Hope and Law: A Tag Stevens Novel

Tag Stevens #3

by J.R. Madsen

Wearing a sheriff’s badge on his chest and having everlasting hope that his post-apocalyptic world will settle into a normal routine, Tag Stevens witnesses the tragic loss of his daughter and then envisions living in the isolated, highland mountains of northeastern Utah. He sets out, with RJ, Triss, and Ty at his side, riding through ashen wastelands of forgotten cities, avoiding rogue survivalists, and starting a life or death race to reach the land of his dreams and build a cabin before the upcoming winter. But there are a few things Tag doesn’t know… his parents are riding toward the same destination, missing details of his daughters demise, and someone from the past is desperately tracking him down, inching ever closer to a final confrontation. After all he’s been through, from apocalyptic bombings, to a devastating plane crash, and over a thousand miles of treacherous riding between California and Utah, will he find loved ones in the end, and more importantly, will there be a place in the new world for Hope and Law?

About the author

JR Madsen’s debut novel, After the Flash, is a modern day, post-apocalyptic western inspired by over thirty years of camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, snow skiing, and horseback riding, anywhere between Montana and California. He uses that experience, with a mix of humor and romance, to write this character driven plot line. He is an avid outdoorsman, a framing contractor, and loves spending his free time on projects in his wood shop or coaching a local youth hockey team. Born and raised in Utah, he has lived in Idaho and Nevada, but presently resides in southern California with his wife of twenty years, two kids, and four quirky dogs. He is currently working on the next two books in the Tag Stevens series.

Reviews

[Kevin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Each book got a bit worse. Poor editing, just too much death in the end.
