Thrilling, action packed adventure in a devastated America
Following their hurried escape from the Drake Mountain Facility, Isaac, and his group stumbled upon a farmhouse in a secluded valley. It's what they've been looking for. A place to make their home, both now and in the future.Their joy is tempered by questions though. How will they feed and look after themselves, especially with a baby on the way? Was the virus unleashed against the invaders successful or, will they be watching out for their oppressors for the rest of their lives? And...even if they are gone, what other dangers in the post apocalyptic world await them.
Danger is coming and only time will tell if they have found the salvation they've been seeking or if their dreams will be crushed, leaving them to the same fate as all of those that died before them.
Don't miss Attrition, the action-packed third book of the After Days series.
Great book but I feel it was rushed I am only a 14 year old freshmen in high school, but I do read a lot and I feel that the other two book went through the years day by day while this one kind of just skipped. I would think that I'm not the only one that thinks that we could have gone through the months of indigos pregnancy before and after the birth, I also believe that the people in the trees should have come in to help at some point in the story and I felt the book was to short. The first two books felt longer while I finished this book in one sitting, I feel there could have been more details within the five years they spent at the valley and raising peace. I hope that Scott continues this series it is amazing and I think that many of us would like a longer book like 600-800 pages and I would like too know what happened to Luke while he was gone for the six months so if he does make another book please it at least longer
The author is a wonderful storyteller and I never knew what was coming next. A fun exciting read. However, I strongly urge the author seek out and become friends with more badass woman, even just one! Please! His women characters courageous acts consisted of showing their midriffs to distract some guards and baking lots of homemade bread. Don't get me wrong - baking bread from scratch is certainly badass but these young women deserved a much more varied means of kicking ass. Especially when they were rebuilding their world and toss aside the oppression of gender roles and demand more equality. They were smart enough and brave enough and endured as much as the male characters. But unfortunately the author kept them barefoot, pregnant and baking bread. sigh...
I found this book a let down especially after the first book which I felt was the best of the lot. The presence of the Chinese invaders and virus unleashed by the Professor were background items and instead these went to Lord of the Flies/Mad Max. I did like the main character but he deserved a better end story.
It was average. The story ended okay but wasn't something I will remember. The trilogy was written well just didn't have that excitement to keep me going.
