Set in a land where criminal gangs rule this is a great story of one mans fight for justice for his family. Devastation is a bloody and often brutal story that sweeps you along with the hero as civil unrest rapidly turns into a civil war as the people of a land decide enough is enough.
Daniel D Longdon has written a story that makes you wonder how close our own society is to a melt down if one man arrived to say 'No more'
Looking forward to more from this author.

Thought provoking, action packed and emotional. This book of civil war on Albion takes you through the full spectrum.
Jason De Silva lives a normal life with his wife Jacky and two young sons. Everything is perfect apart from the local Skav family the Smiths. Their filthy, lawless and lack any honour and decency. Usually people try and stay out of their way and so would Jason until one day his son comes home with a bruise from one of the young Smith lads. A harmless conversation with the family turns into an attack against his home and hearth and leads to the start of a civil war that sweeps across the country.
His fellow countrymen hear of his plight at being accused of murder whilst defending his home and all agree that enough is enough. The time doesn't fit the crime and societies slowly being corrupted by a Government that's apparently all for the people.
From far and wide people come to Jasons aid on foot and horseback to fight for their country and win it back from the Skav hoardes that are grouping together and taking over the cities.
Jason himself goes through personal tragedies and has gone from a simple family man to the leader of an Army.
Very detailed and realistic scenes of violence that's in keeping with a book about war. They may say violence doesn't solve violence but it seems to be working in this book. It's not my typical read and I was quite squeemish at some points but a war book isn't going to be fluffy with lovely marching songs, it's gritty and tough.
Not for the faint of heart but very eye opening as it mimicks the problems all our societies face today. Almost makes you wish there was a Jason out there brave enough to rise up for all of us.
No editing errors that I could notice and the language used was unique as it captured the different dialects of the characters .
Go out of your comfort zone and try something new....like Devastation!

A real down to earth book set on another planet thousands of years in the future. A very believable story in a society torn apart by civil strife.
