They say greed lit the match, that gold was at the root of this evil. The miners up near Devils Desk, Alaska, dug too deep, blasted too hard, and they broke something that can never be repaired. Quakes shattered ancient barriers creating a rift between worlds that had been sealed by an ancient race, and the domino effect of those first tremors rocked both the earth’s foundation and humanity’s.
Global devastation has brought an apocalypse, and the dwindling human race is forced to battle a vicious race of legendary monsters who are hellbent on their annihilation. Survival is no longer a right but a bloody fight.
Michael Talbot, his family and tribe (many of whom he has known in parallel existences), find sanctuary at the mansion of international billionaire, John “the Tripper” Stephenson. But as calls to arms become more difficult then impossible to ignore, they embark on a mission to lend aid to the last human holdout.
Once again, the Talbots are forced into the center of chaos, and this time, their journey begins on the other side of the world. Join Michael, BT, Trip and several familiar friends and villains as this latest terrifying adventure series continues!
Tufo Didn’t waste any time getting into this story. Action right out of the gate from start to finish. Sets things up nice for #4. Looking forward to it. Was nice to see a lot of the gang together again and loved their banter and bond. Thanks for another great story Mark.
Devils Desk 3 delivers everything fans of post-apocalyptic fiction crave: gritty survival, high-stakes action, and a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Tufo keeps the tension high from page one, with characters who fight, scheme, and endure in a landscape that feels terrifyingly real. Fast-paced, gripping, and impossible to put down. A must-read for post-apocalyptic enthusiasts.
I loved this story. There is a ton of action, fantastic characters and banter, and ALL the humor!! If you know Mark's books, the gang is all here for this one, and I could not be more thrilled!!!
I really love this series. Tufo has created some wonderful characters and put them into an absolutely horrendous situation—out in the middle of nowhere as civilization is brought down by extreme volcanic activity and millions of sasquatches trying to eat everyone. As in any good horror movie, much of the action is prompted by people being stupid. Our heroes are not stupid, but a significant percentage of the people around them are, and they have to deal with the consequences.
There is also the problem of humans who just aren't with the program (i.e. out for themselves when the whole race is in danger of extinction). I thought Tufo also did a great job with making these people unlikeable and a serious problem while not being nearly as dangerous as the monsters.
The book ends with our heroes approaching a new arc in the story which I am anxious to see what Tufo will do with.
I always love diving into Talbots's world. I miss them when I finish reading. Didn't consider Yeti to be this mean but we humans are much worse. Just writing!
I had forgotten that I preordered Devils Desk 3 and I was overjoyed when it appeared on my kindle. This was a fun, exciting read and I hope the series continues!
