Wizard of the Wasteland:
The Wasteland Series: Complete Omnibus of the Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Series
by Jon Cronshaw

It’s like a big scavenger hunt set in a post-apocalyptic world where you must fend for yourself.
This story is based around a central character, Abel who is a past drug addict who is fighting to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
In a world where no one knows how to read…
Abel meets with the “Wizard” of the Wasteland, a showman who has harvested technology from the before time. Together the two embark on a journey that brings them into conflict with a child-enslaving drug-peddling gang known as The Family. But no one leaves The Family.

Knight of the Wasteland: Book 2 of the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series
No one leaves The Family…
When Abel meets a boy, David who has fled The Family, he takes the kid under his wing. The Family, an organization that deals drugs and steals lives is an old enemy and threatens Abel’s group. How will Abel deal with “The Family” and keep the boy safe and off drugs.

King of the Wasteland: Book 3 the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series
A new terror has arrived…
Along the way Able introduces David & Sis to Sal and the folks at Trinity as well as Jacob and the people living at Grid.
Self-proclaimed King Omar and his army are bent on taking over at cost and any way necessary. Can Abel lead a group of reluctant fighters against the battle-hardened forces of the King? And will Trinity survive?

Cleric of the Wasteland: Book 4 of the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series
The Road to Redemption is Long...
Abel is trying to help Sal find absolution from her church. Traveling beyond the city, Abel must escort Sal to the Protected Zone. This is a long hard journey full of surprises.
This series was an awesome binge read for me. I’m glad I didn’t have to wait for the next book since it conveniently came all together. It had action and adventure with endearing characters in a vast dystopian world. I would recommend this series to everyone.

Sputters near the finish line....

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not normally a reader of series, but the preview intrigued me enough to give it a try. And....this reinforced my personal prejudice against ebook series, but not so badly as the usual. My problem is this: there is a good bit of unnecessary verbiage towards the end of the story arc, seemingly to make word count. There are actually passages where the characters travel from one location to another and then decide to travel elsewhere, with the accompanied details of each travail along the way.
As for the storytelling itself, there are few complaints. As the POV stays with the central character, development of the others is limited, but sufficient. Our protagonist Abel is a multidimensional being, confounded by choices that are often either hard....or harder. A tragedy early on shapes his outlook moving forward, as can be expected. My main problem is that scenes that should be climactic are rushed, leaving me wondering "Well, how did that happen?"
A big plus is the writer's talent for describing the minutiae of life in the dreary dystopian future keeps the narrative believable. I'm about to start on the prequel, invested as I am in the central character, and I will hop aboard for any future volumes, as there were plenty of unanswered questions left to work with. Can't say this about many series!

Awesome post-apocalyptic series!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022

All of the characters in this series are very interesting and many are entertaining but Abel, main protagonist throughout, is a character that touched my heart and will remain a favorite long after this review is posted. Abel is a flawed man (who isn't) but he tries to live and love to the best of his abilities. The world is very well described and easy to picture in my mind. There is turmoil, heartache, danger and sadness but, also, moments of joy, adventure and hope, always hope. I highly recommend this series as well as all of the very talented author Jon Cronshaw's works.

Loved this story

I really enjoyed this story. The story is so unique and it hooks you in when the relationship between Abel and Pip develops. The characters are so well written. Loved the kids David and Sis. There is so much death in the story though that I really believed he was going to kill himself. Another thing that was not explained was what happened at the lawless zone. Was the protected zone the only civilized society left? And last but not least why did Sal have to die? (sorry spoiler alert) ...Overall great writing by the author. Ps: Clark the character whose God is Superman; " Truth, Justice and the American way"...that was genius. I can't stop laughing, loved it.

I enjoy dystopian stories. This one was not what I was expecting. It is not Christian, although there was talk of God, Jesus and faith. The words damn it was used far too often.

I found this unexpectedly good

I admit I was bored when I downloaded this series ... and I didn't expect too much - but boy was I mistaken! This is an artful tale of hope and love with lots of dark humour and interesting characters and situations. I'm sad to have reached the end of the series and would love to know what happens next with Abel.

Excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2021

I have reviewed each part separately so this is just an overview.

This is one of the best series I've read because of its great writing, characters and it's set in a believable (if awful) world that I could imagine would happen because of those in power today.

The Wasteland is a desolate place, where Abel attempts to survive amongst decay, dangerous gangs and little to no sustenance. He scavenges amongst the ruins of 'before' and trades what he can with various groups; the main one being Trinity, a community of Christians. Sal is the leader, one who dedicates her life to 'saving' people for a god that she believes is real. I don't like her judgemental attitude or smugness. She has no idea what the Wasteland is really like and prides herself how her community survive so well.

Abel is the best of everyone. Humble, wise and brave. I loved his philosophy on life and how Sal's god meant nothing to him and yet his heart is the biggest of them all. Pip was another favourite. David and Sis were also on my 'like' list, but not many others though the Town was intriguing.

I don't want to give away anything, so it's difficult to say too much. The writing style reminded me of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men - the melancholy with maybe a thread of hope - Abel's hope.

Themes such as cruelty, greed, selfishness, cowardliness and mean alongside hope, wisdom, bravery and love, in addition to the actions, thoughts and feelings of the characters, while set in a world of impossible, made this a compelling read.

Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable story telling of hardship in an apocalypse of brutal people and how people could survive after an EMP strike and how the lucky ones ignored misery of their fellow man.

Life in the Wastelands is incredibly hard & dangerous. Survival is a daily fight.
Overcoming the lure of drugs is a constant challenge.

This story illustrates a I dff.aren't perspective on the how& why we choose to rise to fight the challenge.
Well developed charactars. Constant dangers.
Great read!

Good apocalyptic story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2023

So many apocalyptic novels revolve around Zombies it's refreshing to find a book that's based on a different angle, my only criticism is that the chats between Able and Sal became a bit repetitive and I had to skip a few pages, but I would read another book by this author
