Good post-apocalyptic fun

This book is the start of a really enjoyable sf adventure series.  Great visual description and action scenes show off E.E. Knight's flair for world-building.  The setting of these novels is convincing and riveting, too, he uses real geography but in a transformed world. It's a great mini-vacation for your brain - my favorite escapist fiction.  Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this series.  This is the second book in the series.  It is a semi-post-apocalypse (more like post-world-as-we-know-it) type theme with a twist, but the story line is very interesting and the characters are well developed, making for a quick read.

I've enjoyed this book, so far. Am not quite half way through it yet. I do enjoy the whole post-apocalyptic type stories.

This entertaining, post-apocalyptic yarn will keep you turning pages. I did appreciate the author's attempts at keeping some sense of realism in the tale, especially from the standpoint of the Prepper's communal readiness, but in general I found the degree to which the main characters were exposed to catastrophic injury and stress and yet escaped with life and limb in tact to be somewhat fantastic. A little more internal character strife at the expense of action would be appreciated; yet overall, it's a good book for young readers, and I am grateful that someone is writing something entertaining and inoffensive for the family.

A pretty good twist on the EMP post apocalyptic world. Good character development, a good read. I'll probably buy the next one!

I was recommended this book by PC Gamer as something to enjoy while waiting for Fallout 4.  As it turns out, there was no disappointment to be had.  The detailed description provided a complete picture of this post-apocalyptic world with a society so alien to our own.  Within this world are secrets you can make your own predictions upon and be well satisfied with the truth behind them.  I didn't find anything particularly cheesy or any plot-holes as a convenient dues-ex-machina style solution to a problem.

Story: 5/5
Writing: 5/5

I'm well invested to continue on with this series.

I purchased this as a filler-between-series book, and was pleasantly surprised by the story, the characters, and the well-developed world I encountered. The premise is that a group of time-travellers land in an alternate version of today's Earth, post-apocalyptic, populated by sentient dinosaurs, and humans who are slaves, food, and worse; other humans are above and apart from slavery/food, living outside the major dinosaur cities. The author weaves his current-day characters' memories into the action, leading us to better understand who they are and how they came to be this way.
There's drama, mutants, technology, power struggles, a touch of romance, zombie-free post-apocalyptic lands, and an alternate reality timeline...all wrapped up in a fast read. I purchased the following 3 books immediately on finishing this one.
(I would have given this book 4.5 stars if possible: there are some typos that need to be edited.)

A unique twist on the post apocalyptic scenario.
The author's style reminds me a bit of George RR Martin, in that no character is sacrosanct. Anyone can die at anytime - so don't get too attached!

Since the first book is Free - give it a try and odds are you will find yourself deep in the silo, looking for more. Hopefully, the author continues the storyline and the format. I much prefer short interim releases instead of waiting 3-5 years for the next installment.

Kudos - Hugh, keep 'em coming!

A lot more fun than I expected - there's the satisfaction on gear and loot drops that define this emerging genre, but fleshed-out characters that you want to follow.  The dynamics between players and characters is smart and believable, but not weighed down with either overbearing pomposity or self-congratulatory (but ultimately weak) humor that can infest this genre.  A fun read if you're geeky enough like me to enjoy these types of stories.

There's a trail of evil leading to the repugnant Kade and his Freaks in Chicago. It's up to a deeply flawed hero to rally the troops and put the agent of Chaos down.

Fans of post-apocalyptic fiction won't be disappointed by this book. It was part of the Apocalypse Weird project, and though darker (and with considerably more blue language), it still hits all the familiar checkpoints fans of that series grew to love before its untimely demise.

Mr. Williams made his bones as a short story wizard, with quick, rapid-fire writing that culminates in delightful twists for characters that cross the pages like a passing cloud of, well, Smoke (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Smoke-A-Short-Story/dp/B00W04F176/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Smoke: A Short Story</a>). That style has some drawbacks in a full length novel. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the characters can sometimes sound alike. This makes it hard to know who's speaking. It's sort of like reading a  comic book without the illustrated panels to help with attribution. There is a lot of action, but it tends to go on for too long without resolution or a break, losing its impact and intensity.

All in all, this is a solid story with compelling characters. It is definitely worth reading for fans of the genre. If you're on the fence about reading this book... take the plunge.

I like post-apocalyptic novels, and this was a good one. Good character development. I would have liked a better description of the event, and a more final conclusion, but definitely a good read.

Fantastic film set in a post apocalyptic wasteland, but not very dour. In fact, it's pretty much a dark comedy. Decent pacing, fun dialogue, and the inspiration for the Fallout series can be seen. It's not too long of a movie, give it a shot, it is very worth it.

I liked it. Humor and horror with a little romance between badasses.  The sights and smells of Z' s and apocalyptic world certainly came through.  Maybe too much though.
I wasn't really sure I was reading Timothy W. Long or Rich Restucci (one of my favorites).
Recommend.

A friend recommended this book to me, and since I wrote briefly about a zombie outbreak in Afghanistan in Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator, I figured I should read it.  I was not disappointed.  The plot was one we've seen before:  world is overrun by zombies, but one child may hold the cure so we must get him to safety.  However, I was impressed by the realism of how people handled the situations, from tactics I could actually agree with the usual human stupidity I would expect in a world gone mad.  I also enjoyed the (for me) exotic locations:  Pakistan, Delhi, northern India.  I felt for the characters, especially the Navy SEAL.  (Sentimental me teared up when he did the heroic last stand to buy the others time, and afterward, a general (also a SEAL) promised to search for him.  "We don't leave our own behind.") I will warn you, though:  if you hate head-hopping, then this book might make you dizzy.  Personally, I had no problem with it and thought it kept the pace fast.

Definitely a fun read for zombie fans.

This is a good story for those that like post-apocalyptic themes.  The characters and plot kept me interested and even the ending was okay!  Not everything was probable, but everything was possible...which for me, makes it a really good story.
