R.J. Stewart’s “Crazy Hawk”: A Riveting Futuristic Tale of Global Ruin and Rescue

San Diego, CA - June 25, 2024 - Esteemed author and screenwriter R.J. Stewart releases his masterful post-apocalyptic novel, "Crazy Hawk." Described by Kirkus Reviews as "a thoroughly absorbing book, one filled with thrilling action and psychologically subtle character portrayal," this gripping tale explores survival, revenge, and redemption in a world devastated by the Breakdown.

About the Book

In "Crazy Hawk," Deirdre Buford has one purpose: to rescue her kidnapped sister, Mindy. Accompanied by her loyal Soul Horse, Danny, she pursues the kidnappers through an America ravaged by the Great Virus, civil war, and global collapse. Along the way, Deirdre allies with Jube, a nomadic photographer whose kindness touches her deeply. Despite their growing bond, Deirdre's mission leads her towards a confrontation with her sister's captors, forcing her to seek the aid of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes who view her as an enemy.

Known among the Nations as "Crazy Hawk," a nickname that signifies both respect and contempt, Deirdre must navigate complex alliances and enmities to save Mindy. Kirkus Reviews praises Stewart's ability to create "a chilling, barren world" and to "suspensefully chronicle Deirdre’s mission," highlighting her complex character and the novel's thrilling action and psychological depth.

Book Synopsis

Deirdre Buford's world has been ravaged by the Breakdown, a global collapse marked by the spread of the Great Virus and ensuing tribal warfare. As a Hussar, part of a group of ruthless raiders, Deirdre is as fierce as she is philosophical. When her sister, Mindy, is kidnapped by Tom Carlyle, a mercenary working for a powerful group known as the Bees, Deirdre embarks on a perilous journey to rescue her.

The Bees, led by Commandant Walker, subject their captives to experimental genetics programs, believing that Deirdre and Mindy may hold the key to humanity's resurgence. As Deirdre battles to save her sister, she becomes a symbol of both contempt and respect among the tribal Nations, earning the moniker "Crazy Hawk."
