Series background & context
New Frontier takes the world of Trackers and moves it forward two years, from immediate national collapse into the ugly work of rebuilding. The electrical grid is still gone, the country is still scarred, and huge parts of America remain dangerous, but some structure has returned. Armored trains carry supplies. Local forces try to keep order. The problem is that one region, the territory people call the Badlands or the Wild West, never really came back.
That is the New Frontier.
The series leans on familiar faces like Sam Raven Spears and Lindsey Plymouth, while widening the cast with allies, raiders, and political players fighting over what this lawless zone will become. The setting matters a lot. Instead of sealed bunkers or ruined cities, these books work with rail lines, hard borders, remote settlements, and long distances where help may or may not arrive. It gives the series a strong frontier feel without losing the modern post-apocalyptic backbone.
This is where the western flavor really kicks in.
The ongoing tension is not just survival. It is control. Who gets to police the frontier, who gets to move goods through it, and what happens when extremist factions, disease, and organized violence start spreading faster than rebuilding can keep up. If you liked the Colorado side of Trackers and wanted more of Raven operating in a rougher, meaner landscape, this is the natural next step.
