Tom Abrahams is one of the best writers in the genre. I throughly enjoy everything he publishes.
This is just pure, poorly written masochism. Murder after murder after murder. This just reeks. No hint of reality, just infantile fantasy. Don’t bother with even reading a sample of this literary travesty.
Decent development of the main character but an unsatisfactory ending in that it requires additional books to see the saga unfold. I wasn’t invested enough in the first book to go forward.
The book was fast moving, predictable, cowboy type but readable and just tempting enough to make me want to read the next in the series. There are a lot of books in this series though and spending $40+ to read most of them is sufficient for me to call it quits. Now, if there were two books for $4.99 I might pull the trigger.
Home (The Traveler #1) was a good read by Tom Abrahams. Marcus Battle thought that he was prepared and his family would be safe. The pneumonic plague killed two-thirds of the world’s population five years ago. Marcus is isolated with his guns, food, and the graves of his wife and son. Marcus has a decision to make when he finds a woman in distress who is seeking asylum. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
This is the first book in a big series and it starts out great. Marcus Battle, who goes by Battle has been by himself sine the Scourge took his wife and son. He has enough of everything to live another 15 or more years without ever leaving his compound. One night he hear’s a women crying out for help. He gets up in the treehouse he built for his son to see if it is a trap. He only sees her and opens the gate, a few minutes later mseveral men come into view. He kills all but one of them but does bring the woman in. She said her, her son and 2 others had tried to escape from the Cartel. The other two were caught immediately and her son did a divergence and told his mother to run. She didn’t want to, but her son insisted. She told Battlethey were slaves to the cartel. She was shocked he knew nothing about it and that they hadn’t taken his land like they did everyone else. There is still a lot more action in this book and it ends with a cliffhanger so on to book 2, I go.
Great series
This is the start of a great series.
Now this is how post apocalypse books should be written. It was awesome.
Interesting concept. Complex character.
Very good read
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was very fast paced and realistic. The hero in this book is someone to cheer for. It is so good, I had to purchase the rest of the series.
Very interesting follow up with new twists and turns.
Not a bad book; pretty good story line, then it just stops —– until you buy the sequel.
Started out strong but was too predictable as it finalized. I chose not to purchase book # 2.
Well written for the genre. In fact, good enough to convince to buy the second in the series,
