About Forgive Us

"This is the book I want to hand to my friends and family when they ask what kind of work I do." - Alison Rolf, Alison Rachel Editing The Earth ended slowly, asphyxiated by man's drive for energy and silenced by fire and brimstone. Oliver, a lone rider bearing the scars of the old world, flees east into the untamed lands beyond the Rocky Mountains. He spearheads the frontier and carries the burden of civilization into the new world, destined to rebuild from the ruins. He has to survive the wasteland where the earth is toxic, and the very air itself is a corrosive poison. In the hopeless dystopian remnants, there is only the struggle to survive and endure. London, a veteran of the wasteland, shields his adopted daughter Rose from an unforgiving world. They live in a new age that'll soon draw them into the bitter feuds between fledgling nations. No matter what, London will sacrifice anything for Rose. Unbeknownst to London, they are about to be drawn right into the scourge of war. In heaven above are the Raptured, orbiting in their grand space stations until the day of their return. Simon, a man born and raised on the great Arcadis space station, faces suppressive pressure from The Peacekeepers and The Leaders. Ever the tinkerer, Simon needs to be careful as he breaks the authoritarian rules in the world he has to live in. Reminiscent of The Gunslinger and The Stand, E.T. Gunnarsson's Forgive Us provides an action-packed post-apocalyptic survival thriller for those wanting to explore adult horror dystopian fiction.
