Set in a post-apocalyptic world, King of the Natives is the first in a series of books following Detective Stuckler as he wages war against the "natives"- humans that have been battered into monsters by a virus – armed only with his gun, knife and foul language. After veering from his mission to learn what happened to his family, he finds himself facing a mutable world as the natives' behaviour changes for the worse and he is tugged into a quest to find out what is to blame – but getting to the truth proves his greatest challenge yet. Stuckler is uncompromising when it comes to the natives, but sentimental at heart; he yearns for a better world in which he can relax and find love, although it remains to be seen whether he can escape the wilderness with his body, and mind, intact.
