Abrechnung

After #5

by Scott Nicholson, Stefan Mommertz (Translator)

In der postapokalyptischen Welt steht Rachel Wheeler auf der Schwelle zwischen dem, was sie ist, und dem, was aus ihr wird. Durch eine bizarre Mutation hängt ihr Menschsein an einem seidenen Faden, vor allem, wenn das Zapphirn in ihr den Drang verspürt, ihre Freunde und ihren Geliebten zu töten.

Als die mutierten Zapphirne nach den verheerenden Sonnenstürmen eine soziale Ordnung aufbauen und die neue Welt formen, verbünden sich die wenigen menschlichen Überlebenden im Kampf um das Überleben. Aber nicht alle von ihnen haben dasselbe Ziel: Eine abtrünnige militärische Einheit plant, die Siedlung der Zapphirne anzugreifen, während Rachels Gruppe versucht, ein ruhiges, friedvolles Leben zu führen, ohne von den Mutanten bemerkt zu werden. Und die Zapphirne haben Rachel eine besondere Rolle zugedacht, mit der sie die menschliche Rasse auf Kosten ihrer eigenen Identität retten könnte.

Hin- und hergerissen zwischen zwei möglichen Schicksalen steht Rachel vor der Frage, ob sie sich aufopfern soll, um das Aussterben ihrer Spezies zu verhindern.

Getting a bit silly

[Todd Oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't wait for the final book. This series keeps getting better and better. The zapheads keep evolving. The ending of this book was a shock. Hoping for better news in the next book. Excellent narration by Kevin Clay! I always enjoy his work. He's definitely one of my favorite narrators.

Gripping

Outstanding continuation of the After series. Nicholson continues to deliver page turning thrills in this unique post-apocalyptic setting. I must admit that I will be disappointed when this series concludes. It has been that good.

Red Scare: After bk5

This volume does not restore your faith in humanity. You can see how a new species would want to remove the old. At the same time, those few that have the intelligence to know there is a better way, but they don't seem to live long enough to make it happen.
