The apocalypse came as a whisper.

Mother Nature had been sending signs for three years, but most didn’t pay attention until she pulled the plug on everything. Nobody will forget where they were and what they were doing at 8:13 on that morning. They’re all still waiting for 8:14. Well, at least the ones that have made it so far.

He was stuck in Atlanta traffic, making his way to work, when the world fell silent. His car, his radio, his phone, his watch, anything that needed a spark, a battery, or an outlet died. The silence didn’t last long and neither did she. He didn’t know if the yellow sundress was the first to die, but he does know that she wasn’t the last. Not even close.

As aircraft fell out of the sky, panicked drivers lost control in the fast lane, and pace makers stopped keeping their rhythms, he got out of his car and popped the trunk. Most didn’t pay attention, but he did. And he knew what was coming.

Three years earlier during the first city-wide blackout in Atlanta, he lost his Samantha to cowards who were never caught. Those looking to take advantage didn’t hesitate, wreaking havoc at every opportunity. It took less than an hour after the event for society to start its disintegration.

He made a promise to himself never to feel that helpless again. He wasn’t a soldier or a cop, but he was one of the few that did have a plan. Get out of the city, get away from people, and don’t hesitate.

May God have mercy on their souls, because he won’t.

So much to take it.

I read a lot of reviews. One reviewer wrote she thought the story made the women look weak. The women weren't weak at all. Can you imagine several men invading your home with weapons and not being scared to death. These disasters came upon the earth so sudden and no one knew was or what would happen. How do you prepare your wife,daughters or anyone for those things to happen. I thought that the women were very brave after facing what happened to them.

I didn't like that the main character blew up his family home but understood that it was necessary for him to go on and not give up on living his life.

It was traumatic, sad, funny and hopeful. I read it in one afternoon.

What do you think will happen to us and the world when judgement day happens? And it will. It will.

A Solid End of the World Tale

June 24, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Without by E.E. Burton is a very good story with lots of action, quick witted conversations, and interesting characters. The story is a journey for one man who has lost everything and is searching for home, a new start. The one thing that I really like is that when you think the lead character is about to settle, he doesn't or he can't. Another thing is what I call 'the common sense action sequences'. The protagonist tries to save the people he comes across that needs help, but when he recognizes the severity of certain situations, he knows when it's time to save himself, especially with the odds so high against him. He just can't fight everyone's battles, and he can't save the world. It's impossible. Good sense decision making on the part of the writer.

The one drawback for me was some of the conversations. Don't get me wrong. There was some outstanding characters, voices quite clear. But again, there was others that sounded like they were in the same voice. Like the way Kelly was speaking, she sounded like the protagonist. Okay, I get that she was pretty and that all of the men liked her. But she sounded like the protagonist, like a man to me. I couldn't separate the two voices.

I do recommend reading this book. Every chapter is an adventure. No cliff hangers. Great page turner. I was glad I bought it. It was worth what I spent.

Thanks for the lunch time reading entertainment, Mr. Borton.

Very Disappointing

October 23, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I keep telling myself I'll stop buying Kindle books, as it's always a craps shot as to whether or not the book was self published. This has to have been. There's no way that this book was professionally edited. There is no cogent connection between the series of the events, and the narrator is not believable. I only bought this based on reviews, but I'm convinced the reviewers must have been friends or family. The premise was sound; it was even a bit intriguing at first. All was lost in execution. There was no character development; the situations were unbelievable; and the story merely dragged. Amazon, please please start market these books with the disclaimer of self publishing!

New author on the rise, he's found his voice, and through his stories, that voice is getting steadier...look out world!

March 12, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In Abomination, we see a writer, emerging from the womb, pen at the ready. He made a few new-author errors, but was eager, and had a good story. In his second book, Suffer, you see this new writer is willing to take on subject matter that most authors will not touch. His pen is steady, and he is learning more. Now we come to his third book, Without. Here is where the author fails me personally (but clearly it doesn't take away from his rating, and there's a reason)..he's decided to jump on the 'what's popular now' bandwagon. *sigh* Without is about mother nature taking back, and correcting what us humans have tried for so long to destroy. She's removed our technology, she's wiped out the grid. Everyone is suddenly thrown back into what is basically the 19th century when it comes to technology. Now people will need to learn how to live without all the battery and electrical powered things they once had...that is, if they can survive what mother nature is throwing down...and each other. E.E. Burton's writing style is changing with each book he writes, he's more sure of himself in this book than he was with the last, and it's such a HUGE change from his first book, he is definitely an author to watch out for. I think he's still trying to throw humor into the story where he feels he can, but it still feels a little awkward with the rest of the story/dialog, but other than that, I'm impressed. I can't wait to read more from him, I can only imagine what the next book will bring.

A Story With Lots Of Action

November 9, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book was very entertaining, keeping me turning the pages to find out what happens next and where Henry was going to end up.

The protagonist (Henry) is a no nonsense, straight forward guy who takes no crap off anyone. From a past experience, which left the love of his life dead, Henry vowed to himself that the "cowards" would never again gain the upper hand against him or those he cared about.

Henry has some emotional and guilt issues he contends with via "Sam", and eventually, "Earl." I liked the way the author put our hero into this conflicting mindset. It was a different twist to your average apocalyptic story line, depicting a human side that I'm sure everyone of us is capable of experiencing under similar or more dire circumstances. I never thought Henry was crazy or mental in his ways...it's just the way he chose to deal with the world, its heartless cowards and the direction in which circumstances led him. Who knows how any of us are going to react, respond to or deal with an apocalyptic situation or circumstance, be it physical or mental.

I like how the author dipicts Henry's character as a man who goes out of his way to help others, yet wastes no time in dealing with those who would, or have harmed, innocent others. Henry's trek to get to his parents home is no easy task. This hero is not one who never gets a scratch or bump (as in some stories I've read)...Oh no, Henry is dealt blow after blow, which adds credence and reality to the entire story line.

This is one of the best fictional stories I've read, with an author who has a good writing style and imagination to keep the reader interested and turning the pages. If you like action packed stories which are not overly far-fetched and unbelievable, then this is a great read to snuggle into your sofa, chair or bed and enjoy.

Great read.

I thought this was a very good story line. I liked that it mixed in a survival story with a little bit of "other worldly" appearances and a bit of cult fanaticism.Read more
