Forager Impersonator Trilogy #1
Impersonator
A century after a global nuclear war, eighteen-year-old Chelsea Thomas has spent her life living in fear of Newhome’s paramilitary Custodians, due to a prohibited rogue ability.
In the past week, her twin brother – a forager – has uncharacteristically run away from home and work after the mysterious death of a teammate. Something has also scared her normally unflappable father half to death, and, their family is threatened with eviction.
But her brother’s disappearance presents her with a long-sought after opportunity to escape Newhome, since only the foragers – all men – are allowed to leave the town. All she has to do is impersonate her brother long enough to make her escape while foraging out in the ruins.
But she never counted on the kindness of Ryan Hill, a forager new to the team. Nor on barbaric Skel attacking the team the moment she makes her escape. She has to choose between making good on her escape or saving Ryan and the others.
Twenty-two-year-old Ryan Hill made one mistake at his last place of employment, and that earned the wrath of his fellow workmates, and cost him all of his friends.
Alone and dejected, he begins a new job as a forager, expecting more of the same. But then he meets Chelsea, masquerading as her brother Brandon. And though he falls for her ruse, he sees in her a kindred spirit. Could he(she) spark in him the beginning of a true, genuine friendship that looks past the faults of the other?
* Impersonator is Book One in a new trilogy set in the world of Peter R Stone’s Forager Trilogy. Although it starts three years before the events in Forager, it is not a prequel. It will catch up to, carry on, and draw to a conclusion the Forager Trilogy storyline. It can be read independently of Forager.

Pretty good...
This novel definitely needs a bit of polishing. There are areas that should have been expanded upon and areas that should have been reduced. Not only that, but the relationship between Chelsea and her twin is significantly odd....he goes missing, and even his friends don't know where he is, yet she shrugs it off? I felt at times that the story was being presented as an allegory. It threw me off a bit. Much of the grammar and spelling is different as well so I wasn't positive if it was "the Queen's English" our just the author's typos. Other than that, I enjoyed it. Not sure how I feel about reading the second book, however.

I love these post nuclear war dystopian stories. The story grabs you from page 1 and never lets go. I look forward to reading the other two books in this series.
Forager Impersonator - the Complete Trilogy - for one low price.
Eighteen-year-old Chelsea Thomas has spent her life living in fear of Newhome’s paramilitary Custodians, due to a prohibited rogue ability.
In the past week, her twin brother – a forager – has uncharacteristically run away from home and work after the mysterious death of a teammate. Something has also scared her normally unflappable father half to death, and their family is threatened with eviction.
However, her brother’s disappearance presents her with a long-sought after opportunity to escape Newhome, since only the foragers – all men – are allowed to leave the town. All she has to do is impersonate her brother long enough to make her escape while foraging out in the ruins.
But she never counted on the kindness of Ryan Hill, a forager new to the team. Nor did she expect the barbaric Skel to attack the team the moment she decided to run away. She has to choose between making good on her escape or saving Ryan and the others.

Well thought out,well written, a superior independent work. There are the usual small word omissions, and some wrong word placements (sections when seconds was intended etc.) The romance is light and not altogether mind numbing. This was my first introduction to this author and I found the world building to be quite good. I expect that this world will be even better fleshed out in the parent trilogy but did not need to have read other books to enjoy this one. I have already purchased the entire current portfolio of work from this author based on my enjoyment of this first free book. I can give no higher praise short of a perfectly well polished manuscript, which is in incredibly rare from indie authors. Skilled editors have value, and though the occasional author will write very tight and disciplined work, the lack of additional eyes and perspective, usually leaves its blemishes. Given only five stars, to work with imperfect, but very good = 4stars.

Forager Impersonator
An interesting story of a young girl with an exact twin brother living in post-apocalypse Australia. Life there is grim and she longs to escape the rigidly enforced gender-defined life in her town. Her family members exhibit many negative behaviors that seem to lead the reader to feel much sympathy for this girl. But she and her twin have a secret. One they have known to keep hidden all their lives.

Great distopian read. Great lead character, in fact, all the characters are pretty well rounded. Plot moves along well, though it seems a bit rushed toward the end. Definitely going to read the whole series.

Starts 3 years after Forager - and I understand the storylines will merge/catch up to eachother at some point...but I probably won't reach that point. Interesting story, good world building, but I just can't get into the characters. Probably better for the intended YA audience...

Another ride!
Peter starts another trilogy with this book. Same town, mostly different characters and told from a woman view. Very interesting! Loved this book and story just as much as the last ones! Good stuff!

3.5 interesting enough to want to read more. Perhaps the story was just a little simplistic but I liked the world building.

March 26, 2021Not what I was expecting. Not great, not bad, just ok. But, doesn't end. Need to get the next book. Not sure if I'll read the next two.

