“After finishing this book a month ago I still think about the characters and scenes that really affected me. While this was not a very happy story, it was very captivating and I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. The author painted so many scenes that were so disturbing that at times I felt a little uncomfortable- which was good because it really kept me interested in the story. ”

“Very long read. If you enjoyed "The Stand" this book will probably keep you entertained. A few plot holes and outdated references. I really liked how the different characters merge together.”

“At first I thought it too closely resembled King's The Stand. Instead of a global plague, a nuclear holocaust forced a battle between good and evil. Though there are still very close similarities, I enjoyed the connections. It makes me wonder if everything happens for a reason or if individuals just make the best of their god-given gifts.”

“I loved this epic novel. Swan, Sister and Josh take us on an apocalyptic journey into the (not so distant) future. It has it all. Good, evil, hope, despair, love, hate and everything else that makes up great fiction. After a few short introductory chapters where we meet the main characters, the action starts and never lets up until the end of the book. I could not put it down!

Should be required reading.”
“Doesn't get much better than this. Even better than The Stand, which I loved.”

“This is my coworker's favorite book of all time. She'd been pushing me to pick it up but it took a long time and I had no idea what to expect. I'm not sure how the author was able to imagine every horror flick's worst nightmares woven into a narrative that is a tale of hope and redemption. Amazing. I wonder what happens now... I'm sad it's over!”
