Two years have passed since humankind faced extinction: Two cousins are leaving the protection of their underground bunker for the first time, after a cataclysmic war and unrelenting disease ravaged the earth. On the other side of North America, a young survivalist is leaving the seclusion of his cabin deep in the woods, traveling with his aging canine companion, Winston. For individual reasons, … reasons, these men are traveling east, where the fragmented lives of a small number of survivors will soon be decided by the choices of a corrupt few. Although they are not yet aware, the strength that resides inside them will soon be tested, and destiny will call for their fates to be forever intertwined. “A fierce post-apocalyptic story of war and loss, of nature’s vengeance, of survival in the face of overwhelming odds.” – Manhattan Book Reviews

This is a great BOOK FORM THOSE OF YOU WHO ENJOY DESPAIR AND WORSE, i DO NOT BUT IF THAT IS YOUR GAME THEN THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN BOOK FOR YOU.
Great book , need to read the next recommended book !
I was really enjoying this book until about 2/3 of the way through. The story and the characters dealing with terrible post-apocalyptic conditions had my attention. Then…the book became about the “bad guys” who somehow were smarter, hamore food and drink, we’re better equipped and always 1-2 steps ahead of the “good guys”. It all became a bit unbelievable considering the supposedly difficult times. The description of some of the violence was a bit over the top and unnecessary …well, I just got bored with a book that started off as quite interesting, and then it became “how do we stop the bad guys”? Been there, read that…wasn’t interesting anymore. Stopped reading it, and I removed it from my Kindle. Certainly not gonna buy any further books n the series.
Liked this book, it was interesting how people react supposedly when something of this magnatude hits a few survivors of a holocoust. Kept me interested to the end, wanting to find out what was going to happen. Hope something like this doesn’t happen to us living at this time, would not be coo.
Great read!
Decent story but mediocre writing
Great characters and story lines as people cope with the aftermath of a global war.
It was an interesting read. It could be something like this if WWIII breaks out.
At first, in the beginning it’s a real page turner. Towards the end… All I wanted to know what was going to happen next. A GREAT read!!
Good triumphs over evil in this post-apocalyptic tale. The After War is not over burdened with survivalist how-to narratives. Brandon Zenner weaves a fast-paced story around five compelling characters faced with destruction and death in a world torn apart by war and disease. Well-written and plausible, the After War is a gripping read.
trite and repetitive
Great read. Very well written. Kept me up later than I should. Think would make a great movie. Just had that feel. Don’t miss this one.
Great book, really enjoyed it.
Well written and realistic. I enjoyed the main characters- they were unique. The storyline was, again, well written and enjoyable, even if somewhat predictable. Worth the read.
