At last the sequel to the Old Man and the Wasteland arrived. I had work I needed to do, but there it was on my Kindle.  The temptation was too much.  I started with some trepidation.  The Old Man had been such a good read, and I had waited for so long for the sequel.  Would I be disappointed?I travelled with Boy.  I rode Horse, stroked his long face and felt his steamy breath.  I lost myself in a landscape of destruction, hiding in fear and asking questions about the time that was Before.  I was immersed completely.  I smiled, I cried, I felt the grief that only those who have lost someone really understand.  I meet many.  I walked through the Village of Happy People.Finally, I turned the last page.  I came up for breath.This book is exceptional.  My suggestions: read it slowly, savor the imagery.  If you come to it after reading Old Man and the Wasteland - start this as a fresh journey.The wait was worth it.  This is an author who deserves to be discovered, thank-you Mr Cole.
