Rust #4
Rust: Four
“That’s what you think we are? Soldiers?”
“Mrs Archer, it’s been a war since day one."
Kimberly Archer fought her way to the border of Rustwood looking for an escape. Instead, she uncovered the town's greatest secret - and with it, brought the attention of the old and new queens down on her head.
Now she's on the run, fighting enemies on all sides while struggling to control the creature living inside her chest. Her powers are growing but she won't have time to flex them if the pretender queen's army of repurposed dead catches up with her. And with Fitch, Chan and Goodwell scattered across Rustwood in the aftermath of Kimberly's border crossing, will she be able to get the crew back together before the pretender crushes them all?
The penultimate story in the RUST horror saga is a tangled web of mystery, body horror and psychological thriller in the style of King, Lynch and Lovecraft.

About the author
Christopher Ruz
36 books47 followersChristopher Ruz fell in love with dark fiction when a worn copy of Pet Semetary caught his eye at a local flea market. He bought it with his pocket money and hid it under his bed so his parents wouldn’t see. He was just eight years old and had no idea what he was getting into.
Poor kid.
He has written and published horror, epic fantasy, science fiction, and children's choose-your-own-adventure books. His debut trad-pub novel, a supernatural horror story set in the halls of the world’s weirdest hedge fund, arrives mid-2027.
His best known works are The Ragged Blade (Parvus Press, 2019) and his ongoing horror series Rust. Meanwhile, he publishes the Olesia Anderson series of pulpy spy novellas under the pseudonym D.D. Marks, and writes Adventure Coloring Books for Insight Editions.
He has sold stories to Asimov's Magazine, Andromeda Spaceways and Apollo’s Daughters, has beaten the grueling Immerse or Die challenge twice, and was a finalist in the 2017 Aurealis Awards.
When not writing, Ruz teaches art and design at Melbourne high schools.

A lot of major things go down in this book. After the end of Rust 3, there's been some changes and some major questions opened and while some of those questions linger, one of them gets answered rather grandly. I can't wait to see where Ruz goes next.
