review
Monte Vista Village by Lynn Lamb is a post-apocalyptic book written in the form of a diary. It is well written and the moved at a steady pace. The characters were well developed and seemed real.

But, in all honesty I did not enjoy this book. I do not like the diary style of writing which made it hard for me to get into. I also found the storyline a little hard to believe. This may be my own idiosyncrasies and should not stop a reader from reading this book. As I said it was well written and the story moved at a steady pace.

Search For Reason by Miles A. Maxwell is the 2nd book in the State of Reason Series and like the first book this one kept me on the edge of my set while reading it.

The author did a great job of picking up the storyline where the first book left off and continued to develop a tail of intrigue and adventure. The fast past nature of the book and the action made it fun to read and follow the various plot line.

I really liked the characters Miles A. Maxwell has created and it was great to watch them grow and develop as the story progressed. This is a book that was easy to get behind and delve deep into.

I really enjoyed Search For Reason by Miles A Maxwell and recommend this book to all readers.

Alien Species Intervention (Books 1-3) by J. K. Accinni is a very deep and dark sci-fi book that will grab your attention and keep you reading. I found it hard to put down and take a reading break once I started the book.

The author has developed an apocalyptic tale which spans several generations. It is well written and easy to follow. The story has many plot twist which add to the storyline and keeps your interest. I did find some of the extreme violence excessive and it did not contribute to the story line.

I liked the cast of characters and found them interesting and believable. It was easy to get into them and their stories.

I enjoyed reading Alien Species Intervention by J. K. Accinni and recommend the book with the following warning.

Warning on Amazon.com:

Warning*** This series honestly reflects the brutality of our world. If you are a sensitive reader, this is NOT for you.*** Contains violence.***

Do you like a great book full of intrigue, action, and suspense? Then The Twelfth Imam by Joel C. Rosenberg is the novel for you. The book will keep you glued to its pages and leave you breathless.

I really enjoyed the storyline the author developed, taken in part right out of current history books and recent news reels. With the author's storytelling style you will feel like you are part of the adventure and part of the history. I hated putting the book down and could not get it out of my mind throughout the day.

Joel C. Rosenberg did an excellent job of developing characters that were both real and believable. It was easy to identity with all of the characters especially the heroes. I found the more I related to them the harder it was to put the story down.

I really liked The Twelfth Imam by Joel C. Rosenberg and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

Terror on Arrival by Kyle Robertson is a very good apocalyptic sci-fi book which will keep you glued to the story. It is fast paced and full of intrigue.

The author did a good job of developing a story which had all the ingredients of a great sci-fi novel. I enjoyed the story and the fast paced adventure.

Kyle Robertson did an excellent job of developing his characters. They were easy to follow and identify with. I like the way he showed their relationship develop as the story progressed.

One big no-no for me is trying to write a foreign accent for a character. This is very distracting and made the scenes with the Frenchmen hard to follow. I know this is a pet peeve of mine, but I did not down score the book for it. I just don't like it.

I liked Terror on Arrival by Kyle Robertson and I recommend this book to all readers.

If you like post-apocalyptic survival stories you will love this book. Life After War: Book One - The Survivors by Angela White is a great adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire read.
The author did a great job of creating a storyline that is both realistic and easy to identify with. No crazy zombies or weird brain sucking creatures, just a world turned upside down and people trying to survive. It was east to get caught up in this book and I found it hard to put down. When I did put it down I could not get it out of my mind.
Angela White did an excellent job of developing her characters. I like the way she made them seem like real people who you would meet on the street. This helped me internalize the story and get caught up in following the main characters.
Life After War: Book One - The Survivors by Angela White is an excellent book and I highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read the next installment.
 
** The author recommends the book to an adult audience due to the violent, graphic and mature nature of the story.

I always enjoy reading a good post-apocalyptic book that deals in realism and human triumph. Life Without Power by Chris Ammann is just such a book. It’s fast paced and the action will keep you glued to the pages.

The author did a great job of develop a storyline that was realistic and easy to believe in. Even with all the twist and turns of the plot the author stayed true to realism in his post-apocalyptic world. It was exciting and easy to follow the story and I really got into the flow.

Chris Amman did an excellent job of character development making his characters easy to identify with. They seem like people you might meet on the street, regular people caught in a world turned upside down.

I really enjoyed reading Life Without Power by Chris Ammann and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

Rapture’s Rain by Chris Pennington is an action packed “end time” novel which added a different twist to your usual stories of the Rapture. I had a hard time putting this book down when I started reading it.

The author did a great job of developing a storyline that was both easy to follow, yet full of twist and turns which kept me glued to the book. His detail and storytelling style made the story come alive as very believable and realistic.

I like the way Chris Pennington developed his characters. I found them to be real and just like people I would meet in Anytown, USA. I found myself getting caught up in their stories and trials.

I really enjoyed Rapture’s Rain by Chris Pennington and highly recommend it to all readers.

Having read several of Michael J. Webb’s books I knew this one would be an exciting read, but that turned out to be an understatement. Infernal Gates by Michael J. Webb will leave you exhausted from excitement. It is full of action and adventure.

With every new turn and twist the author builds on the intrigue which demands your continued reading. The storyline is well developed yet it is easy to follow. I found it hard to put this book down once I started it.

This is the type of story that you can put yourself into as an unseen character and really get involved as the story progresses. I love when this happens as it makes the story come alive to me as a reader.

I really like the way Michael J. Webb developed each of the characters in the story. They were both real and personal. It was easy to develop an attachment to them.

I really liked Infernal Gates by Michael J. Webb and I highly recommend this book to all readers.
