Dissolution: The Wyoming Chronicles: Book One

By: W. Michael Gear

Narrated by: Francis G. Kearney

From Western word-slinger and anthropologist W. Michael Gear comes an entirely new type of Western--a contemporary apocalyptic Western.

For anthropology graduate student Sam Delgado, headed to the wilds of Wyoming, this is his last chance to save his graduate career. He and his urban classmates see this as the adventure of a lifetime: They are going to horse-pack in the wilderness to map and test a high-altitude archaeological site.

Until a cyber-attack collapses the American banking system, and an already fractured nation descends into anarchy and chaos. All credit frozen, Sam and his archaeological field school is trapped in their high-altitude camp. With return to the east impossible, Sam, the woman he has come to love, and the rest of the students must rely on hard-bitten Wyoming ranchers for their very survival.

Guided only by an illusive Shoshone spirit helper, Sam will discover the meaning of self-sacrifice. Even at the cost of his life.

Haunting, provoking, frightening and prescient--in the end, all that stands between civilization and barbarism is one young man’s courage and belief in himself.

Great spin on dystopia

This was an excellent story with a new perspective on “the end of the world” “dystopian” genre. And I live in Wyoming so this was a personally engaging tale to listen to.

An excellent, outstanding read!

This novel presents an educated, mature insight into the human condition through a collection of well rounded characters and both realistic and frightening situations. Narration is splendid.
It ends with a stark conclusion and challenging message to all of us. J. Mullen, Texas, USA.

Slow start comes on strong

The book took time to build the characters and then took off and did not slow down. Great book will have to check out others by this author.

At last, an apocalypse story near me.!

Most apocalyptic dystopian stories seem to take place from New York to North Carolina. Living in Montana, near Wyoming I thought I'd be safe. Now I may have to worry. Appreciate the more "western" setting.

Great Series

I listened to the entire Wyoming Chronicles series and thought they were all great. I am actually thinking that there is room for another book and watching for it.
