Food.
Booze.
Weapons and armor.
And—any toilet paper he can find.
It’s been a rough time for Gus Berry.
He barely survived the city of Annapolis as its population underwent a violent transformation, leaving everyone he knew or loved either dead, or undead.
Things aren’t much better now, though. In fact, things might have become much worse.
Living off the land, foraging for food, water, even medicine, and being able to adapt to a changing environment… all takes a special individual, with an exceptional skill set and determination to survive.
Gus Berry is not that individual.
He needs food. Booze. Weapons and armor. He needs clothing that fits, and, above all… he needs toilet paper. Preferably two-ply.
To get any of that requires him to do the one thing he can’t face doing, and that’s leaving his modern mountain fortress and returning to Annapolis, to the horrors that roam the streets, searching for the living.
To make matters worse, winter looms, and he must get those much-needed supplies before the snow piles high and blocks the roads.
Where Gus’s only concern, then, is maintaining his sanity.

Thanks Keith, me and my boy can’t wait for the 2nd prequel. We’re just finishing up Mindless.
Happy days,gus is back love the series.looking forward to more adventures more laughs more gus.
Outstanding. I look forward to the read.
Looking forward to the 2nd MM Prequel. I had the sads at the end of Mindless so it will be good to travel with Gus again as he risks his life for his favorite item: 2 ply toilet paper. (:
You cannot imagine how excited I am Breeds will have another book, maybe even two, OMG. I love this series so much. Thank you Keith!
You know I’m re-reading Mindless (the unbelievably great Mountain man 6th book) and it just occurred to me that Collie is very much like Karma. Absolutely bad azzes.( salute to Aliens, lol) I love the way you write strong female leads!
Excellent! I miss the early days of G3 (Gus, guns, giggles) and the wife wondering what the hell I’m laughing at…purchased and marked on my calendar. Thanks for your work and contributions to the word, Keith!
Keith, you deliver yet again, thank you sir! Mountain Man is my favorite series, and I see that R.C. Bray will be narrating the Audible version again. R.C. has the perfect voice for this series, can’t wait.
I love this series of books. I am in chapter 8 of Mindless. I’ve chuckled multiple times with the banter back and forth between Gus and Milo. I have a twisted since of humor anyway but this book just does something for me!! Wish things were different for Collie but guess happiness is what you make it in a post-apocalyptic world! Thank you a million times over b
