Eden's Warriors

A Distant Eden #4

by Lloyd Tackitt

Four years after a massive solar storm knocked out the world's power grids Adrian Hunter is off on another adventure. He has heard that the US Navy may have docked some ships at Corpus Christi, so he saddles up and heads that way. Before he gets there he unintentionally rescures several girls, and has no idea how to get rid of them, so he does what comes naturally and trains them in hunting and combat proficiency - turning them into a tough and deadly fighting unit. But his troubles aren't over. He quickly finds himself leading a group of Texas volunteers against a much larger invading army from Mexico.

Teachable Moments

Another riveting installment in the Distant Eden series! Texas is pulling itself up by its boot straps and as things go along, a government begins to form. Mixed in with the wild and crazy adventures are many well thought reasonings for the setting up of said government. Bring on Book 5!

I love our hero Adrian Hunter. Nothing wishy washy about him. He takes out the bad guys. When you think you have the story line figured out it changes. I love not being able to predict what will happen. What an imagination this author has. Start with book one and read all of the series. It is most entertaining.

Need to review earlier books in the series to refresh my aging memory before moving on to book four; Eden's Warriors. Book four tends to head off in its own direction. The original premise of apocalypse after a humongous solar storm is left by the wayside to some degree in exchange for a story about Adrian taking charge of 16 orphaned girls. Adrian is headed to Corpus Cristi to validate rumors of the U.S. Navy establishing a base there. En route he rescues two young girls from being raped, then finds an orphanage or "home for young ladies" to leave them with. The caretakers not being what they appear to be are pimping the girls to travelers for food and supplies. Once Adrian disposes of them he acquires 14 more girls to his charge. He spends the next two months teaching the girls survival and self-defense techniques. It felt unusual to me for young girls to receive this training, but considering the time and circumstances it does make sense and Adrian after all is used to training men, so perhaps it seemed natural to him. So becomes "Eden's Warriors". Considering everything Adrian taught the girls it is quite amazing that this was accomplished in two short months. This is much, much better than the U.S. Army's current training program. Following that, Adrian and his newly dubbed "Adrian's Angels" make their way to Corpus Cristi. Get this! Mexico is suspected of planning to invade Texas. What a plot twist! So much is going on as the country pulls itself out of the apocalyptic quagmire. Texas being the genesis of the country's rebirth. Adrian, via successful military campaigns, grows in popularity and prominence becoming the political as well as military leader. Too many spoilers possible by continuing. The closing chapters seem rushed as so many new issues and options are raised in preparation for book five, Eden's War. I'll have to get it to learn the outcome.

In his fourth installment of the "Distant Eden" series, author Lloyd Tackitt takes on a larger scope of the problems facing the United States after a solar storm knocked out most electronics and much of organized civilization. His hero Adrian Hunter heads south in Texas to find out the truth behind rumors that the Navy has restarted refineries. His mission: to see if he can help and bring about some positive change for his community and even state. What he finds is a brothel run by some low-lifes who pimp out young girls. He rescues them and trains the girls to take care of themselves, eventually turning them into a special ops unit. He's somewhat conflicted by this, but the times require drastic measures. He makes contact with the Navy and finds out there's a much greater threat coming from south of the border by formerly well funded and organized cartels. Tackitt continues his great storytelling, just making the series better.

An Entertaining Read!

I borrowed Eden's Warrior's, the fourth book in Lloyd Tackitt's, A Distant Eden series, from Kindle Unlimited. I HAVE read the first three books. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale from the opening paragraph until the last.

Mr. Tackitt has developed a totally different storyline from his previous books, added and improved characterization. Adrian's character is growing and adapting as his circumstances dictate.
This story kept a nice pace and the common typos sprinkled throughout did not distract me from enjoying this adventure.

I do not feel it is necessary to add a synopsis. If you are reading this, you already have that easily available with the click of your mouse. I will say I recommend this novel.
I am anxious to find the time to read the next book, Eden's War.

**I was given a free copy of this book via audiobookblast in exchange for an honest review**

I really enjoyed the first half of this book, when Adrian finds the girls, and then tries to find them a home, realizing the home for girls was not what he though and ultimately liberating 16 young girls from a life of torture....I liked how he trained them and loved them and taught them to be independent...but they took it and ran with it...and that was actually kind of endearing..the last part of the book was kind of boring to me...very military based and at times it was a little much...I do like Adrian though...he rocks!!!

Good Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed Adrian's adventures and the Distant Eden Series. The main characters, though borderline super-heros on occasion (that's fine; it's a story) are well developed, with an absolute sense of individuality. I loved the girls, who certainly learned quickly and became proficient in no time, due, of course to unparallelled leadership! If you are a fan of post apocalyptic novels, where the good guys ultimately prevail (more or less), Lloyd Tackitt won't disappoint.

I love this series. I think I enjoyed this one more than any of the others. I would love to see this series made into a movie.

This is a very good series to read.

[Bob · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better read than many "Apocalyptic" books, but written to a high school audience.

I may be prejudiced because I am retired military and have been told I have
"Sir Lancelot" syndrome (LOL).

A good story

As a citizen of the republic with three native born citizen, I really enjoyed the book. There were some spelling errors but a really good story.

[Bradford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Surprisingly amazing

If you're a fan of intimate military stories shrouded in a post apocalyptic world, this book is right in your wheelhouse. Give it a shot.

Another good book in the series.

[ANGEL JADOOBIRSINGHQ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simply fantastic

I can't say much else. Elements of hilarity, beautifully written and designed as both a how to and an entertaining tale of post apocalyptic fiction
