Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic America that has shattered into a hundred perpetually warring fiefdoms, anyone with a loud voice and a doomsday weapon can be king (and probably has been). Duncan Archer—con man, carpetbagger, survivor—has found a way to somehow successfully navigate the end of the world, with its giant killer robots, radioactive mutants, mad scientists, rampant nanotechnology, armed gangs, sea monsters, and 101 unpleasant ways to die.But when he meets Captain James Barrow, a former OSS agent and the most wanted man in the world, Duncan finds himself a reluctant hero caught up in a whole new level of weird, rollicking adventure…And the second most wanted man in the world.Tales from the Radiation Age is a throwback to the pulp-origins of science fiction, painting a vision of the future that’s richly detailed, wildly imaginative—and altogether too easy to imagine.

About Jason Sheehan

Jason Sheehan is a former dishwasher, fry cook, saucier, chef, restaurant critic, food editor, reporter, and porn store employee. He was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and though he has since fled the Rust Belt repeatedly, he still harbors an intense fondness for brutal winters, Friday fish fries, Irish bars, and urban decay. As a young nerd, he fell hard for Star Wars, Doctor Who, William Gibson, Roger Zelazny, and the spaceships-and-rayguns novels his father would leave on his bedside table. He dreamed of someday befriending a robot, stealing a spaceship, and wandering off across the stars in search of alien ladies and high adventure. Since that hasn’t happened (yet…), he now writes about it instead—which is almost as good. And yet despite all this, his mother still kinda thinks he should’ve been an orthodontist. Tales from the Radiation Age is his second novel, after A Private Little War, and he’s also the author of the memoir Cooking Dirty.

Goodreads review by Joni on February 10, 2014

My rating is somewhere between really liked it and "a most thoroughly wicked ride". It's been some time since I've had *fun* reading a book. While it has many of the standard dystopian elements, it is by no means a standard dystopian tale. This book was an adventure from beginning to end but I never......more

Goodreads review by Joel on January 29, 2018

I found the first chapter a bit hard to read because the style of writing is just so different to everything else I have read recently. Once I got into it I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you want to sink your teeth into a long story, don't let the fact that it was originally a collection of short storie......more

Goodreads review by Tammy on October 21, 2021

Umm… really out there! 🤷🏻‍♀️ This book was confusing most of the time but I couldn’t stop listening. While I didn’t really connect with the storyline as a whole, there were so many laugh out loud moments. If I’m being honest, if it were for the outstanding performance of Nick Podehl, I most likely wo......more

A FINE TALE OF A TALE OF A TALE OF A TALE OF A TALE OF A TALE IT IS... Hello, this book is, without a doubt, the best rambling story that I have ever read. I could be telling you truthfully for sure or I could be lieficating my tale off. Considering that I done ratified this doohicky with 5 of them......more
