Gabriel's Watch - Book One: The Scrapman Trilogy by Noah Fregger

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am the author of this book. I gave it four out of five stars in hopes that you wouldn't run for the hills.

The apocalypse…

I wanted to write science fiction, but not just for the sake of writing science fiction. Gabriel's Watch is ultimately a story for everyone. I wanted to bridge a gap between sci-fi fans and other readers, and the only way I could do that was to keep the reader grounded in something familiar.
Why did I go with a post-apocalyptic world?

Because Vampires are played out!

Just kidding. They’re both played out. The truth is, like everyone else, I love post-apocalyptic scenarios. However, I wanted to put a new spin on it–something (dare I say) unique.
I know what you’re thinking:
Unique? In science fiction?
But it’s true! I wanted to jettison the clichés and leave the reader with something real, something they wouldn’t think they could get from a book with a robot on the cover. I wanted them to be mentally rewarded.

And as much as I love the apocalyptic genre, I would totally understand if someone took one look at my book and said, “Geez, if I see one more book or movie about the end of the world, I’m gonna gouge my eyes out!”
I know what you mean, because I felt the same way! But as fans should be, we are loyal to the genre and stampede in hopes of seeing something new. I was disappointed far too many times, and the story I wanted just wasn’t coming. So I decided to write it myself.

And I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
