Review
Savage Survival is more than a story of survival, it's a cautionary tale that blows open the standard concepts of strength and power. Lyda is an amazing heroine, one whose strength lies in her ability to adapt and a personal sense of honor she refuses to compromise. Darrell Bain has written a truly fascinating story, one that will stay with the reader long after the book is closed. I highly recommend Savage Survival to anyone looking for a book that has it all--a fast and furious plot, powerful characters and a message as frightening as it is empowering. --Kate Douglas, author of Wolf Tales.

Product Description
Millions of earthmen have been captured by aliens and are being put through the strangest and most terrifying survival tests ever imagined. Young Lyda Brightner's first experience after being thrown into the midst of undisciplined humans is so horrible that she vows she will never let it happen again, and that somehow she will live long enough extract revenge on the creatures responsible. She doesn't know that the trials are just beginning. Again and again she has to call on the only resources she has available: her own innate bravery, her quick mind, her unwavering belief in the innate goodness of the majority of humans and ultimately, her belief that eventually she will find someone to love. But even if she lives through all this, she will still have to face the final question. What do the aliens have in mind for the few survivors? Savage Survival is a coming of age novel like no other and Lyda Brightner is a character you'll remember forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful "Darwinian" science fiction, September 2, 2008
The aliens came and conquered the Earth without much resistance. Many humans died in the first wave; other became guinea pigs for horrific survival testing though none of the earthlings know why. That is the pandemic big scale impact.

However, there are little stories also that roll up into the globalization nightmare like that of eleven year old Lyda Brightner. Her beloved father Bruce is dead; her equally overprotective mom Elaine is gone and assumed either dead or about to be dead. Lyda is hurt badly, but awakens in a camp with no protector. Someone named Boris sells her for a brick and water to Big Bill. He mistreats her and sells her to a slave owner. Lyda escapes and meets Ginella Sparks who is hiding with her baby having escaped from the "spiders". Lyda vows to never be abused again as she finds an inner strength to protect herself and those who soon depend on her for leadership. As she and the others adapt to a rough terrain and the alien tests they grow stronger mentally and physically. They each wonder what the spiders have in mind for the dwindling survivors.

Readers will enjoy SAVAGE SURVIVAL, a wonderful "Darwinian" science fiction tale that questions what human strength truly is. Lyda is a terrific lead individual who mentally grows stronger with each horrific adventure as she adapts to whatever is thrown at her; she truly comes a long way from the overly-protected suburban tweener to a powerful ethical leader. Darrell Bain provides a coming of age saga of a pampered loved preadolescent becoming a strong independent woman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darrell does it again, December 21, 2007
Darrell grew up loving to read what we would call classic science fiction, and he writes in the tradition of the masters. But of all the Bain titles I've read, and there have been quite a few, this is the first time I've seen his take on a good old fashioned alien invasion. Well, not exactly "good old fashioned," since this is Darrell we're talking about. The tradition of the masters includes writing something never seen before, which can be easy to forget in this jaded century. Darrell's still writing things we haven't seen before. I'm impressed. You will be too.
