An Unlikely Hero Emerges...,
By
This review is from: Pandemic Dawn : Book One (Paperback)
Pandemic Dawn offers a look into a future that has been devastated by a deadly man-made virus. Although all hope seems lost, a man named Karl "Lunk" Taylor emerges and tries to make sense of the newly destroyed society in which everyone now lives.
On a quest to find his son, Taylor encounters many people on his journey, some good, some bad. He has many tough decisions to make. Does he stop to help others in need or does he focus on his own problems that need solving. Taylor decides to help others. This decision is what makes "Pandemic Dawn" so interesting. It makes you think about what you would do if put in similar circumstances. The highlight of the book is the characters. Author B. A. Shields takes time to introduce the side characters and bring them to life. The "bad guys" in the book are even shown as people who make bad decisions based on their own choice of self-fulfillment. One dimensional characters are not found in this book. The story is never rushed, and everyone decisions in the book have consequences which affect the other characters in the story. Unlike other post-apocolyptic stories, this is one not based on a foundation of despair, but hope. Mankind can survive, but will it choose to? I found this book very hard to put down, and cannot wait until Book II comes out. Reviewed by: Mick McArt - March 28, 2010 Author: Tales of Wordishure [...]

This review is from: Pandemic Dawn : Book One (Paperback)
I loved this book!
I am not a science fiction fan, but gave this book a try and loved it. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventures with a hero, and a touch of romance mixed with the fear of the unknown. I'm giving it a 5 star because it really surprized me and made me want more! I can't wait until the next novel in this series is available!
