MWSA Review
Seeker by Glenn S. Robertson takes the reader into a post-apocalyptic world of chaos, brutality, and survival. The United States is ravaged by the red death and a nuclear weapon attack that kills the President of the United States and all of Congress. The country devolves into pockets of chaos and remnants of civilization.
The main character, Ghost, aka Seeker, travels on horseback in and around Wyoming to find relics of a once-thriving culture to prove that the nation was civilized.
When a child with special mental powers is abducted by goons working for the ruthless, bloodthirsty King John, Ghost becomes not a seeker of things, but seeks to get the child, Neva, back home to Casper, Wyoming.
Ghost partners with Jake and Carl, who follow the deliberate clues left by Leonidas and Hannibal, the abductors traveling with the young one. The two soldiers become fond of the girl and do not want to hand her over to King John. They try to slow the trek, hoping Seeker will overtake them and save the girl from a fate worse than death.
Will the tactic work? Will Ghost recover the girl without a bloody battle? Will King John exact revenge with brutality? Will Casper’s civilized community survive the evil in this new world? Read Seeker to find out.

Author's Synopsis
Seeker by Glenn S. Robertson
More than a century after a devastating disease erased ninety-five percent of humanity, the American West has fallen back into something older—and far more dangerous.
Across the harsh plains and mountains of the Rocky Mountain Free Zone, scattered towns cling to survival. Places like Casper, Wyoming, stand together against the lawless violence that stalks the land. Beyond their borders roam raiders and warbands who live by brutality, taking what they want and leaving little behind but ashes.
In this broken world, a Seeker is a rare and valuable thing—someone trained to track down lost relics of the old world, knowledge that might help the scattered remnants of humanity endure.
But this time the Seeker is not searching for an object. He is searching for a girl.
Kidnapped by a ruthless band of ravagers from the ruins of Denver, the child may possess a gift that could change the balance of power across the frontier. In the wrong hands, it could mean disaster for the fragile communities struggling to survive.
And the farther the Seeker rides into the violent lands beyond the Free Zone, the clearer one truth becomes:
Some things are worth finding. Others are worth killing to keep hidden.
