Stranger

Welcome to the post-apocalyptic frontier town ofA Las Anclas, where the sheriff possesses superhuman strength, the doctor can warp time to heal his patients, and the distant ruins bristle with deadly crystal trees. In the deserts outside of town, teenage prospector Ross Juarez's best find ever - an ancient book he doesn't know how to read - nearly costs him his life when a bounty hunter is set on him to kill him and steal the book. Ross barely makes it to Las Anclas, bringing with him a precious artifact, a power no one has ever had before, and a whole lot of trouble.Originally published by Viking (2014)REVIEWS:'...The five dynamic narrators and action-packed plot deliver thrills while slyly undermining genre cliches.
