Not too far fetched

With the days of hypersonic missiles and laser weapons with us now the idea of a Government bringing about World destruction become a very real possibility for us all!

"A Talef two halves."

Ca!long itself, amongst other things, a cosy post apocalyptic story, for a tHe of World wide death and destruction, this book certainly had a feel good factor. And completely unrealistic. Read convincingly as Holly, telling the events in first person, Jordan Gibbs' performance is excellent as a man just moved into his new home only days before it was all taken away. The start is dramatic, visual, terrifying and very personal and this continues through the first half. But, come a five years later heading, there is no feel of the disaster which went before, just a bit more 'make do and mend'. And a rushed attempt to magically make everything better - it did not live up to the expectations set in part one.

My thanks to the rights holders who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. Despite the unrealistic ending, it is well worth reading for the unusual and promising first half
