About the author
William Allen
12 books46 followersWilliam Allen was born and raised in the Piney Woods of Southeast Texas, a place of great natural beauty and a scarcity of decent paying jobs. Growing up on a farm, he dreamed of one day finding one of those jobs involving working indoors and enjoying air conditioned comfort. Most of the farm work was outdoors, rain or shine, and air conditioning was something he read about in books. They even talked about something he'd only dreamed of before, something to do with health insurance. No, that was probably just science fiction.
Books were a refuge for young William, and as he grew older, he decided to try his hand at creating his own fantasy worlds. To his way of thinking, writing seemed to involve way more "brain sweat" that the other kind. So far, so good. And at least the air conditioning still works.
"Walking in the Rain" started as a short story and over time developed into a series of novels exploring the changed world a young man who finds himself stranded far from home when the lights go out. Everywhere.
Luke is a capable survivor who quickly hardens his heart in order to live a day-to-day existence while making a seemingly hopeless trek home to his family. Along the way, Luke meets someone special who helps him rediscover his lost humanity. Make no mistake, though. Luke learned to be a cold-blooded killer to survive, and having something to lose merely makes him all the more vicious when he is forced to act.
To date, the first three books, "Walking in the Rain: Surviving the Fall", "Home Fires Burning", and "Hard Rain Falling" have been published exclusively here on Amazon. Book Four in the series, "Dark Sky Thunder" will be released in September, 2015. These first three titles are all now available in audiobook form from Audible.com. The incomparable Pat Young provides the dramatic readings for these books and adds an extra dimension to these powerful stories.
Also, the short story "Hunger Driven" will shortly be joined by a full length zombie novel currently in production, entitled "A Feast for Crows". The sixty plus page tale represents the author's own take on the Zombie Apocalypse in Southeast Texas and is a jumping off point for the forthcoming full length novel. The scenery is still pretty except for all those nasty walking corpses littering the landscape.
The author is proud to have contributed a short story, "'Ware, Goblins" for the recently released zombie anthology "Bite Sized Offerings." This collection of stories represents a lineup of the best talent in the horror business, and I can only assume they included me by accident. Oh, well, it was my gain, after all.
Look for these and more books from William Allen coming soon. For any questions or comments, you can reach him on Facebook at William Allen-author. Or, e-mail him at walkingintherain6@gmail.com. He might not be able to give you the winning lottery numbers, but otherwise, feel free to ask questions.

Ugh! Finally the politics exposed
Was enjoying the series until this one let it be known that it really all about bucking up the right wing political groups-guess I should have been suspicious with the whole preppier thing but the first 3 books in the series seemed more politically balanced. Not what I need to be reading during the Trump Terror reign!

This was just an outstanding book and series all around. I love that Luke is one of the rarest of characters in fiction novels... a realistic, no bullshit badass who understands there's no point in getting all hung up on and emotional over things that needed done and would have been fatal to have not done. There's no point in torturing yourself because you decided to stay alive when some murdering psychopaths were trying to kill you. Also, it helps that he was legitimately talented at combat, and those around him showed him due respect. Even if it took his mom a while to pull the wool from her eyes.

Enjoyed the action in this four-part series, but the 16-year-old hero is just pushing credulity too far.
Easy read.
Easy read.

