The virus left a gap-toothed, slobbering bite-mark on everything: the land, the survivors, the cities full of ghost-sickness and abandoned for three centuries. A young priest living in an enclave of still-functioning machinery is forced to leave when the girl he loves is afflicted with an unknown and deadly illness.

A shard of humanity thrives in the remains of an old research facility high in the Colorado mountains. Like the brutish tribes outside the sheltered valley, the high priest marks the young villagers during a coming-of-age ceremony. But unlike those tribes, the scars beneath each villager's arm hides forgotten technology from the past. The true nature of the drugged ceremonies and founding ancestors is fantastical myth to most "citizens," who spend their days hunting outside the valley or farming corn and hemp.

One of the hunters, a tough and resourceful teenage girl nicknamed Badger, falls unconscious with uncontrollable seizures. Wilson, a bookish apprentice priest, searches the library and the old databases for a cause to the mysterious illness. Together he and Badger crawl through abandoned tunnels deep within the mountain. When the secrets of the past begin to unravel the young lovers must fight through hostile tribes and wild predators to the radiation-filled remains of Colorado Springs.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Wanted on twelve systems for a crime he didn't commit, the author grew up watching anything and everything sci-fi: Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Space: 1999, Star Wars, and The A-Team. Oh, and Airwolf. Author is elbowing me in the ribs painfully--I am to emphasize his love for Airwolf, and not screw it up by making it sarcastic or hipster-ironic like I always do. Author wishes he could fly a secret government helicopter with Ernest Borgnine behind him in the dickie seat? (That's what he said, trust me.) Author's early years were spent running from wastelanders in the hills of southern Ohio. After college he turned away glittering job offers in food service and insurance and worked for the post office. He taught Bad English in China and Germany, became a Master of Teaching English Thing, joined an internet startup for the free lunches, learned about the science of fire (this can't be a real thing), and worked on a 911 ambulance (he's still working there, trust me). In author's free time he stays one foot ahead of the federales and gives his assistant a raise of 20,000 kopecks and a car and Diner's Club. Author says to tell you his literary influences are Hemingway and Raymond Carver but I can see him through the basement window and he only reads garbage Star Trek fan-fic and that Alan Partridge biography over and over. --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione fuori stampa o non disponibile di questo titolo.

5,0 su 5 stelle vital characters, great sci-fi background plot
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 agosto 2019
Acquisto verificato
Yeah, this is a 2019 review and the book was written in 2012. The book sat in my unread collection of kindle novels. Anyhow.

The book is a page turner. The plot is well described by the author's amazon page. I liked the characters. I liked the plot. And the book just keep delivering. There was always something new around the corner that was being discovered...leading to revelations about the characters' universe in the future Earth....and how they got there.

I recommend it. I'm going to buy book 2 (now in 2019). It looks like there are only 2 books in this series. Kinda too bad.

4,0 su 5 stelle Exciting Post-Apocalyptic Story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 gennaio 2013
Acquisto verificato
This is a great story. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is that I am not a fan of post-apocalyptic novels in general.

Despite this, I was drawn into the story by the strong characters and well-paced plot. The action is non-stop with constant perils and hair-raising escapes. Military technology and facility descriptions used as a backdrop are excellent, as is the bio-technology implanted in the main characters. Many characters and sub-plots are created in detail, and carried through the story, with a pre-apocalypse side trip to explain the origin of the world that the characters find themselves in. The romantic interaction between the two main characters is mature and much better written than is the norm for sci-fi novels.

If you like this genre, this novel is well worth reading.

5,0 su 5 stelle A fresh and interesting story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 settembre 2013
Acquisto verificato
The author does a wonderful job developing the main characters and creating an interesting world for us. I enjoyed the story so much I read it in one day. If you enjoy post-apocalyptic stories this one is worth your time. The plot has a complete ending but leads to a follow up story in the next book.

In short, Wilson an apprentice healer grows attached to a teenage girl named Badger that falls unconscious with momentary, uncontrollable shaking. The plot is more or else a trek to find a solution for her condition among the wasteland where old technology might heal her. The plot is well thought out and I will not spoil it for you. The twists and secrets unfold smoothly and make the book memorable.

5,0 su 5 stelle Intriguing characters that kept me wanting to see "what's next."
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 settembre 2013
Acquisto verificato
The author made me care what happens to these characters and to root for them when things got tough. Most of the story actually develops through the eyes of Wilson, whose love for Badger and his attempts to save her in this post-apocalyptic world requires him to learn more about his ancestors and propels them both into wild adventures. The sudden interjection of the pre-war characters' story might have been better introduced as a prologue. Might have read a little more smoothly for some. I was happy to learn there is a sequel. I have ordered it and am anxious to read more about Wilson and Badger and the other characters. My compliments to the author for his creation.

4,0 su 5 stelle Nice read...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 settembre 2014

Enjoyable read. It's been a little bit since I read this, but I feel that although it did have a couple small issues, I felt it was a great effort overall, and held my attention well enough to finish without effort.

There were a couple small spots with a bit stunted dialogue, but it was good overall. There was also a spot where it seemed like the character reacted in an out of character manner. Sorry for being so vague. I can't recall the exact situation, but that is because it was not a huge issue.

Well edited enough that it doesn't need detailed comment. At least a few tiny issues are present in every novel. Overall well done.
