Dark Cloud - a review by Rosemary Kenny
In this, the 5th in the Darkness Rising series, Princes of Post-Apocalyptic Thrillers Justin Bell and Mike Kraus have come up with yet another wining adventure.
Desperate survivor family Phil and Rhonda, their kids Winnie and Max, Max's pal Brad, with rescued street-kids Angel and Tamar and ex-FBI Agent Rebecca Fields and badly wounded comrade Clancy Greer flee through the Chicago suburbs in their cargo van. Just as they believe the worst is over, they're targeted by a black SUV and already we have the first of many exciting gunfights to speed up the already break-neck pace of this excellent thriller that's like riding a bucking bronco, as the dramatic scenes engage the reader's emotions from the very first.
Where are the group headed? What happens to Clancy Greer on their flight? How do they hope to get help for him? Which medical facility do they learn of?
Who are the family looking for and where do they hope to find them? What happens between Winnie and Tamar?
What happens when the youngsters go to look for food? Who is Paul and what does he demand from the family?
Who gets injured as a result - and who is killed? Where does the army unit take the family group. Do they find the people they're looking for?
Once you start this series you're sure to get hooked into the action and totally involved in the family's fate as they are all engaging, well-developed characters who grow on you more and more with each episode. Don't delay - get your copy today and tell all your friends!

The Fraser's and their friends survived the big fight at the end of the previous book and finally get to leave Chicago but things do not go smoothly as hoped as they head south. This book was full of action and showed how crazy things are getting since everything fell apart. However, the story was still addicting as I had to keep reading to see what they would run into and if this time they would find more answers to what is really going on and hopefully find their daughter. Just a very wild car ride that keeps me reading to see what twist and action will show up next

3.5 stars. Dark Cloud is the fifth book in the Darkness Rising series. This should not be read as a standalone as each book builds on the stories in the previous books. There is violence. Rhonda, Phil, and the group are getting closer to finding their missing daughter. But as they continue to move across the middle of the country, they continue to find chaos and violent groups. This is an interesting story about what people will do to survive in a country gone crazy.

Help needed
It difficult to accept the basic premise of this series that North Korea would have so much help from within our country. I’m also getting tired of feeling hopeless. Half the country uninhabitable?

I read this as a box set and it was a very rewarding read. Taken as a series it was great. There was a lot of time to get to know the characters and how they fit in the overall series. I would highly recommend it to all readers.

Could not put it down. So much action every time I turned the page. Will Rhonda and Phil make it to Philly? Will they find Lydia there? Will Karl Green grey in the way again?

I was really tired at the end of this book, as short as it was, there was so much action. These poor people just don't get a break. Sad to say goodbye to one. I look forward to the next book.

Part of a serial that MUST be read in order. Your wasting your time if you don't. The Fraiser' continue on but as expected, many more conflicts. This has been and excellent serial.

Great series, love the characters, but it is hard picturing children using guns as well as these kids do. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
