This was something I worked in high school that I've been trying to publish for years now. The Gunslinger is a sci fi dark fantasy western it's the best description I can think of. It's a comparable to a lot of other works but this piece is what many will find to have a heart and soul.
It's a coming to age story that's not like every hero tale you've ever heard of. I know what a tagline, no I'm telling the truth the depth this book goes into will have your eyes it's a bit long. It is written by a first time author. I understand I haven't talked about what it's about but my pitch is this:
In this sci fi dark fantasy western the wasteland is a harsh place. Cities and towns pop up every week, the world has become dried up and consumed by corruption. Everyone is out to get you or you're out for them.
Come along for the ride as we follow the journey of Jobedia Juntez as he tries to make a name for himself. He takes on a job he thinks will be a good start only it's a good start at almost losing his life.
This story has many protagonists, a merc trying to put the past in a box, a young man with potential, a possessive evil slowly trying to physically corrupt a good man and a woman who's lost herself and trying to find purpose. The biggest take away in it for you is to just start the journey yourself and pop this book open and read it.
