Desolation #4

As Darkness Falls

Rate this book
The price of survival must be paid in blood.

For five months, the New River relief camp has kept tens of thousands of refugees from overrunning Flagstaff. Now it teeters on the brink of collapse.

In response, Mayor Gary Ruiz calls upon the newly formed Flagstaff Militia to defend the town and its dwindling resources. As an untested squad leader, Jenn must learn to inspire her troops while making impossibly hard decisions that bring into question how far she will go to survive.

All the while, in the ruins of Phoenix, a different kind of threat bides its time, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

As Darkness Falls is the fourth book in David Lucin's Desolation series.

Another fine episode in this series - and in my opinion a step up from the previous volume, as it has Sam playing a larger part, along with Jenn's progress in the Flagstaff Militia.

As an early winter looms Flagstaff combines forces with nearby Prescott and the remaining National Guard from the New River relief camp following the coup in Washington that led to a desertion by some Guard members.

Facing the double threat of an incursion by thousands of sick refugees and the resurgence of the Major Flagstaff braces itself and blocks access.

New readers - don't start here: go back and begin at the beginning!

Another very good possibility of th future. Will we get Nuclear Winter? I pray not. The resiliency of these characters and their varied backgrounds makes for a story I want t o continue.
