In the 20,000 word novella, The Long Way Home, five cities have already been decimated by nuclear terrorism. But it is then when Trevor Westmore must set out on a mission to bring Sue, his pregnant daughter-in-law, back to the relative safety of the family farm. He also hopes to find his daughter Lisa and bring her home. But, almost immediately upon finding Sue, in the suburbs of Seattle, terrorists detonate another nuclear bomb and the two must flee amid the chaos and fallout.

I don't read many post-apocalyptic books, and I haven't read this series before. I read this book because I won it in a giveaway, and it sounded interesting.
I really, really liked it.
There was enough backstory to give clueless me a clue to what was going on, but not too much that it bogged down the stories. Both were fast paced, both had characters I rooted for, and both really tore at my heartstrings. And I didn't even know the characters before this!
I would definitely recommend this to any fan of the genre, or anyone who likes gritty stories about people trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it gets. Sometimes they make it. Sometimes they don't.
I will definitely keep an eye out for more books from Kyle Pratt!
