Messenger

America Falls #0.5 and 9

by Scott Medbury

His name was Death and Hell was following close behind...

Book zero of the America Falls series is an action-packed novella that tells the story of a mysterious traveler with a hook hand who travels the post-apocalyptic eastern states of America spreading a message of hope about 'The Cities' and the budding rebirth of the United States.

It isn't always smooth travelling at the end of the world though, and when he stumbles across a gang of cannibals out for the blood of the innocent, he must decide whether to interrupt his mission and risk death at the hands of psychopaths to help someone in need.

Ok story but not what I was expecting. Really not worth buying even though I loved Luke!

[Chelsea · Rating 4 out of 5]

if it would have been longer it would have been the best one yet. as a stranger set out looking to spread the word about the safe Hevan he finds some people who need his help. luke is a all around survivor a genuine good guy. traveling through the cruel new world he encounters a small group of cannibals that are looking at a father and son. luke knows what they are thinking and sets out to follow behind to keep watch.the father knows they are in danger and sets off home to his wife and kids in a hurry . as luke falls behind and the cannibals get all to close to the father and son. soon things take a turn for the worse. like the world isnt hard enough add some people eaters to the mix. this i believe is the last of the america fall series and even though it dosent mention much of isaccs group other than the town they've built it dose make for a good book.

I’m curious about how tf Luke got here? Like where is is kid? This can’t have happened during his little emotional outburst when he bailed, it’s been ~16 years since the attack and that was in year ~5. So I’m confused. Big time jump. Carry on reading I guess.

Good read

Didn’t want the series to end! The characters became family. I shared their joy , angst, tears and hard won victories.

Best short story ever

I liked this short story very much. I knew all I needed to know about the characters to become invested in what happened to them

Part of a series. Indon’t usually rate cliffhanger typed this high. But it reads good and is narrated extremely well (Adam Barr).

Luke rescues a family

Luke starts a new career after Manchester is saved. He rescues or recruits people who need a place to start over.

Luke’s trek part two basically. Going to take a break from the series. Might come back

Just a rambling man.

I was so confused when the audiobook was over. I did some investigating and found that this book is only 47 pages. Sadly, this is the best book of the series so far. 3.5 stars.

Probably the worst one I have read in the series, but I struggled through it.

[Maria do Socorro Baptista · Rating 4 out of 5]

Um texto muito tenso, um grande suspense, uma excelente narrativa. Uma distopia muito bem pensada, com personagens muito bem desenvolvidos. Muito bom.

I wish it was a bit longer and not as tragic.

[Kelton Whittington · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice little short story catching up with Luke, I felt like this was a smaller version of Luke’s Trek, pretty entertaining short story overall.

[Greg · Rating 4 out of 5]

it makes no sense to me why this is listed as .5 and 9 ... it is one story and certainly is not a prequel.

[A Person · Rating 1 out of 5]

Let's start with the fact that the dad was killed and just left there. You are telling me that you as a cannibal will kill this grown man that has more meat than you have ever seen before on a single person and you will leave his body just lay there. Why? He was the only character that I wanted to stay alive and he got killed. FOR WHAT? If you had eaten him it would have at least made some sense. And then when our main character kills the cannibals the woman that he saved immediately falls in love with him. HOW? WHY? Again with the romance for the sake of romance.

Meh

It was something to occupy my time during quarantine. The mystery around “The Messenger” seems silly. Just say who he is while you tell what he does. Not doing so doesn’t in any way add to the story but it definitely takes away some respect for the writer.

[Elaine and Tess the Springer. I won’t be on GR for a bit. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Messenger is a fabulous book it truly is unfortunately I read it first so now I could kick myself because I know his story. He seems to draw people to him and trust him. It a must read to get the story about him.

Another great new author

I use Kindle to find new authors and once found, hurry to read all their books. Honey, where's the piggy bank?