My Review from book one (below) still mostly applies here, this is where the feds really come into the dark if you will.
I typically rate books using some fairly broad guidelines. Usually, 1 star reviews are reserved for books that are: 1) poorly written (prose); 2) with bad dialogue; 3) poorly thought out and executed plots; 4) and obviously books that I simply do not like.
Yet, those guidelines are not why I am rating this book one star. Don't get me wrong those statements do apply; but, my real beef with this book is its underlying ideology.
As an aside, I love fiction of all type, I love action and have no qualms with violent stories. I am even tolerant of the grim-dark genre.
This type of book is dangerous because it stokes irrational fears that only serve to fragment this country. The overtones of this series a) mythologize preppers as superheros while demonizing the federal government, b) highlight social class fears and misconceptions, c) glorifies militias and states rights(historically violent and incompetent, d) and are racially charged.
I dont even know where to start with all that is wrong with this "novel". I use scare quotes for novel because this is more of a short story that acts as a hook for the larger story. Books 1-3 or 4 should all really by one novel, but trilogies are more profitable I guess.
I am a fan of action movies and stories, so a friend recommended this series to me. The author does a good job creating set pieces, describing action, and spinning a good yarn for the combat sequences if a bit heavy handed in his gun descriptions and inventorying.
The action is done well for the most part, it is everything else that that makes this story terrible and ultimately providing a disturbing look into the psyche of this subculture.
SPOILER TIME...
Lets break down some of why this series is awful
The protagonist is a Gary Stu/MarySue this doesn't necessarily ruin a series, there are plenty of great stories with protagonist who are "perfect". Instead the real issue is what the author perceives as perfect ideal that he has molded this character into. He is essentially apocalypse, end of the world Batman/wizard. His father is an ex-marine, his uncle is a former UFC champ, and he is a human aimbot. He is a dispassionate murdering sociopath.
It's not just that he starts the book perfectly executing 3 would be rapist instantly, sneakily infiltrating a camp and killing 3 men with just a knife and shooting more, or even when he (repeatedly) kills trained military personnel that outnumber him 15+ to one, single handedly.
Aside from the fact that he is just BORING. The problem is that perfect in this world is an emotionless killer, who is essentially infallible and whose background reads like every box on some preppers checklist has been checked So, the hero is a perfect killing machine, who at 16 repeatedly murders trained soldiers who out number, and out gun him in increasingly improbable fashion.
The real hate comes from the alternate reality this setting creates.
The author very clearly HATES Obama, liberals, federal government, northerners, city folk, and likely every non white anglo-saxon protestant.
This is a series where the Civil War is renamed the War of Northern Aggression despite the fact that the confederates attacked first and started the war.
The Author has no faith in his fellow American's and creates a world where the evil northern, city folk have turned to cannibalism within two weeks of the inciting incident. The entire city of Chicago kills itself in 6 days. Everyone in this story has become murdering, raping, and pillaging "raiders", well unless you're just a simple southern farmer, member of the national guard, or one of the ubermensch preppers. These groups, with their strong christian American values, are immune to whatever made everyone else in the country instantly evil and thus cannon fodder.
The Oath Keepers are idealized and spoken of with warmth and admiration like they are some sort of group of elite domestic bad asses. Despite the fact that you can join one of their Anti-government AA meetings for 40 bucks a year and your dignity. Sure, they take the constitution as seriously as you would expect. They are also conspiracy theorist who think "crisis actors" are being paid to fake mass shootings to fuel anti-gun laws, that the federal government is constantly dunning false flag operations, and believe ALL the conspiracy theories (as long as the paint the federal government in an evil light).
This is a world where the president is incompetent, and the federal government (homeland security, fema, and the like) isn't just power hungry, wasteful, and ineffective. Here, the Federal Government is straight up EVIL
In this author's mind, the Federal Government knew of this impending crisis and immediately looks to use it to become a totalitarian regime. They withhold information to ensure more people die, they arm prisoners, they want to nuke their own country, they want to use biological warfare weapons on citizens, and oh so much more. They dont just want to redistribute your food, dadgum they want to take every kernel and kill you and your whole family. Anyone who is self-sufficient must die. Think about how stupid that would be even if your goal was to set up a dictatorship. The Feds in this story are evil for evil's sake http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php... , but sadly the author doesn't even notice the absurdity of it all.

Best of the Series so far...
This book really pulled it all together for me..... the importance of the family not only to Luke but to each of the Ms. and Mr. America in the books that we met....their willingness to give all including their own lives to secured safety, sustenance, and shelter in this devastated America for their family and others willing to work together in rebuilding.The evil inherent in some "career politicians" more busily at work destroying this great country and the citizens rebuilding it in order to have their own "fiefdom" or piece of the "pie", if you prefer. The bravery and love of country and family combined with the might of the military who remained faithful to their sworn oaths and fought side by side with civilian citizens to save both their families and America and all she stood for... This book brought it all to the forefront and gave me cold chills.
Now, a break to read Firestorm, another piece of this story from another perspective and then back to Luke and Amy , Book 6. Yay!

Very good
One of the three great lies is, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you". Government earned that. You know, maybe we need a slightly different form of government, one that won't let "public servants" get rich in the job. And bureaucrats pass binding laws from their offices.

Awesome
As I finished book 4 of this series, I have to take my hat off to this fantastic author. It is very difficult to keep a vast volume of a story interesting from the start throughout 3 additional books, William Allen has done a fantastic job of this.

Fast paced apocalyptic series
I’ve enjoyed the series and I hope this is not the last we see of Luke and his friends. I’ve really enjoyed their stories. This is a violent book and it’s only because I’ve enjoyed the characters so much that I’ve kept reading it.

Excellent thriller
Worthy of a 5 rating. Anyone who enjoys reading a post apocalyptic book will love this story of people banding together in the face of unbelievable hardships. A must read!!

I love the growth of Luke as he continues to live in the world gone wrong. Amy is a perfect match for Luke.

