Saddle Up Anyway: The Post-Apocalyptic Adventures of Willoughby Burns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798289570048)

Saddle Up for the exciting sequel to the cult-favorite dystopian satire, The Dixie Apocalypse.

Willoughby Burns never planned on becoming the Secretary of State for a breakaway Texan republic-but then again, the world ended weirder than he expected.

As the Second Texas Republic braces for war with the swaggering forces of the California People's Republic, Willoughby finds himself stuck between his past as a wandering outsider and his uneasy future as a national figurehead. The battles aren't just fought with bullets and bravado-there are deeper skirmishes at play: between loyalty and identity, progress and tradition, truth and spectacle.

When he's thrown together with a captured Californian officer-Lieutenant Sandy Beech, equal parts soldier, smartass, and accidental philosopher-Willoughby is forced to confront the blurry edges of his own beliefs. Friendship, feral hogs, fried food, and a woman with a killer enchilada recipe all converge as Willoughby searches for courage, purpose... and maybe a second chance at love.

Saddle Up Anyway is a riotous, heartfelt road trip through the fractured politics of a future America- equal parts satire, spaghetti Western, and sincere tribute to all things Texan.

Fans of John Wayne movies and readers who like their dystopias with extra queso will find plenty to chew on.
