M. Elliot Lamb 
Beneath a Wrathful Sun 

Durante is getting old, and the struggles of age eat at him more than the wasteland he lives in. Scared by the effects age is having on his memory, Durante sets off to the other side of the country in search of his family home, and the memories it contains, hoping it is still there. He finds himself accompanied by two unexpected youths with contrasting histories, who unknowingly challenge Durante’s view of the world and himself. But, the cult of bandits, and their schizophrenic leader, threaten to cut his self-discovery short.
