A Legend is reborn in the American apocalypse.
Hood’s life is gone. Student loans, house parties, video games. . .gone. The world has become a place of pure survival. Lucky for him, he’s a natural with a gun in his hand. Learning to live with pulling the trigger is something else entirely.
Over two years have passed since the collapse of American civilization. Hidden away in the mid-Atlantic … the mid-Atlantic countryside rests the small town of Clearwater, where a group of survivors led by a young marksman called Hood and an ex-cop by the name of Whiskey have found security in obscurity. Raging through the remnants of the northeast, two kings, the Kaiser and the Crusader, fight a bloody war for control of the land.
Hood, Whiskey and the Clearwater crew survive by stealing just enough from the Kaiser to keep the town going. But they cannot stay hidden away forever. . .
For reasons he doesn’t understand, Hood is pulled into a war he wants no part of. A war he cannot stop, a war that puts the lives of those he loves most on the line. Kind-hearted, Idealistic and a goofball at heart, Hood must embrace the stark reality of violence and ruthless survival that defines these new dark ages.
If you loved The Last of Us, I Am Legend, or The Road, you won’t want to miss HOOD!

There are a lot of these post apocalyptic books out there these days. And while this one isn’t great, it isn’t bad either.
If you want an easy read and to be entertained, this book will work.
Good reading but not real original story. Same as many in this genre.
I’m not sure I can finish this book. I just do not care for these characters.
I liked Hood a lot. He’s the kind person we would all want to be. Well told story, but it is a bit dark.
The more I read, the better I liked it. Had a sort of sappy ending, tho.
I had trouble getting into this book but it was well written. I think I wasn’t the right reader for it but it was easy to read and the author had solid world and character building skills.
I think most dystopian fiction fans would like it.
Could have ended sooner.
Just couldn’t get into him.
Have enjoyed the entire series. Very entertaining.
Almost didn’t get past first few chapters due to language and slow story, but stuck with it and enjoyed it Could do without the language.
The three main characters, Hood, his sister and her boyfriend, have been shaped by the world around them. As the story progresses, they change to meet ever thougher challenges. Mostly, the reader wants to root for them, but the continuous killing makes that difficult. This is the start of a series and I probably won’t read the rest as I was not happy with the ending of this one.
Same thing happens to several characters, kidnapping, which gets pretty old fast!
