Forager – A Post Apocalyptic/Dystopian Thriller, Book 1 by Peter R Stone

Twenty-year-old Ethan Jones lives in a post apocalyptic, oppressive society that terminates anyone with radiation-caused mutations. Because of that, he lives in constant fear, for he has an incredible mutation that gives him an edge that allows him to survive encounters with the vile Skel savages who roam Melbourne’s ruins.

His life becomes complicated when he rescues a mysterious Japanese girl from the Skel and brings her back with him, for she breaks the town’s rigid conventions when she tries to get to know him, placing their lives in jeopardy. Her odd behaviour and probing questions baffle him, as does the fact that he understands her when she speaks in Japanese.

At the same time, the Skel ramp up their attacks on the foraging teams. Is this part of a larger plan that could spell the town’s doom? And why do the Skel suddenly possess advanced technology ?
