Crazy Hawk: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller

R. J. Stewart

Deirdre lives for one purpose: to get her sister back. Riding her Soul Horse, Danny, she relentlessly pursues the kidnappers through an America wrecked by the Great Virus and endless civil war. She's forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she's falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister. To defeat them, she'll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there's a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy. They've even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary. Crazy Hawk.

Praise for this book

"A riveting futuristic tale of global ruin and rescue...In this post-apocalyptic tale, a fierce woman sets out to rescue her kidnapped sister and exact revenge...Stewart constructs a chilling, barren world and suspensefully chronicles Deirdre's mission...This is a thoroughly absorbing book, one filled with thrilling action and psychologically subtle character portrayal."-Kirkus Reviews


"An exhilarating story of love and family...The ubiquity of black-powder guns, horses, and outlaws gives this future-set novel the intriguing flavor of a Western, as do its gritty scenes of graphic violence: bullets are shot through eyes, bones are broken, and wounds heal over time if at all. Meanwhile, people's relationships evolve in unexpected ways; all are complex."-Foreword Clarion Reviews


"Just like he did with Xena: Warrior Princess, RJ Stewart has built an amazing world and filled it with bad-ass characters. Crazy Hawk: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller had me on the edge of my seat, following Deirdre and Jube on their adventures. Every page reveals a surprise about what our world has become in RJ's vivid imagining of a possible future. Please, please, let there be a sequel! I'm not ready to be done with these characters or their world." Liz Friedman, Emmy nominated writer of Orange is the New Black, The Good Doctor and House.
