Venetian Red: The Exiled King The Eastern Wasteland is the only place on Earth where anarcho-capitalism thrives after the World War 4. In this system, government is entirely replaced by the free market and private companies at most level. Here, where no nation and no law to enforce any rule. Bandits, gangs, mutants, and corporations roam without accountability. But amidst the chaos, some still try to establish order. Common stories feature weak protagonists striving for power. This is different. Our protagonist, once a powerful leader, now desires simplicity. The War overwhelmed him. He avoids leadership, choosing the solitary life of a mercenary, wandering the wasteland, but fate seems always drag him into trouble "Venetian Red: The Exiled King" takes place in the same post-apocalyptic world as its predecessor. However, this sequel stands alone. You don't need to have read the first book to enjoy this story.
