ONE WAY

by Benjamin Davis

In a world where youth with wings are commonplace, Timber's life is destroyed as pillars of fire tear open the city streets beneath his feet, throwing his life into a hellish struggle to survive. He already had it bad enough, being illiterate, underweight, living as a part-time drug dealer, and bearing a set of wings that always stood out from the crowd unless kept hidden. In the ruins of the city, surrounded by a freshly post-apocalyptic world, the extremely underweight teenager shouldn't stand a chance, but a lot of dumb luck, aggression, and a will to stay alive keep him going, but for how long?

Far from a typical post-apocalyptic/action novel, One Way deals with harsh realities, consequences, human kindness, and inhumane cruelties rather than machismo and relentless action without context.
