Bredun: Outcast of Darkness

A new novel by the best-selling author of “The Epicenter of Darkness.” A fantastic action survival story after a nuclear war—in the radioactive inferno of the future, on the ruins of a dead civilization. A post-apocalyptic shooter in the very best traditions of the genre. A different view of the World of Great Darkness—through the eyes of an outcast-bredun who was born in the back of a truck during yet another raiding expedition in Moscow and grew up on the ash heap of Russia, burned in the nuclear fire.

Twenty-five years after the war, no one remembers where the very word “bredun” came from, or which verb it derived from—“to wander” or “to rave”? After all, their entire life is like fevered delirium: endless drifting in search of uninfected lands, clean water, and loot; robberies and murders; radiation sickness and crippling mutations; deadly raids on surviving settlements that managed to preserve order and rule of law; relentless enmity with other gangs and civilized enclaves—where breduns are seen not even as barbarians, but as wild beasts that must be shot like wolves… Yet they are people. Fallen, terrible, deadly—still people. And to save their loved ones, they’re ready for any feat—even a suicidal raid to the Epicenter of Darkness, into the radioactive underworld of ruined Moscow and the brother grave of the Moscow metro…
