The Vagrant

The Vagrant is his name. He has no other.

Years have passed since humanity’s destruction emerged from the Breach.

Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape.

As each day passes the world tumbles further into depravity, bent and twisted by the new order, corrupted by the Usurper, the enemy, and his infernal horde.

His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war.

What little hope remains is dying. Abandoned by its leader, The Seven, and its heroes, The Seraph Knights, the last defences of a once great civilisation are crumbling into dust.

But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place.

★★★★★ 'For fans of classic science-fiction literature, this is a must-read.' – SciFi Now

★★★★ 'Come visit this brilliantly imaginative land of winged swords and broken solar cells.' – SFX

‘The Vagrant is a joy to read: an original and engrossing world, a strong story and a protagonist who is intensely charismatic despite – or because of – his silence. Newman’s debut is written with confidence, flair and imagination, bringing his dark world to marvellously macabre life’
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Author of Shadows of the Apt series

‘A stunning and ambitious debut novel set in a unique and imaginative world where the only hope rests on the capacity of human beings to love’ Melinda M. Snodgrass

Hated the performance

The way the reader talks is frustrating, it's like a constant pausing for dramatic effect! I did enjoy the story quite a lot. Wish I would've read it instead of listened to it.

Intriguing story with great character building

I really liked this book for the time it took to build character's backgrounds but I think it lacked on a clear building of the world itself. I was a bit lost at times with the infernals, half breeds, the commander, and the Usurper relationships at times.

Fabulous all around

creative, fun, funny, horrible and beautiful. So nice to not be disappointed. Narrator is fantastic as well.

Something new!!

I've honestly never encountered this style of writing before, and I am now officially hooked. The elegant storytelling skills of the narrator combined with this original work of epic scifi/fantasy kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end!

if it wasn't for the reader, I might have quit.

There are a few moments in the book I liked but as a whole it was vague and stumbling at times. even in it's most intimate times I always felt disconnected. I doubt I'll read the other two in the series. Great reader, though.
