Mason Chronicles #1
Contact
"No one knew what had happened to the world Before.
Or why.
Or how.
Only that what had been Before was now gone and all that was left was After.
Of course, none of that was Mason's concern at this moment. His concern was that of making contact."
The world was ruined long ago. How that happened, or why it did, is unknown to those who remain. Life has moved on and the apocalypse that created world of After has forever altered the world. Mutations have occurred in all forms of life creating a new biosphere. Even the genealogy of man is now as clear as the altered and burned atmosphere itself. Some men remain unchanged and as normal as the ancients from Before, while some have developed strange and wondrous abilities. Society has been reduced to small entities trying to carve out an existence in whatever way they can.
Now someone has decided that the destruction of the world has gone far enough. Unfortunately, that someone has chosen its Paladin, and Mason is not the Paladin sort. He never asked for the tasks that have been bestowed upon him to complete. Still he finds himself gathering others to his side. Each new 'Contact' leads him further down the path of correcting the wrongs of the world of After. Sometimes in little ways, and sometimes in ways beyond his understanding.
“Part 1 - Contact” A complete Novella spanning several chapters that introduces the reader to the darkly rich, Post Apocalyptic world of After. A harsh world on the edge of either rebirth or deeper ruin. Here we meet the dark and powerful people who struggle to push it in one direction or the other.
This edition now includes a preview of Part 2!

Contact follows a mysterious character called Mason as he assembles gifted people for an unexplained purpose. Each character he collects, drawn to him through a unique bond referred to as ‘the Contact’, serves a greater purpose. For me, it had a strong sense of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, where Roland draws the Three and travels to the great city to board the train.

I don't really like the rating I gave for this book, but there were some parts that I didn't like of this book. I think the part that I didn't like was the nosiness. There probably was some grammar mistakes. I think I didn't like some parts mainly that it was a bit boring, hear and there. However, it's a pretty good series, good action and pretty strong characters. I will definitely keep reading.
