Review

"Seven very gifted survivors are destined to rebuild their country after a nuclear apocalypse... If they can stay alive long enough to find each other. Impossible to put down." - The Review Blog
 

Product Description

                                         "This is Safe Haven Refugee Camp. Can anyone hear me?

                                                                   Hello? Is anyone out there?"

"The end of the world has given us a harsh, merciless existence, where nature tries hard to push mankind to the very brink of extinction. Everything is against us, between us...

Untold miles of lawless, angry roads wait for our feet, and the Future, cold and dark, offers little comfort. Without CHANGE, there will be no peace. Only Survivors."

"Set along the lines of The Stand and The Postman, this is a chilling vision of the collapse of all society and the rebirth of a nation by those who survived. So much more than just another fantasy quest."  -The Review Shop


Fated to lead New America, seven special people survive the apocalypse, only to find themselves on an adventure that will shake the very core of who they thought they were. From dangerous trips into dark, decaying cities, to patriotic rescues and magic revelations, Life After War is an action-packed fantasy where those left must come to terms with their mistakes in the old world, while fighting for a place in the new one. 

The Survivors: Book One. It's the start of a new magic, fantasy, and horror series that Stephen King and Stephanie Meyer fans have been hoping for. This way, please...
 

The Survivors has been an Amazon bestseller in fantasy series, dark fantasy, science fiction adventure, and romance series, 29 consecutive weeks and sold more than 10,000 copies in its first year.

More About the Author

I was told a writer's bio was mandatory if I wanted to be taken seriously as an Author. Despite wondering if that's true (It's the story that matters, right?) I dug in and this is what I came out with:

Hello,
I'm Angie. (Pen name)

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, lets you and I take a little stroll. There's a story I need to let out of its cage and I think it's one you need to hear. It's about the end of the world as we know it...



PS. Little pleases me more than to explore the dark fantasy and horror stories in my head. Knowing other people like them is second only to the magic of this new career I've chosen so feel free to drop me a line or post a review.

As a die-hard Cincinnatian, I much prefer writing to the stresses of being a city Taxicab dispatcher. Thank you for making my dreams possible and for looking at this page. I doubt many do.

Also:(This is NOT a 3 set series. I never said it would be done in three books. )



Looking for more? My Dark Fantasy Blog is a good place to start.

I don't usually write reviews for books I've read, but I just had to share. I have read all 3 ebooks (it is also in print an all-in-one). Hooked in the very first chapter. I am glad that I am blessed with a vivid imagination. I can easily see this as a mini-series somewhere.

Marines, Magic and devastation. Survivors come together with a strong sense of Patriotism and Community. One man's vision for a new America (and a SECRET that he must guard at all costs) and the people who are willing to die to make sure that it happens. The characters are both well developed and likable, though some aren't. Likable that is. Some survivors will become heroes, some will be villains in this new world as they were in the old, but much worse and some will discover a strength in themselves that they never new they had.

Book three ended right when a major battle for survival was nearing. The 1st chapter of book 4 has made me impatient for what will happen next.

I give it 4 stars because I really loved the way it not only drew my attention but kept it (I read late into the night). I literally couldn't put the Kindle down! It would have been 5 stars, but for the typos, weird sentence structures and odd punctuations. It was a little annoying.

I happen to be a nut for end of the world fiction, movies and books and this vision of the future is truely chilling. I loved it. It was so realistic! From the nuclear blasts to the way society simply collapsed. Great writing, very vivid. I could almost feel the sparks between the Mother an the Father and there's a lot of action. Tornadoes, sand storms. Just a great read. Can't wait to dig into book two, on the road.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, August 28, 2011

I won't review the plot as its been done many times here, however the book had me hooked from the second page. The grammar and use of words do leave a great deal to be desired but as a lover of end of the world novels I was far to engrossed in the characters and the development of the story than to have more than a mild annoyance when I came across these errors. I always find it hard to believe that a publishing company would put out a book with the grammatcial erros but I am so greatful to have come across the book. I am off to download book 2 - On the Road!
