The Wanderer Mark Cox

The Wanderer was written to show the different sides of human nature when society breaks down. It also shows man's persistence to create different classes and form segregation, even when mankind is on the brink of extinction. This is the story of not one person or class but the different people and classes that now reside in a dying world, drawn together to fight against a tyranny that threatens their very existence. After a nuclear war that almost wiped all life from the planet, one country remained habitable for the last remaining life on Earth, where humans are placed into two classes, those that are privileged are known as 'Vault Dwellers' and are given the opportunity to live in the city sized vaults deep underground were life continues as it did before the holocaust. The Uplanders are those that where deemed unworthy of Earth's last remaining haven and left to walk the scorched earth were only the strong survive. Two people now hold the fate of the Uplanders in their hands, one fights to create a single society and bring the cursed down into the vaults and the other fights to leave them to their fate and through his quenchless thirst for power gain total control the vaults. It is a battle that will bring together in unison every class to fight for mans right to exist. This is the story of that battle, this is the story of 'The Wanderer'.
