Reviews
"This epic journey through a near-future, postapocalyptic landscape blends extreme suspense with serene meditation. . . . Groner offers a contemplative take on the postapocalyptic genre that leaves room for hope but doesn't stint on realism. This novel reads like Cormac McCarthy's The Road meets Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance ." -- Library Journal (starred review) "The novel blends action with deep philosophical reflections, offering a hopeful perspective on life after disaster. Perfect for fans of Station Eleven and Oryx and Crake , The Way is a triumphant success." -- Booklist "Groner paints a persuasive picture of his dystopian world, peopled with strong characters and driven by cinematic action. This reinvigorates an overworked genre." -- Publishers Weekly "Not many writers could match the marvelous, imaginative achievement of Cary Groner's The Way . Groner creates a post-apocalyptic world that is frighteningly believable and populates it with finely-drawn characters--both gracious and wicked--whose capacity for love, hope, and cruelty mirrors what we encounter in our real, present world. Part page-turner, part love story, partly a plea for respect of both human and animal life, The Way heightened my appreciation for what I too often take for granted." --Roland Merullo, author of Breakfast with Buddha "A thrilling, life-affirming adventure, The Way is a bold blend of a post-apocalyptic scorched earth, ancient Buddhism, and interspecies relationships--all packed into a tightly woven story of horror, hope, and love." --Katie Hafner, author of The Boys "Part survival story, part grimoire, The Way is a magical book. Cary Groner is a master storyteller. His glorious, enchanting prose cast a spell on me from the bleak beginnings of his post-apocalyptic tale until its symphonic conclusion. In the end, The Way tells us that the only way to survive this world we've destroyed is to make better friends with the animals who remain." --Domenica Ruta, author of Last Day "Cary Groner's The Way , with its post-frontier Buddhism and thrilling quest, is everything that apocalyptic doomer novels should be: entertaining, unsparing, and spiritual. This is an invigorating addition to the vital literature that bears witness to what we can't afford to ignore: our collective patterns of self-destruction. I loved it." --Claire Vaye Watkins, author of I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness "An ultimately hopeful vision of the aftermath of disaster. . . An engaging window into a strange new world." -- Kirkus, "Part survival story, part grimoire, The Way is a magical book. Cary Groner is a master storyteller.

An engaging window into a strange new world." -- Kirkus Praise for Exiles : "Groner shines a unique light on a remote, exotic land in his self-confident and culturally rigorous debut. His tale of a doctor and his beloved daughter takes a modern-day bent on Seven Years in Tibet and shows the country's turmoil with a palette that is as affectionate as it is startling. . . . Even the most jaded reader will be on the edge of their seats as the author carries the story home. A fast-paced but emotionally resonant story about the bonds that hold fast when we're far from home." --Kirkus "Exhilarating . . . Exiles vividly reveals the difficulty of making moral decisions, and the importance of bonds between people, in a complex world few Americans see." --James A. Levine, author of The Blue Notebook "A deeply moving tale of a father and daughter cast adrift in Nepal, Exiles shines a steady, compassionate light on the rootlessness of contemporary America." --Stephen Batchelor, author of Confession of a Buddhist Atheist, "This epic journey through a near-future, postapocalyptic landscape blends extreme suspense with serene meditation. . . . Groner offers a contemplative take on the postapocalyptic genre that leaves room for hope but doesn't stint on realism. This novel reads like Cormac McCarthy's The Road meets Robert M.

A smart, tough-minded thriller." -- San Francisco Chronicle "The novel blends action with deep philosophical reflections, offering a hopeful perspective on life after disaster.

Synopsis
Blending Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance with Emily St. Mandel's Station Eleven , this is the story of a battle-scarred survivor on a desperate, postapocalyptic road trip. In Cary Groner's vision of the near future, the world has been ravaged by a lethal virus and only the young have survived. Cities and infrastructures have been destroyed, countries no longer exist as they once did, and the natural world has taken over the landscape in surprising ways, with herds of camels roaming the desert and crocodiles glowing in the rivers, the result of some CRISPR experiment gone awry. Against this treacherous backdrop, Will, a former caretaker of a Buddhist monastery in Colorado, receives a mysterious directive: to bring a potential cure to a scientist in California--though he doesn't know if California still exists. And so Will sets out, haunted by dreams of the woman he once loved. Danger lurks everywhere. A hitman is on his tail. And the only way he'll make it is with the help of a clever raven, an opinionated cat, and a tough teenage girl who's grown used to being on her own. Both a page-turning adventure and, ultimately, a love story, The Way is an imaginative and inventive novel whose wisdom will stay with readers long after they've turned the last thrilling page., A postapocalyptic road trip and a quest for redemption. It's 2048, and the world has been ravaged by a lethal virus. With few exceptions, only the young have survived. Cities and infrastructures have been destroyed, and the natural world has reclaimed the landscape in surprising ways, with herds of wild camels roaming the American West and crocodiles that glow neon green lurking in the rivers. Will Collins, the last surviving resident of a Buddhist retreat center in Colorado, receives an urgent and mysterious request: to deliver a potential cure to a scientist on the West Coast. So Will sets out into an unknown and perilous world, haunted by dreams of the woman he once loved, in a rusted-out pickup pulled by two mules. He doesn't have much time--temperatures are rising to lethal heights, a hit man is on his tail, and armed militias patrol the roads. The only way he'll make it is with the help of a clever raven, an opinionated cat, and a tough teenage girl who has learned to survive on her own. A highly original contribution to the canon of dystopian literature, The Way is a thrilling and imaginative novel, full of warmth, wisdom, and surprises. It raises age-old questions about life, death, and how to live, while reflecting our own world in unsettling, uncanny, and even hopeful ways.
