“There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.” ― Friedrich NietzscheUpdate:If you prefer the Amazon Kindle version, you can get it FREE here: http://www.amazon.com/Enter-Ruinland-...Could you survive in a ruined world?

Of special note: In the spirit of 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner The Road by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men), quotation marks were not used in the story. Cormac has a unique writing style that myself and millions of others love and appreciate. I hope you enjoy reading and please let me know your thoughts. Two more additions to the story are in development: Survive Ruinland and Exit Ruinland are scheduled for future release.
Enter Ruinland
is the searing dark chronicles of human and synthetic life following a future nuclear apocalypse. The world war, triggered by religious terrorism, causes the remnant of humanity to question belief in God and the meaning of life itself. An artificial intelligence will sentence to death all humans incapable of authentic emotion. Within a military bunker are 70 survivors who face execution by a fabricated assassin. A soldier with a troubled past must come to terms with a horrible truth. One woman's lustful choice may have fatal consequences. Survivors have two choices: stay underground and be controlled by artificial intelligence, or take your chances outside alone in the desolation. This is a story about the mystery of life, the finality of death, and the struggle to survive in a devastated world.
