An early unfinished novel and outline by one of America's most listened to radio talk show hosts. Written between 1983 and 1988, "The Survivor" is an anti-nuclear story from this conservative writer and talker. It tells the tale of how two families try to survive after a limited nuclear exchange between the U.S. and Russia. Filed with the detail Savage is known for, this story will take the reader on both a sea passage to Mexico and the South Pacific, and a mind-trip to a world we all fear, and for which few are prepared.
“The writing is superb. The themes are terrifically complex. If nothing less, you’re putting this out as part of the collected writings does offer insight to you in a way that students of Savage would enjoy immensely. It is fascinating for me to read it, knowing this was where your head was at in the late ’80s. So much of your current voice is there, but it is also very different as well. It’s like seeing an early work of Picasso.†Review by Ian Kleinert, Objective Entertainment
