Ship Breaker
In a post-apocalyptic future, Nailer works as a ship breaker, scavenging metal from wrecked oil tankers. This series follows his fight for survival and a better life, exploring themes of class, environmental decay, and the human spirit in a harsh world.
The series should be read in publication order, starting with "Ship Breaker" and then "The Drowned Cities." While each book features distinct protagonists, the overarching narrative and world-building benefit from following the intended sequence.
As of my last update, there has been no official announcement or publication of a third book in the Ship Breaker series. The story concludes with "The Drowned Cities."
