Matt Freeborn is a weller, one whose job is to seek out the most valuable commodity in the wastes clean, potable water. The weller's precious cargo makes him a prime target for attack from savage road pirates, grotesque mutants, ravenous cannibals, and ruthless private armies. Armed with his trusty sidearm, the Well Digger, Freeborn is fully prepared to handle any of these terrors, but there are still things even the weller fears the bogeymen of the wastes...distillers.
The Weller (Audible Audio Edition) Adam J Whitlatch AW Miller Books
When we think of the Apocalypse you think about the necessities - food, water, shelter. Adam Whitlatch gives us a post-nuclear world where the most valuable resource is water and the men that can get it for you have the most dangerous job in the world. It's a dystopian future so it's not supposed to be pretty or happy. It's full of fallout, mutants, and broken communities.Now I'll say this to get out of the way - it's not a perfect read, but the majority of the errors are the kind of thing other writers tend to fixate on (I would have re-worded that, you're using that adverb *again*, etc) and the ending was a little too neat for my tastes. It's a fast read, and that's important because any flaws that surface in this world in the hands of a less skilled writer would have become problematic.
Matt Freeborn is a man that can find water in the aftermath a war that has reduced anything green and sustaining to dust, yet we never really got to see him in action doing the thing he's known to do. He does outrun pirates, fire a really big gun, and drive an awesome car but if I have a wizard on his way to the store, being chased by Bad People but the most he does is whisper "abracadabra" once or twice, I lose the reason for having a wizard. There are points where I felt that Matt Freeman was just a guy with a lot of a commodity people needed who found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time instead of a man who had skills that could be exploited. If there are more Weller stories, I hope I get to see him in action as a weller.
Having said that, it was fun to read, immensely enjoyable and I never had a chance to wonder when it was going to end. There is lots (lots) of action, exactly 1 hot woman, and a gritty landscape so dry you'll feel thirsty turning the pages. I liked to nomadic aspect of the story, felt the stark loneliness and desperation of the characters, and relished the action. Regardless, these were feelings after the fact. I enjoyed the read as it was happening and I look forward to reading more from Whitlatch and of The Weller.

The Weller (Audible Audio Edition) Adam J Whitlatch AW Miller Books Reviews
A well-written post apocalyptic story. The main character is easy to relate to, even though the setting is very different than most people will ever experience. I'm looking forward to more full-length novels following this.
Learned about this at a panel at a Sci Fi convention. Read it, loved it, am really pleased to have it as part of my personal library.
A close friend recommend the book to me now I need more. Do I need say more, thank you Mr. Whitlatch.
Evan C. has already done a post on this fine work of Mad Max-esque post-apoc fiction. I finally read it this week, and yeah, it’s an awesome tale with action, car chases, and shoot outs galore. It reads more like a classic western, and in this case the noble steed is a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner (highly appropriate).
I grew up reading what a friend of mine calls "post-modern pulps." Stuff like Jerry Ahern's SURVIVALIST, Jason Frost's THE WARLORD, and Craig Sargent's THE LAST RANGER. Occasionally, I'll pull a book from one of those series off my shelf for a reread and they are always good fun.
THE WELLER harkens back to those days when the best post-apocalyptic stories involved gun battles waged from classic muscle cars screaming through a desert landscape.
The characters are fleshed out and not just cardboard stand-ins. The dialogue rings fairly true. There are just enough hints of back story to make the reader want more.
I'm very much looking forward to more WELLER stories!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book set in the Midwestern US following a devastating nuclear exchange. The characters were well-written and the storyline enjoyable. As I was reading, I kept thinking of Hugh Howey's "Sand"; although the circumstances in "Sand" were quite different, both books tell stories of survival in worlds where the protagonists are separated by only a few generations from our current times, yet the stories they've been told of their ancestors' technology, comfort, and wealth seem all but fairy tales to them.
Loved it! What a fantastic apocalyptic romp through the wasteland! I was reminded of the post-nuke books I couldn't get enough of back in the 80's. The only difference being that The Weller was actually a great story with great characters, characters you come to care about.
I'm a big fan of postapoc "fantasy" - that is to say, stories that aren't of a "prepper" nature. If you are a fan of Mad Max style postapoc fiction, this is one fits the bill.
Although it could be a stand-alone story, I really, really hope that Mr. Whitlatch continues with these characters and gives us more!