Great book
The author does a good job adjusting to a female character. He gives the characters good back stories and makes the story interesting with new information which shows the character putting the pieces together. The author kept the book clean of profanity which is nice now a days.

A great story for older YA's and those non-YA's who are into dystopian stories and looking for an exciting read. Being book #1 of the Impersonator series (soon to be a trilogy) runs almost parallel to the Forager trilogy that had Ethan Jones and Nanako as main characters. My comments for this book #1 applies equally to book #2 as well. Both are well written and exciting.
Though the paths of the main characters in the Forager trilogy never cross with the main characters in this book, Chelsea and Ryan, they are pursuing the same goals as Ethan Jones and his wife Nanako. And that is freedom from oppression overthrowing the totalitarian government of Newhome.
The thick, tall, and barb wire covered walls surrounding Newhome were made not so much to keep raiders and the Skels out of Newhome, but was made so as to keep the 10,000 residents from leaving Newhome. The residents are needed by the elite to provide labour and to manufacture goods and supply services to keep the elite happy, well fed, and comfortable.
The residents live under the elites' harsh rules that have harsher consequences for breaking those rules. Death is a common penalty for most infractions of the rules, or hard labour under primitively conditions. The lives of the commoners in Newhome are of little value to the elites; just as long as the elites are kept in comfort.
Women are treated as second class chattel, are never educated and are kept at home, and their marriages at 18 or younger are decided by me whose husbands will literally keep their brides at home, barefoot and pregnant. The elites have taken the rights and freedoms of women and have tossed them aside thus rolling the issue of equality and women's right back hundreds of years.
This story is well written, the main characters have great depth and it certainly focuses on the dynamics of the human desire for freedom and all that goes with it.
Again, books one and two of this series proves that a book does not have to have expletives and extreme scenes of nudity or sex to make a well written and exciting story.
I recommend this soon to be trilogy to older YA's and others who enjoy a 'clean' dystopian story that is creative, dynamic, and realistic. I'm hoping book #3 of this series will be here before the projected 2017 release.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an impartial review. (This review may contain spoilers).
Impersonator is the first book in a new series set in the same Australian post-apocalyptic world as the author's previous "Forager" Trilogy. Set in a time period prior to "Forager," the book revolves around the Thomas family in Newhome, the town created by the "Founders." The father, Malcolm Thomas, the head of the family, is a broken man after an undeserved stint in a prison-factory. We are led to believe he has given up on his family responsibilities to save his own skin. Mother is a bitter woman and accusing, nagging wife. Brandon Thomas, the only son, has disappeared and is hiding out somewhere in the town for unknown reasons. Youngest daughter, Karen, is spoiled and not in any position to provide support for the disintegrating family. This leaves the burden of rescue and support on Chelsea, the Eldest Daughter. Chelsea impersonates her brother at his job to earn money to keep the family afloat. Hassled and beaten by mobsters for her father's gambling debts, evicted from their apartment for being unable to pay 8 weeks back rent, and coming to the realization that Brandon has been involved in something horrible at work, Chelsea struggles to protect her mother and sister and find a way to a safer place, out of Newhome.
The author has developed a restricted, strangled society in the setting of Newhome. The characters are interesting, diverse, well developed with back stories of some depth. the plot is exciting, suspenseful, and chock full of twists and turns that provide a lot of jumping off places for the rest of the trilogy.
I can, of course, recommend this new installment of the Forager series to anyone that read and enjoyed the first trilogy. However, I don't believe that you'd have to have read those 3 books in order to really enjoy this one. I look forward to book 2 which I understand comes out later this year as well.

The year is 2021 A.D. Chelsea and her twin brother Brandon Thomas live with their family in Newhome, a town that enforces archaic laws and severely punishes its residents for not conforming to them. The siblings dream of escaping their regimented hometown, but they know that it is impossible because the intimidating Custodians constantly monitors everyone.
When Brandon suddenly disappears, Chelsea disguises herself to become her brother's replacement at his job site. Women are forbidden to work or dress like males, but Chelsea needs the money to support her mother and younger sister. While working with Brandon’s unscrupulous co-workers, she begins to suspect the reason for his mysterious disappearance. Chelsea’s sleuthing is hampered when local bullies rob and beat her up, believing she is Brandon, whom they have targeted for a reason.
Impersonator is from the Forager Impersonator post-apocalyptic trilogy that I liked a lot, and was impressed with its catchy beginning. This is a thought-provoking story from Peter R. Stone who displays his creative side with a fluid writing style. I would rebel if I had to live such a restricted lifestyle like the residents of Newhome. Chelsea, who narrates the story, has a very courageous attitude and a compassionate side. A few other characters who were also noteworthy livened the intriguing plot as well. Peter R. Stone has written a wonderful book, and I look forward to reading more from his Forager Impersonator trilogy.

