4 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
BOOK ONE of Plague Wars - read it or the FREE prequel, The Eden Plague (Book Zero) as your introduction to this gripping futuristic thriller series. "Everything needed for a great story is right here in its pages... The novel's a fast-paced read that raises the questions we've come to expect from near future thrillers, but it has a freshness and a vigor -- and dare I say it -- a moral compass that isn't as common as with others of its ilk." - Charles de Lint: Books to Look For, Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine (July/August 2014) When US Marine Sergeant Jill Repeth's blown-off legs begin to regenerate, she thinks it's a medical miracle. But the breakthrough that heals her war injuries is exactly what the government desperately wants to quash - by any means necessary. Hunted, she must cross an America wracked by strife to try to find a family who may already be dead, searching for the inhuman secret of what started it all. Reaper's Run is an origins story and apocalyptic novel, the beginning of one warrior's journey from tactical cop to freedom fighter and beyond. It leads the reader into the acclaimed Plague Wars futuristic thriller series.

Aside from some interesting parallels to our current (and possible future) political climate, this book was unfortunately all cheese and cliché. There are also a lot of amazingly abrupt plot transitions with no segue other than "Four Years Later . . .", along with an extremely truncated ending that instead of wrapping up the story merely feels as thought the author ran out of ideas and couldn't figure out how to finish.

“. . . especially if backed up by force and even the veneer of legitimacy”. 😶

This book was published in 2013 . . . 🤔🤔 Either the author is a seer, or (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) Trump actually knows how to read 😬

For a Kindle freeby, I'm enjoying this easy, apocalyptic read quite a bit so far.