Fun story the main character is definitely a psychopath
April 23, 2016
The Walking in the Rain series, books 1 – 4, were quick reads and I apologize to the author, William Allen, for not reviewing them individually.
Luke is in Chicago on a fieldtrip from Texas to attend a science fair in hopes of earning a scholarship. He is stranded there when the pulse hits. Luke wants to get home, to what he perceives as a safe haven. Northeast Texas is a long walk from Chicago, especially for a sixteen year old boy on his own in a world turned upside down. There is no electricity, no food unless you scavenge for it, and most of all, no law.
The first four books in this series follow Luke as he grows into a man during his horrific journey. These books are riddles with typographical errors which were distracting. Even with the events of the time and the struggles for life and death it was hard to believe that Luke was only sixteen. The story is told firsthand from his point of view and his language skills are on par with a college graduate, not a sophomore in high school.
The story itself is a good one and the characters are well developed. The pace is fast and not for the faint of heart.
3-1/2 stars out of 5.

Another wonderfully agonizing book in the 'Walking In The Rain' series!
Luke, Amy and the gang have finally made it to Luke's home and his family. But as the saying goes, "you can never go home again." So much has change in the small town that he fought to get to and losses at the ranch have made the welcoming committee smaller.
Now that he's home, he's ready to contribute with operations on the ranch to ensure the continued survival of everyone that he cares about. Unfortunately, the threats of the outside world are never too far away....
An extremely well written book that kept me captivated and reading through an entire evening! I just couldn't put it down! I was very excited to learn that the next book is already out for me to snatch up. Very well done!

An interesting series of dystopia literature. A combination of John Ringo's style for military based fiction and the old book "Alas, Babylon". Being an East Texas native, many of the places in the latter books were familiar, as was the attitudes shown. The novel places ordinary (mostly) people in extraordinary situations. I recommend this for anyone who enjoys a well written story of survival in a world gone awry.
A good series, and a writer who spins a good tale. As I said in the heading, it is a good story of the world gone awry, where the monsters are not zombies or vampires, but people who fall to animalistic levels without an external control, and those who want control at any cost.

Reading these books, you'll not get any house work done.
I've read all of the "Walking in the Rain" series so far. What keeps me adding to my library, is the thread of 'family' and its importance to the main character and those around him. The story builds from book 1 to book 4 and continues to keep my interest as I let the dishes and laundry pile up. Luke's family is one I hope to meet if there's ever a SHTF scenario in my lifetime. Good story.

Walking in the Rain 4 is a worthy continuation of Series
Wm Allen's WitR series ends (for now) with some rousing action in a 'good guys vs. bad guys' SHTF climax. Without giving away any spoilers, the main storyline is generally settled (for now) but Allen leaves the reader 'wanting more' and more stories surrounding the Post-EMP ventures of Luke, et al. are promised in the Afterward.

I was a bit disappointed with this one. The constant elevation of Luke to near super hero status is getting a bit tiresome as is the constant retelling of his exploits. Poor Amy has faded to just being a love interest. The government agenda, clearly evil, is also a bit murky especially as to why so many would follow it. Lots of talking and retrospective and a lot of distracting detail on the firearms.

Dark Sky Thunder review
Dark Sky Thunder is the fourth post apocalyptic book in the Walking in the Rain series written by author William Allen. I'm glad that there will be more stories coming.

I enjoyed this book. It was easy, fast reading with an interesting story. I didn't want to put it down. I'm looking forward to more from this writer and a continuation of this story.

Still loving it
Luke and Amy made their way back to the ranch. Mom's not happy about the budding romance between the two, but though they are taking it slow they are determined. The bad guys motivations make themselves a little more known.
Off to the next in the sequel.

Good continuation of Lucas' story. We're starting to breakdown who the government goons and government good guys are. Battle lines are being drawn along who wants to rebuild and who wants to enslave the people of America.

I read the entire series from start to finish. I was mesmerized and couldn't put them down until I'd finished them all!

You need to read this book.
This series is one of the best that I have read so far, you can't put it down. I read it in two dates. Thank you for this exciting series.

This is a fantastic series. Luke is only 16, but wise and well brought up. His journey after the lights go out for good is portrayed in this series. The characters are believable and the plot is a bit scary with the troubles in our country today. He sees the true madness and depraved acts people are willing to commit when the law is gone. He also sees true giving and compassion in other humans. He fights to make it home to his own family, but picks up people who become family along the way. In book 4, his family struggles to help bring together a small community and survive. They must fight and lose loved ones during this journey. This is a great series and I highly recommend reading it from book 1. I am now on to read Mr. Allen's brothers book which is book 5 in the series!

In book 4, his family struggles to help bring together a small community and survive. They must fight and lose loved ones during this journey. This is a great series and I highly recommend reading it from book 1. I am now on to read Mr. Allen's brothers book which is book 5 in the series!
