Hurricane Katrina changed Ben Riley's life forever.
After risking everything to save others during one of America's worst natural disasters, Ben is left carrying the weight of devastating personal loss. Years later, he begins again as a Bureau of Land Management ranger in the rugged wilderness of Idaho, surrounded by wild mustangs, mountain trails, and the natural world he has dedicated himself to protecting.
There, Ben begins rebuilding the life he thought was gone forever.
Then everything changes.
A new relationship offers hope. A remarkable robot named Opie enters his world. And what begins as one man's journey toward healing grows into something much larger-a mission involving wildlife conservation, technology, community, courage, and the future of the Wildlands.
As Ben and those around him confront danger, difficult choices, and unexpected challenges, he discovers that surviving the storm was only the beginning.
Filled with adventure, heart, humor, romance, technology, and unforgettable characters, Dry Lightning is the first novel in The Wildlands Trilogy-an inspiring series where humanity, nature, and innovation come together in unexpected ways.
