BOOK REVIEW
I also posted this review on Amazon.com
I haven’t blogged for almost a year, however, I am going to review not just one book, but a series.
On my Kindle, I have read the first four books in the “Life After War” series by Angela White. These books deal with America after a nuclear / chemical / biological war.
Book One: “The Survivors” immediately hooked me. Within the first few pages the characters start coming to life with a vibrance normally reserved for later chapters. They are individuals, each with a story to tell, who interact with the others in unique ways. You can’t really see how all of them will come together as the story progresses, but rest assured “all will be revealed”.
Book Two: “On The Road” continues to follow the story lines as they converge. Like most of us, each of these characters carry their personal EMOTIONAL baggage … revealing each item, working through it, then throwing it away on the side of the road. They each also discover talents they didn’t know they had or refused to acknowledge.
Book Three: “Safe Haven” where the stories begin to converge. The charismatic leader. The Marine who becomes his second in command. The lady who is determined to find her son. The other Marine who didn’t know he had a son. The hard-as-nails cop with the heart-of-gold. The slaver from south of the border determined to conquer America and populate it with his bastard children. They all have deep, dark secrets they don’t want revealed to the light of day.
Book Four: “Adrians Eagles”. We now get a glimmer of what the future may hold. The characters aren’t just filling out, they are growing. With each passing day some of them find an amazing inner strength that helps them do what’s right inspite of, or because of, the possible consequences.
I believe I may have become a thorn in Angela’s side. I have been bugging her about …..
you guessed it:
Book Five: (not named, as of this writing).
Angela: What are you doing wasting time reading this … get to work! :-D
