Cole's Saga Two Book Set - Post Apocalyptic Survival Series - Cole's Saga and Fema War's A Post-Apocalyptic Novel by AJ Newman. Cole’s Saga is a stand-alone spin-off series, based on my American Apocalypse series. The United States had been devastated by an EMP blast; everything fell apart. Cars no longer clogged the streets; cell phones were useless, and aircraft no longer flew. People had died in the billions, victims of the bombs, lack of food, and essential medicines. Cole Biggs survived the initial blast, and somehow, with skills he learned from his mentor, Joe Harp, he continued to live on in a remote Oregon community. Cole’s life would soon be changed forever when modern slavers take him to the coal mines of Kentucky to work for a rogue FEMA group. But Cole is made of stern stuff, and he has vowed to get his new friends and himself back to Ashland, Oregon, and his family. It’s a long way from Kentucky to the mountains of Oregon. Will Cole have the skills that they will need to see them safely complete the perilous journey?
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
A.J. Newman is the author of over 22 novels that have been published on Amazon. He was born and raised in a small town in the western part of Kentucky. His Dad taught him how to handle guns very early in life, and he and his best friend Mike spent summers shooting .22 rifles and fishing. He read every book he could get his hands on and fell in love with science fiction. He graduated from USI with a degree in Chemistry and made a career working in manufacturing and logistics, but always fancied himself as an author. He served six years in the Army National Guard in an armored unit and spent six years performing every function on M48 and M60 army tanks. This gave him a great respect for our veterans who lay their lives on the line to protect our country and freedoms. He currently resides in Kentucky with his wife Patsy and their three tiny mop dogs, Sammy Cotton and Callie.
If you can overlook the awkward dialect switches and constant speaking character identifiers, this is a great ending to the series that begins with Joe and Cobie. Minor typos also distract but otherwise the characters develop well and act believably. Unfortunately, I think this scenario of our own failed government and agencies being corrupted is all too possible. Arm yourselves and be ready.
Very food read. You are recommended to read American Apocalypse first
A few grammatical errors occasionally, only purists will take note. A little hurried sometimes, but an incredibly good fast paced story that you will love
