What a great small series of post apocalyptic events.
The perspective of a Battle hardened Soldier has become one of my favorites, Dicks vices, hardened, straight shooting, woman & kid loving Character made him so realistic, so personable that I found myself having similar nightmares and my whole perspective on the opioid addicted changed. As well as a deeper respect for our Veterans. Certainly I’ve read books with battle fatigued Soldiers as the main characters, but never before have I felt so moved, maybe not moved, so in tune with Dick, like he’s been a friend I grew up with. I really can’t explain how much Dick feels real to me in my minds eye, Boyd Craven is excellent in this aspect, all his books I’ve read really really make the characters feel like they could be your neighbor, or you’ve known them your whole life.
The battle scenes are great, never to much Military jargon, but enough to keep you turning pages, & pages I did. This may have been my quickest series read & recommend to date !!!
What an excellent couple of books, thanks Mr Craven !
While I’ve read a good bit of your books, I’m off to find some I haven’t. Feeling pretty happy to be stuck on this author for awhile. Did I mention how real the lead (Dick/Mike) feels ?
Thanks again, look forward to many more GREAT Reads.
