Tom Abrahams is one of the most prolific, brilliant writers in the PA fiction world. His books are absolutely vivid and the characters so rich the reader feels like they know them. Hero finds Marcus Battle an older man now, living in Virginia, with Lou (the woman who was a teen in the last book) all grown up. She’s in serious peril now. And the only one who can save her, and her children, is Marcus Battle. And Battle will not disappoint. Abrahams never uses profanity in his writing, which serves more as cheap thriller than anything else.
How many things can one say about narrator Kevin Pierce? He’s as brilliant as Tom Abrahams. And they compliment each other perfectly. He’s the voice of the apocalypse. His voice is steady as a rock, but the emotion of the story reverberates in his pronunciations. I could listen to him read the phone book, tax codes, a medical dictionary, anything. He’s that good. It just doesn’t get better. Now if it only didn’t have to end.
