David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

The Amber Project won for March's Non-Mainstream Book of the Month!

Spoilers are welcome but please hide them with spoiler tabs for those who have not read this book.

Enjoy!!! :)

Seriously, if you haven't read this one, you need to do so... Just saying!

Hopefully I'll have time this month to get to it!

I've been wanting to read this! Wow....seriously, March is gonna be a busy month for reading!!!

I've had this one forever so I'm happy the group picked it so I can finally get this one read! I've heard nothing but good things!!

This is a really good book, overall. It feels a little disconnected in the beginning, but I love the time jumps and how you get a few points of view to let you see more of the world. And it BUILDS with every page and chapter toward an ending that's pretty awesome. Hope you all enjoy it!

PS- this author is GOING PLACES. His books are selling really well and he is plugged into the author community. And guess what? JN Chaney and I are planning to co-write a SciFi series later this year!

Really? Awesome! Can't wait to read that one!

Thanks Victoria! It might be a while before it's released, but should be a fun new experience co-writing with someone :)

At least I have your Fatemarked books to read while I wait... Oh, and the third book from the Varient Saga, since I haven't grabbed a copy of it yet...

So happy you are writing a new sci-fi book with JN Chaney!!

I'm enjoying it so far.

Anyone else start The Amber Project? I'm very interested in what everyone thinks about this one :)

I just discovered that I actually do own this one...Huh, don't remember downloading it.

Ha! READ IT :)

I find this happens so often. I think, Oh, that is a book I would love to read and go to download it and I already have it! Well, I'm ready for the apocalypse. As long as I can keep my kindle charged.

Ha Donna! Guess I'm ready too!! ;)

I started this really late (or early a.m. as it's now 1:30 in the freaking morning). I just wanted to glance at the first few pages. I'm 13% in and do not want to put this down. But.... dang work!

Really great start. Love the premise!

Me three. ;)

Love and hate when a book does that to me Karen.

Awesome! Glad you're all reading it :) :) :)

LOVE this whole series!

Wicked! The 4th book comes out very soon :)

I'm a little over half done with this. :) Definitely enjoying it!

YAY!

Glad to hear it! :)

I'm about 75% done. I like how he does transcripts at the beginning of chapters.

And Terry, (view spoiler)[I'm assuming he's evolving because of the gas.

Also, how did the human race create the gas? Is that explained more fully later on? I didn't quite understand that part. (hide spoiler)]

Karen:

If I'm remembering correctly, it's sort of hinted at towards the end of book one, but you get more of an explanation in book two.

Yes, I think that's correct.

Aha! Gotcha! Thanks Victoria and David.

Finished! Really great premise! Liked the surprise at the end!

YAY! I thought the ending was AWESOME. Great build up.

*Nods in agreement with David's last comment*

Glad you enjoyed it so much, Karen!

I went ahead and bought the second book and hope to get to it soon!
