New take on end of the world
346432
This was an interesting new take on the end-of-the-world theme that so many recent books are based on.  It was well written and the characters were well developed and believable.  For the most part, they were likeable, and the ones that needed to be despised were true to type.  At the end, however, I was left a little disappointed that the message always seems to be people are ruining the planet and we just need to eliminate most of them to get things back into balance.  When there are not enough people to do the basic labor of survival, nothing else gets done either, no writing, no painting, no inventing, no innovations. However, I think you will enjoy this book.  It has enough scary stuff and enough thought provoking stuff to keep you reading right up to the finish.

A different treatment of an apocalyptic future with some really nice twist to the plot. I'm looking forward to the next part.

So I'm a big fan of "end of the world" stories. I mostly read zombie books but it was nice to read a different story of how the world ended. The God(s) did it! Imagine that. And not just one. This is a story about the survivors, particularly a boy. The survivors live in clans. Ben just comes back from his "walk about" so to speak and becomes an adult. Granted he's only 14, but in this world you have to grow up fast. I don't want to give too much away so I'll just say this book has death, loss, homosexuality (done very innocently) family, friends, survival and a quest (hence the title)

I like the style this story is written in - reminds me of 'Warday' by Streiber (I probably misspelled that, lol). Minimum of grammar/punctuation errors. Nice the way the stories all come together. Would like to read more about The End of the World as We Knew It.

Great story,great characters. I think this would appeal to anyone who enjoys the end of the world stories that seem so prevalent. Ordinary people with a dose of military and new high tech armament,put a twist on the survivor scenario. Ready to move on to book 3 right now.

Like Lucifers Hammer this book deals with a group / groups of survivors after something really big from space smashed into Earth and destroys most everything.  It's a fun read, decent character development and a plot that moves.  In terms of "end of the world" books this one does well.  It also captures a bit of the zombie genre too.

quite a different sort of end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it story. I am left with many questions and I am looking forward to the next one

This was an interesting take on the "end of the world" genre of books.  Very entertaining and  easy to read.

Most Post-apocalyptic books are zombies, WWIII scenarios, EMPs and disease.  And we fight back.  But what if the end of the world came from an alien invasion changing our atmosphere, flora and fauna and our best weapons work no better than tinker toys?  For 5 years they've been here.  Seemingly coexisting, as long as they're left alone.

This is a very unique twist on this genre.  As usual, Kate L. Mary keeps you wanting more, building that world page by page.

I was a little disappointed at first that this was not a zombie book as I have become hooked on them.  It is an end of the world type of story focusing on Trent & Emily.  They are two of the few people left alive after a virus goes global due to a long incubation period which allows people time to travel all over the world before succombing to the disease.  Trent & Emily think that they are immune to the disease and after they meet they start up the business of survival in this new world.  One day they are awakened by a lot of noise and the smell of smoke.  It is soldiers in hazmat suits going door to door burning bodies & gathering food & supplies.  They manage to escape & get to the farm of a man Emily's dad used to get eggs from.  The guy is kind of a nutjob.  He is also concerned about his diabetic son running out of insulin.  The rest of the story you will have to read for yourself as I have already given too much away as it is.  I would recommend that you read the book, I enjoyed it even though it was not my favorite zombie style book.

It's pretty cool to see a new PA (post apocalyptic) book on the market.  It's been years since anyone wrote one.

I liked this book.  It's obvious that it's the author's first book, but I'd definately like to see more from this author (Adam Caleya.)

Earth the new frontier starts off with the usual end of world build up and moves pretty fast, but by the second or third chapter you really get to know the characters, the villains, and the action moves along at a great pace.  I liked this book and would be willing to buy more books from this author.

This book took me by surprise.  I like the story line and twist on "End of World" fiction.  The characters are well fleshed out and the writer makes me very curious about them all.  I like that the writer leaves me hanging with a bit of mystery in each character and doesn't take up whole chapter detailing every second of their lives.  But you know enough to be intrigued and understand them.  Excellent book!

This is a unique series and presents the survivors of a apocalypse. The author has a group of heros who aren't quite white nights but they are the good guys. One thing i enjoyed is that he did his homework and no goofy references to clips or things that don't make sense. I would love to see more in this universe.

I liked the series.  It has a different take on the end of life as we know it....also, it happens in this era and not some future timeframe 1000 years post apocalypse.  Like it happened yesterday.  Fast paced, suspenseful, no wasted overly descriptive adjectives.....which is refreshing!  Hope to see more from this author!

Very intriguing. Nice take on the apocalyptic. Wonder who the bad guys turn out to be. Not a clue yet.

What a great look into where the world is headed. Reverend Benson was a a visionary, though he may have rather underplayed the role of Islam in the coming world order.

Though it begins a bit slow, the book becomes very interesting as the new religion begins to unravel. Bearing a striking resemblance to the humanist religions which arose after the French Revolution. In fact, much of the new world order in Lord of the World seems to mirror the ideals of the French Revolution and Freemasonry.

Even still, this book is one of the best modern dystopias and is a great read for any Catholic or anyone who is interested in a Catholic perspective of the end times. If you find the Protestant ideas of the rapture and apocalypse as presented in Left Behind to be absolutely ridiculous, then this book may be for you!

I'm already a fan of the EOTWAWKI (End Of The World As We Know It) genre, but I thought the author handled the required "catastrophic event" in a new and refreshing way that should appeal to those who have some real-world knowledge of astronomy and physics. As is typical these days, the author sets us up in the end for the follow-on book, but he does so in a way that allows one to just stop at this one and still be able to sleep at night.
