Snakebite

After the Dust Settled

by Jonathan Mary-Todd

Ever since the last of their parents died at the Frontier Motel, Malik, Beckley, Hector, Martin, and Emma have been on the move. Gene Matterhorn's Wilderness Survival Guidebook helps them defend themselves across the northern plains. It helps them identify the snake that bit Hector. But it doesn't help them avoid an ambush, where Emma is kidnapped by a weathered, gnarled man and his gang of kids, bearing the same snakebite scars as Hector.

Now the group is on the offensive, using the guidebook for new how to make weapons and track footprints. If they can trust one another―and avoid killing themselves―they just might be able to hunt down their attackers and get Emma back before it's too late.

This book was in the genre of science fiction. Personally, I am not the biggest fan of this genre, but I felt like this book was not too bad. The only thing I wish I could change is picking up the first book of a series instead of the third book. I had to do a little research about the background of the story, and after doing so, I started to understand the book better. This book is about a guy named Malik and his friends moving locations after finding out all their parents had died. On their journey, they got attacked by another dangerous group of people, causing them to lose one of their friends lives, and one by getting captured. For the rest of their book, their goal is to find the captured friend, and did not stop until they did. When they finally found the spot where the tribe would be, they barely escaped death. Luckily, they were able to find their friend, take down the leader of the tribe, and convince the others to help and join as one to survive. I thought this book was pretty good, but I would definitely not say it was my favorite. I would not necessarily recommend this book.

I support this series after reading Plague Riders.
