A Post Apocalyptic Tale wrapped around a Believable Story.In

the year, 2017 a plague decimates the global human population with a

survival rate of only one in six hundred. One nation after another is

infected and accusations of bio-terrorism lead to nuclear war. The

Western Hemisphere is spared from any nukes but eventually the plague

arrives in the USA leaving only a half million alive. A three-year

nuclear winter kills even more. Social structure is nonexistent and

anarchy is prevalent.

It is in this world that Jake Markett must

travel to a refuge in South Georgia, a bastion of hope and safety for

the few survivors who make it there.

Walking down a rural road in

the post apocalyptic world of 2026, Jake Markett hears the sound of

children screaming in terror and goes to their aid. From that moment, he

and the three black children he rescues are on a dangerous journey to a

place of sanctuary.

Their path is hindered by the arrival of a paramilitary gang led by

John Saint.They have to fight every inch of the way to the facility a little

girl nicknames, Heaven.

As they travel, they rescue others from Saint's men. Jake falls in love

with one of the women he saves. This is a story of survival and what it

means to be human.

There is a Science Fiction thread woven through the pages that is essential

to the plot but is not the dominate theme.

This novel contains graphic language / violence and Action Packed Excitement.

I read the reviews before buying and I have to say the other folks here hit the nail on the head. I read this book in one sitting and I cannot wait for the sequel. This story is about survivors, all bearing their own wounds and scars, and how they come together to form a family in the face of adversity. Jake is a great character, outwardly assured and confident but also carrying great pain and guilt that weighs on his soul. The author has created three dimensional characters without sacrificing a fast-paced plot, and as the story of the Plague unfolds piece by piece, I was left shaken by the implications.

Five Stars

I WAS AMAZED AT HOW WELL WRITTEN THIS BOOK WAS. A GOOD MAN WHO SURVIVED A DISASTER, WALKING TO FIND HAVEN, THE LAST SAFE PLACE IN THE US. AS HE TRAVELS HE RIDS THE WORLD OF EVIL PEOPLE AND SAVES THE GOOD. ON HIS JOURNEY HE MEETS AND HELPS SOME GREAT CHARACTERS. I FELT LIKE I KNEW THESE PEOPLE. ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL. HOPE IT COMES OUT SOON.
