Aaron already wasn't a normal college student. At twenty-eight, he was older than most of his classmates. He served his time in the Navy honorably and just wanted to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Instead, when the Dealer and his kind come to Earth and dismantled society, he is thrust into a life of agriculture in a strange new world. The world post Matrix is full of monsters and fantastical people of many races. Magic is abundant and wild as humanity struggles to master its mysteries. Join Aaron as he builds a new family, and a ranch he can call home. Expect blacksmithing, animal husbandry, rotational grazing strategies, pasture farming, romance, and a main character that curses like the sailor he used to be.
