Noah Brennan has an agenda.Steal the Oracle, find Astra, and save what’s left of the world. Only two things stand in his the Elders and the Universe’s twisted sense of humor.When an ordinary supply run is ambushed by a group of vicious cannibals, Noah finds himself facing death by cannibalism or capture by a tribe of savages. For the first time in months, Noah is alone, away from his mission, away from the one person he needs by his side.Now, Noah must find a way to get back to Apollo, back to Molly, and complete his plan before it’s too late to save anyone.*****MoonFire is a different kind of apocalypse story. You won’t find the typical prepper here, or the clean-cut logical dystopia. This is a story of man trying to survive on his wits alone, of civilization attempting to make its last breath count. And no, this novel doesn’t have zombies—it has something far, far more terrifying.MoonFire is the second book in a series of four.________________________________________________ Books in the MoonFall Book 1: MoonFall - amazon.com/dp/B00R6UT2G0Book 2: MoonFire - amazon.com/dp/B00R8JM8XSBook 3: MoonDust - amazon.com/dp/B00SV4QUCYBook 4: MoonRise - amazon.com/dp/B00U1QFS32
This is the second book in this series by A.G. Wyatt. This a post-apocalyptic story that is primarily from the point of view of the character Noah. I really enjoyed the first book of the series called "MoonFall." The first book starts off with the world, as is know, ending with meteorites hitting the moon and Earth, causing widespread destruction. Noah has found a home, after much convincing, in Apollo. Part of the deal includes being a productive member of its society and become a follower of the town's many gods.
In MoonFire, Noah has developed a relationship with Molly, a lieutenant in the town's guard. He helps Molly scrounge for supplies for the town and helps with odd projects. As the situation in Apollo becomes more complex, Noah, along with others, tries to find their way through the political and religious mess that comes part and parcel with belonging a group of people trying to remake civilization.
"MoonFire" leaves us with the question will there be more books in the series? I enjoyed the different characters and the storyline. The book was well written and edited. I recommend it.
So, I'm going to start by comparing this series to a Western.
Which might sound strange, but bear with me.
If the first novel in the quartet ( MoonFall) had, essentially, the central protaganist falling in with one section of society, then this has him falling in with the other. In other words: the first was like Noah Brennan living with the Cowboys; this is like him spending time with the Indians.
See where I'm going?
It also builds the post-apocalyptic world up a bit further, with a (tiny) little bit more background into how the destruction of the moon led to the fall of society, and further revelations about Noah's past (more specifically: his father) teased.
Book 2 of A.G. Wyatt's MOONFALL series has it all. Action, friends becoming enemies, enemies becoming friends. Happiness and heart breaks. Noah taking us on a journey of a lifetime and I can't wait to see where we end up next.
