The Vagrant (Vagrant Series #1)

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.

In The Vagrant, Peter Newman weaves an epic tale of adventure and dark fantasy, where mythical creatures and dragons abound. This top fiction novel is a testament to the best of the genre, a world where every action can tip the balance of the ongoing war.

For fans of Anthony Ryan (A Tide of Black Steel), Adrian Tchaikovsky (City of Last Chances), John Gwynne (The Hunger of the Gods), R. Scott Bakker (The Unholy Consult), and Brian Staveley (The Empire's Ruin).

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

★★★★★ '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

The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of 2016

And we thought choosing the best science fiction and fantasy books of 2015 was tough. Not only was 2016 an outstanding year for wholly new entertainments across all facets of the genre, it also featured high-profile sequels to many of last year’s very best reads. We could have easily packed the list with a dozen […]

The Vagrant Is a Light in the Grimdark

The cover copy sells Peter Newman’s fantasy debut The Vagrant as Mad Max meets the Gunslinger. Indeed, the world that our nameless, titular hero travels through is filled with demonic hoards and the callous remnants of humanity, and the scarred landscape recalls both post-apocalyptic and survival narratives. It’s a hardscrabble place, full of uncertainty, and death, and a yawning […]

New Book Roundup: Victorian Futures, Points of Light in a Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland, and a Werewolf in Oxford

This week would be a major event for SF/F if the only book coming out was the long-awaited new fantasy from Guy Gavriel Kay.
