This isn’t a review because I edited the book (so I can’t be completely objective) – I just want to let people know about it.
And get it now at a bargain $0.99, while it’s still that price. It is easily worth at least $2.99 (more standard for this level of writing), and I and others have suggested he increase the price. (for other indie writers – I think it is a better marketing plan to start out at a higher price initially, a “new release” price, which gives you some wiggle room according to pricing, and then lower it over time (maybe after 6 months, and then a year, when a sequel comes out, etc…) – that is a fairly common practice, and probably a good idea)
I think this is a good post-apocalyptic story that anyone interested in the genre would enjoy reading. And then look forward to reading Part 2. Book 2 is a continuation, with something of a cliffhanger, but you can reasonably just read the first part and stop if that is a concern. (I’ve heard/read those concerns before with other book series) Here is the description from Amazon:
Romantic relationships and family were complicated enough before human civilization collapsed eighteen months ago. In The After, an advantaged Team of survivors led by a gifted surgeon and her warrior lover, a retired marine, and a taciturn former drone pilot, navigate human needs for love, family, and community in a dangerous and pitiless world.
When they must save one of their own from an unidentified lethal illness, Dr. Rainey Vidic’s efforts are tortured when an savage horde of highly intelligent, relentless creatures threatens the lives of their entire Team.
Desperate to save their teammate, the Team encounters an imperiled town of survivors that may hold the key to saving them all.