Impersonator takes place in post-apocalyptic Australia. The year is 2120AD and it has been over a century since the world destroyed itself through nuclear warfare. The Founders created Newhome, a town in a military state, governed by specific laws reminiscent of the 19th century. Women are treated as second-rate citizens; they’re not allowed to be given an education or a job, leave the house without a suitable chaperone, and are only allowed to wear modest floor length dresses. Anyone caught speaking against these laws is arrested and punished harshly.
The point-of-view character, Chelsea, is an outspoken 18 Year Old girl with a plan to escape the oppressive environment. Her plans are frequently affected by others and often lead her into dangerous and disparaging situations. She is often left wondering who she can trust, but throughout the story she remains true to her beliefs and loyal to her family.
Impersonator is a riviting story loaded with twists and turns.

I really enjoyed reading about the dystopian society that is inhabiting a futuristic Australia. Since this novel took place in Australia I would have liked more Australian dialect, I also would have liked to have been challenged more as the reader with the vocabulary that was chosen. I think the storyline was well thought out and I was interested as to how the story would unfold but the flow of the novel seemed a little off. I like how this novel fits into a series, I think this book has a good ending leaving just enough questions for the next novel without having unfinished conflicts from this story. Overall a good read with an interesting storyline but personally I would have preferred more of a picture painted with more details, such as peoples features and demeanor, I would have like more detail of how the city was setup and more inner conflict and emotion from the main character. Looking forward to the next book Specialist.

Interesting
In many ways this is an interesting book, it's a tale of life many years after a nuclear war. The town is ruled with an iron fist by the chancellors, who treat the citizens as their paid servants.
The sexes are strictly segregated, marriages are arranged, girls are not educated & not allowed to work.
Defective children are disposed of as only pure humans must be allowed to survive & citizens are encouraged to report mutants.
Chelsea & her twin brother Brandon are mutants they can hear everything & use echo location, they learn from a very early age to hid these talents.
One day Brandon goes missing & Chelsea decides to take his place so she can escape the oppressive regime & so begin her adventures.
Did I enjoy it? In parts yes, but the grinding poverty & women hating did get a bit much & I sympathise with Chelsea when she tries to point out the rampant equality to the men & they just don't get it! As I said an interesting read

I loved the Forager Trilogy by Peter R. Stone and when I saw this new companion book I was pretty excited. In the authors word, this is the timeline of "Impersonator": * Impersonator is Book One in a new trilogy set in the world of Peter R Stone’s Forager Trilogy. Although it starts three years before the events in Forager, it is not a prequel. It will catch up to, carry on, and draw to a conclusion the Forager Trilogy storyline. It can be read independently of Forager.
I loved it. A great dystopian read. There is no sexual content or swearing, there is some violence. The main characters are fleshed out and the writing style is very good. You get swept away in the whole story line. I give it five stars. Great YA read (I am 51 so good adult read too). I can recommend for teens and up.
9/24/17 Just re-read this one as I picked up the next two in the series. Still five stars!

I received "Impersonator" for free from the author in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this teen dystopian novel. Working in a high school, I try to find books that students would like to read and “Impersonator” will be added to the list. In this dystopian society, women’s work is at home and men earn the money. Chelsea breaks those rules by impersonating her brother to earn money for food after he goes missing. What happens after that will leave you guessing. The twists and turns of kismet leave Chelsea fighting for her life, her family, and a cute boy named Ryan. There is some violence in the book but no sexual content. “Impersonator” is a great book for teens and up.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a new series set in the same world as the Forager trilogy which I really enjoyed. This has new main characters but some of those in the other series are in this as well.
The author makes it clear it's not prequel as such and will in the end advance the story of the Forager characters as well.
The main character Chelsea is great and I really enjoyed her character development in this book.
The plot is also really good and the story has some great twists and turns.
If you like the Forager series then you will enjoy this but you could also use it as an introduction to this world.
Highly recommended.

Becoming Your Twin
I gave this book a rating of 5 because I loved it. It showed how strong family bonds are. That even though she wanted to escape from the life she was living when her family needed her to put thoughts of escaping on the back burner. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading apocalyptic and dystopian books.

Ack!
So now Mr. Stone has captured my attention with the start of another series set in his Forager universe... only problem is I have to wait for the other books to be written!

This is my second series I have read by Peter Stone. I really enjoy both storylines and how they overlap. If you are a fan of post apocalypse or dystopian fiction these books are a must read.

Interesting premise but after finishing feel no desire to follow Chelsea further as the series continues.
I found the story depressing in content and also execution.

Good story
I enjoy this story . Good set up and pay offs. I'm assuming you've read the first series. Looking forward to seeing how this all ties together.
