Final Dawn: Episode 5

Final Dawn #5

by Mike Kraus

When the end of the world arrived, it came not with a bang, as most expected, but with more of a "pfft" instead.

Humanity has been torn asunder and brought to the edge of total annihilation in less than an hour. For those who died, it was a quick death, so fast that their brains didn't have time to process the pain signals from their nerves. For those who survived, the true horror is about to begin as they struggle to not only stay alive, but find out what happened to bring such a quick end to the world as they knew it.

Following the success of episodes 1,2, 3 & 4, Final Dawn: Episode 5 continues the story right where it left off, taking you through the journey of four of the survivors: Leonard McComb, Marcus Warden, Nancy Sims and Rachel Walsh.

Final Dawn will continue to be released in a short, inexpensive episodic format, with a minimum of 1-2 issues coming out each month. A total of 5-7 episodes will constitute each 'Season' of Final Dawn, and at the end of each season, a single book with all the episodes from that season will be released in both Kindle and paperback format. Season 1 concludes with Episode 5, and a single-volume collection of Season 1 is now available by searching the Amazon store for 'final dawn season 1'. A total of 3-4 seasons are planned, with 5-7 episodes each.

Reviews

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Episode five of the box set I have continues the story of four survivors who race to halt the AI from taking control.

Human stupidity is the root of this saga - politicians, scientists and other power-hungry arrogant fools. It's an age-old problem, a Shakespearean tragedy that proves humans never learn.

Fast-paced and full of action.

Worth a look.

Can't get enough of the series!

[Stacey Alloncius · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't expecting a sci-fi twist to an SHTF novel, really losing my interest in this series. I still really like Mike Kraus' style of writing though.

Battle lines are drawn

God speed to the brave survivors. Truly enjoying this epic saga. Keep up the exciting writings as your imagination entertains and intrigues me.

I love this series. The only thing I really don't like is the whole AI/nanobots part of the storyline. Meh.

[Elaine and Tess the Springer. I won’t be on GR for a bit. · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s a brilliant read and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

[J.C. Harker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finished this book in one sitting. Very much a page turner. With all the characters in one location there is a lot of action, dialogue and interactions between the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way the flashbacks were done providing some explanation without simply being told by one of the characters. Which in fact gave me as a reader a bit more insight into how things came to be the way there were.

One thing I would have liked mentioned earlier, perhaps in passing in one of the previous episodes was the Russian submarine.

Now I'm really curious how this is going to work out with a potential cross-country trip in an APC to meet a sub. I'm curious if that sub crew encountered anything / anyone when they surfaced.
