Wayfarers - Hardcover

by Arnon Z. Shorr (Author)

"Wayfarers" is a gripping tale of survival, faith, and the enduring power of cultural heritage in the face of relentless oppression.

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by the totalitarian New Dominion, religion is forbidden. Abe Katz, a resourceful and skeptical fugitive, joins a group of Jewish refugees led by the tough and charismatic Rabbi Moshe. They embark on a perilous journey to reach the coast, where a freighter awaits to take them to safety. Along the way, they face treacherous landscapes, relentless pursuit by a ruthless Senator, and internal conflicts about faith and survival.

Moshe carries a digital archive called "the Ark," containing thousands of years of Jewish tradition, and urges Abe to preserve their cultural heritage. Initially reluctant, Abe must navigate his evolving role as a leader and protector of his people's history. As the refugees forge uneasy alliances with other persecuted groups, they face increasing threats not only to their lives but also to their cultural identity.
