"I had a blast reading this novel, it flew by really fast and I couldn't put it down. Quite impressive for a first time novelist, up to par if not surpassing many other books I've read in the fantasy genre. Sendrowski didn't skip a beat to keep the story progressing and towards the end I was getting upset that there were so few pages left to read."

"The book is riveting; if you're an avid reader like me you might read Dregs of the Culver Waste for a few hours without a pause. I only put it down because my kids were calling for me, and I picked it right back up after they went to bed! Again, I'm not normally a fantasy fan, but this book seemed more real and purposeful than some of the other fantasy books I've read. I would definitely encourage you to give this a try. It's so great to read something a little outside your normal "box", and you might even find that you like it!"

"Fantasy becomes poetic beneath Christopher’s pen as details come alive of the dark, horrible wasteland and conditions. The reader can feel the descriptive words, whether it’s blisters upon the sun-baked skin and parched lips crying for water or the shivers from the cold within the freezing, black tunnels. The storyline is captivating, as it doesn’t take one long to become hooked as we walk with Michael on his journey. Deep, inspiring I couldn’t put it down. Add the twist of magic and you have a fantastically unique post-war fantasy that apocalyptic readers will not soon forget clamoring for more of this series."
★★★★★ Amazon Review
"Wow. This was truly amazing. The author had managed to create a world totally new to the fantasy-sci-fi genre and it is not peopled with either zombies or werewolves or dragons. Imagine that. An original thought now days! This world and the people and creatures that inhabit it are new, fresh and scary. The future is bleak and looks to get even bleaker. Without beating any political drum or doing any virtue signaling, the author manages to give us a look at a future where someone's worst nightmares were allowed to go free. And they eat you if you are not careful."

Michael stared at the sand as nervous sweat slid down his brow. The nagra were everywhere, nesting beneath the polluted ground, waiting to drag down the unwary. "And it only takes one false step," he whispered. A tough break, but that was the life of a Culver cleanser. Dig, scrap, disarm and hope to return from a work detail with enough fingers to still count your pay. But as with any risk there are great rewards. Even in the Culver Waste, a land fouled by a decade long war and plagued with poisonous elemental traps and vicious predators, treasures untold remain hidden beneath the toxic sands. Relics, scrap, weapons, even entire cities... all abandoned and forgotten after the last great magic war swallowed the land whole. But not everything can remain lost forever. And when Michael Carter and his work crew unearth a mysterious bunker while on a cleansing run, they soon learn some things are best never found again.
