Book II of the Temujin Saga
Books by Adam J. Whitlatch
Matt Freeborn is a weller, one whose job is to seek out the most valuable commodity in the wastes: clean, potable water. The weller’s precious cargo makes him a prime target for attack from savage road pirates, grotesque mutants, ravenous cannibals and ruthless private armies.
Armed with his trusty sidearm, the Well Digger, Freeborn is fully prepared to handle any of these terrors, but there are still things even the weller fears: the bogeymen of the wastes… distillers.
On the eve of World War I, the Martians from the original H.G. Wells classic have returned to finish what they started, but this time humanity is ready. Armed with steam-powered battle machines created from reverse engineered alien technology, the global defense force A.R.E.S. prepares for the coming conflict as tensions rise in Europe. Captain Eric Wells, an orphan of the first War of the Worlds, commands Earth's newest, most formidable weapon... the colossal battle tripod Goliath.
Based on the award-winning animated film by Joe Pearson and Tripod Entertainment.
