In a chilling dystopian reality, ravaged by a devastating epidemic that has claimed the lives of the majority of adults worldwide, fifteen-year-old Abby finds herself in a relentless battle to protect her younger brother and sister. As a new, sinister disease grips the remaining survivors, Abby is compelled to embark on a treacherous quest to reach Colony East, a clandestine haven sheltering a select group of children under the care of enigmatic scientists with motives shrouded in mystery. With a sense of urgency weighing heavily on her heart, Abby races against the clock to save the ailing victims, only to discover that time is rapidly dwindling for all those outside the confines of Colony East.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Scott Cramer has written feature articles for national magazines, covered school committee meetings for a local newspaper, published haiku and poetry, optioned a screenplay, and worked in high-tech marketing communications. His pursuit of a good story has put him behind the stick of an F-18, flying a Navy Blue Angels' fighter jet, and he has trekked through the Peruvian mountains in search of an ancient Quechua festival featuring a condor. Scott and his wife have two daughters and reside outside Lowell, Massachusetts (birthplace of Jack Kerouac) in an empty nest/zoo/suburban farm/art studio with too many surfboards in the garage.

5,0 su 5 stelle I am absolutely hooked on this series!

I have just finished the second book in Scott Cramer's Toucan series, Colony East (I got an early review copy). So, what do I think of it? It is an amazing book of suspense, intrigue, and betrayal. Are these qualities in squabbling lovers? No! Emphatically! This book works on the premise that a particular natural disaster has killed all of the people over the age of puberty, who came into contact with a bacteria carrying dust. Thus the book is about the 'kids' left behind, the hardships they faced, and how they create a workable society from their limited experience, with varying degrees of intelligence, skill, leadership, and moral character. The compelling way they learned and solutions they developed produced a very believable book I could not put down. I kept seeing the pictures of the space dust left behind from the Swift-Tuttle Comet in my view of the Perseid Meteor shower last month, and I still get goose bumps thinking about the parallels.

Though it does not quote any philosopher, I kept seeing The Allegory of the Cave, from Plato's Republic in this work. As certain kids mature and grow, you can see them progress from those who were content to do what was expected, not ask questions, and believe what was 'politically correct', to the free thinking, clear sighted agenda weighing sleuths, who know what is best for their society instinctively, and are heroic enough to bring about that outcome. I love that the characters all have their own personalities, and each voice is consistent with age, IQ, ability, personality and character type. In my experience, this is a very tall order for an author. The main protagonist (and this is a society of many children and a few adults of both pro and antagonistic characters) is a common sense personality, who uses strong convictions to push for a society that will allow for individuality, freedom of choice, privacy, and most importantly, focus on each individual's service to their society. It was very interesting to me to see how she, and the community that evolved with her, grew into these abilities. Her name is Abby, and to see how her moral standards, and unquestioning faith in humanity are sorely tested and worn down (to the point that she may be willing to do armed theft to benefit those in her world) and how she reacts to this is really quite amazing.

As for the writer; he has a distinctively easy style to read. Short sentences with missing connectives in some cases, to create a sense of immediacy, and dialogue one would expect of 'kids'. He is a man's man of a writer, yet he can cross and construct a wonderfully soft feminine character with both vulnerable and bold qualities. Since this book is written in the third person omniscient with multiple points of view, you get to crawl into many of the character's minds and evaluate the world through their eyes. This allows for more effective storytelling in building a large world of people, and their personal agendas, instead of what most beginning authors do when they limit themselves to first person. I found it a deep and satisfying set of plots and all of them were constructed to keep you continually guessing what comes next. I believe this book was actually better than his first in this series. It is rare for me to say this, but I believe that with the unparalleled storytelling quality of the Toucan series, Cramer has propelled himself into a category that will earn him a notch in the best writing circles. This book obviously has a genre, but as you read it, you realize it will also appeal to those who wish to see the building and melding of hopes, dreams, practical solutions to problems, heroic actions, loyalties, and, paramount, living characters you simply cannot forget (or get out of your mind). This should be a really successful series if the work Cramer keeps churning out is the equal of Colony East.

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent book

Really enjoyed Colony East. I read a lot of free ebooks and whilst there are many that are an enjoyable read very few are in any way memorable, Having enjoyed Night of the Purple Moon enough that I remembered its name (rare for me) I actively looked out for this 2nd book to be released and didn't even mind paying for it. Despite the surprising plot developments Colony East is occasionally predictable but a really good read with good, well developed likable characters. No doubt the target audience is the teen fiction one but as a 37 year old I can say this is a good book for anyone after an easy read. I am eagerly anticipating the release of Generation M in September.

The sequel to "Night of the Purple Moon."
The characters in this second book are less fully developed than those in the first. To understand Jordan and Abby fully, one almost needs to have read "Night."
Toucan, despite the title, has no primary role but serves mostly as background.
Abby is still Abby--trusting, optimistic, understanding, compassionate, and so on. Life, however, has begun to wear her down and leads to her questioning some of her assumptions. Jordan is still Jordan--cautious, wary, skeptical of motivations, and so on. But Jordan, too, shows a maturation and thoughtfulness less evident in the past. In reflection, I more readily identify with Jordan. My excuse is that my survival dictated that approach to life. I could argue that the fact that I have reached my 70s is evidence of the wisdom of that approach. Nonetheless, along the way, I have always believed that I preferred a world full of people like Abby. But to what degree have I contributed to bringing it about? That remains an open question. In fact, over time, I have become more like Abby and, at this point, would consider myself little less cautious, a little more trusting, and subject to occasional bursts of optimism.
Cramer's adults are rather one-dimensional. With only a few exceptions, they reflect what I as a young person thought them to be. Rather rigid, rule-oriented, controlling, and self-absorbed among other similar attributes. Perhaps it is a question of "the pot calling the kettle...."
The colony is a perfect setting for Cramer's adults. It is an environment in which they are inclined to thrive (as such). It is a barracks culture with only a nod toward individuality and humanity largely because young people retain a certain joie de vivre.
There was no pretense of an ending as such. It is a set up for the sequel which I am reasonably certain I will not read.
There is a little too much predictability at this point for me to want to continue. In a word, "it is deja vu all over again."
Cramer is getting a little predictable, sort of repetitive, and at times tedious.
