a new edition of his most popular novel!
Reynard “The Fox” Douglas is an outlaw racecar driver who despises the government that jailed him, drafted him, and seized his money.
He’s also the only man who can pilot an experimental nuclear-powered supercar into the Zone, a realm of mists and monsters where nobody gets out alive.
The Zone is expanding…and eventually it will engulf the entire world. At the heart of the Zone is a singularity, a portal into other times and other places.
Transported into the distant future of Earth, Douglas has to fight his way across a landscape of alien cultures and bizarre life forms, in search of an ancient superweapon that can stop a sentient black hole from devouring the Earth.
Inspired by William Hope Hodgson’s classic THE NIGHT LAND (1912), NIGHTLAND RACER is an exciting and inventive tale, using Fenton Wood’s trademark combination of mythology and hard SF.
Ages 12 and up. Contains mild profanity and post-human monsters.
Author’s note:
A unique combination of hard science, myth, and unbridled weirdness!
Fixed a long-standing formatting problem. I omitted page breaks so it reads like a continuous narrative, but this caused occasional glitches with the ebook. New version has page breaks.
Will give this a read. Yankee Republic was unlike anything I read before but was addictive.
I love the premise- definitely will read
Just started it, love it so far. I like how it moves along in the story (i.e. doesn’t dawdle on useless material)
DNF. It was very repetitive after the setup and I gave up. Maybe it got better later on in the book, but I wasn’t sure it was worth the effort.
