Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine it could happen to us...
In the years since the Twelve-Minute War, the planet has fallen into darkness and chaos. The combined impact of nuclear, biological, and chemical agents has rendered the majority of the world's fresh water unfit for human consumption. Only the bravest men and women dare to venture out into the desolate wasteland to collect this precious commodity. Matt Freeborn is one such man... a weller.

The weller's precious cargo makes him a prime target for attack from savage road pirates, grotesque mutants, and ravenous cannibals. Armed with his grandfather's trusty sidearm, The Well Digger, Freeborn is fully prepared to handle any of these terrors, but there are still things even the weller fears: the bogeymen of the wastes... distillers.
A high-octane post-apocalyptic thriller from the author of Vengeance For My Valentine and War of the Worlds: Goliath.
