Black Horizon
(2025)(The seventh book in the Dust Rider series)
A novel by SerpentPatch 118 and Craig Zerf
When the sky stops telling the truth, law has to.
Refugee Train Two is rolling into the black glass—longer, darker, closer to the line where stars die. Cole isn’t a king; he’s a custodian with a blue ring, a broom, and a cat that can freeze a battlefield with a look. Councils are meshed, shields hum, and the Expedition Charter says no spectacle, water before power. But the Black Horizon wasn’t born—it was engineered. Nodes whisper trials, crowns dangle shortcuts, and every ‘helpful’ offer comes with a camera hidden in the bow.
Inside the roar: hinge-toned tactics, witness nets, child-height charters, and Sierra—Nightstalker—holding the line without spilling a drop more fear than necessary. Raids pivot. Rivers argue. Paperwork saves lives in real time. And beyond the band is a silence that wants a story… unless Cole and company write a road instead.
Expect: progression stakes, clever systems, tactical carries, found-family grit, a zero-tithe doctrine, and HUD snapshots that actually matter. Perfect for readers who want their post-apocalyptic with brains, heart, and receipts.
The Black Horizon is humming. The region is ready. Hooks are for stories. Roads are for law.
