Deirdre lives for one purpose: to get her sister back. Riding her Soul Horse, Danny, she relentlessly pursues the kidnappers through an America wrecked by the Great Virus, endless civil war and a collapse of the global order called the Breakdown. She’s forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she’s falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister.

To defeat them, she’ll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there’s a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy. They've even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary. Crazy Hawk.

CRAZY HAWK by R.J. Stewart (Hovartus, 2024.)

Get Book

“An exhilarating story about love and family set in a postapocalyptic landscape …The ubiquity of black-powder guns, horses, and outlaws gives this future-set novel the intriguing flavor of a Western, as do its gritty scenes of graphic violence: bullets are shot through eyes, bones are broken, and wounds heal over time if at all. Meanwhile, people’s relationships evolve in unexpected ways; all are complex.”
