Forever by Timothy Sparks is not your standard apocalyptic science fiction novel. It throws in a few elements of horror, giving readers a nail-biting story. It’s a book that will have you eagerly turning the pages until the end.
The world we know no longer exists. Climate change, along with civil, nuclear, and supply wars, has turned the earth into a vast wasteland. Devoid of rain, survivors try to eke out an existence with the few remaining precious resources.
It’s not only the lack of water threatening humanity night-crows present another danger. The intelligent birds hunt together tracking unsuspecting travelers when the sun goes down. Anyone out after dark is in constant danger from a murder of crows.
“Thirty or more night-crows broke the silence with a hundred decibels of cawing above, and the nocturnal birds dove onto them. The murder of night-crows broke into two. One group came down on the center from above, while the other band attacked the rear from just above ground level. Danny held his baton over his shoulder like a golf club.”
The novel is set in Forever, Oregon, where the survivors only move around at night scavenging for supplies. Brother Shuttlesworth’s appearance in the town gives the residents a slight glimmer of hope for their future. The robed stranger stole NOAH, a miraculous machine, and he brought it to Forever. NOAH is the acronym for Nuclear Ozone Amplifying Hydro generator. It produces expanding water bubbles. Unfortunately, Brother Shuttlesworth did not steal the manual. He can only use a small fraction of the generator’s capabilities.
Who is Brother Shuttlesworth? It is only one of the mysteries residents in Forever need to answer. With help from newly found allies, they will try to create a new world.
Forever by Timothy Sparks is a dark novel. It has all of the elements of a sci-fi/horror novel, but it also has hope. It is an entertaining story with plenty of plot twists and surprises. It’s not a novel where you can guess the ending. It’s one of the aspects that makes Forever hard to put down.
Sparks has created a vision for the world we can imagine. The threat of nuclear war is a danger. His characters, from Alex to Brother Shuttlesworth, are well-rounded with depth. It’s easy to identify with Forever’s guards excited to finally have a beer. It’s a novel that makes you care about the people of Forever.
Forever is not a true science fiction novel, and it’s the same for the horror genre. It is an interesting blend of the two genres, and it makes for a compelling story. Anyone ready to try something new should pick up a copy of Forever.

Chilling and Thought-Provoking Story
A chilling dystopian sci-fi thriller set in the desolate town of Forever, Oregon in 2059. Climate change and war have led to food scarcity, water depletion, natural disasters, sickness, and a fierce battle for survival. The discovery of the NOAH machine which creates water in a limited capacity brings the survivors hope, but do they have what it takes to survive the long journey to battle the powerful forces to save their planet? Who can you trust? Will justice ever be served? This is a thought-provoking and chilling story that I recommend to all sci-fi, adventure, and dystopian fans. It sparks good conversation about climate change and other future matters.

Forever felt like it was lasting forever at first. Stick with it! It is worth it. When you think you have it, figured out you don't. It is humorous when you don't expect it, has your fair share of psychos and is a bit backward at times. Great READATHON book
