Summary
As a Doomsday prepper， he's ready to survive the apocalypse。 But what about the men hunting him？
It turns out Addison was right: the world as he knew it did come to an end by means of a killer virus。
He’s by himself now near what was Sicily， Oklahoma， tending to a wilted vegetable garden， foraging for rabbits， and eking out not quite enough water from a dried-up well。 It’s time to move。 His Uncle Izzy， whom he’s decided to seek out in his survivalist cabin hundreds of miles away， had prepared him well for an apocalypse – all but for the loneliness。
The plan is simple。 Gun。 Bow。 Bike。 Go。
If he could just make it across the state， then maybe…
But the virus didn’t quite kill everybody。 And humanity isn't all that humane anymore。
Ransacked and run-down， Addison learns all too quickly that hope is the enemy and trust is a liability。 Survival has its costs。
In the land of the blind， the one-eyed man might be king， but in the land of the dead， he’s bait。
The literary bleakness of Cormac McCarthy’s THE ROAD meets the survivalist thrills of Gary Paulsen’s HATCHET in this harrowing novel from Joshua V。 Scher。 Now a Motion Picture from Shout！ Studios and 1157 Productions， out 8/17/2021。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 While the storyline was intriguing there was a bit of clutter to get to the bones of things。 Why was our MC so scared of living in the open？ Why did he need to have rules in place before scavenging for supplies？ What was he so scared of？I understand rules for entering the homes themselves but it felt anticlimactic for him to wait and watch for set periods before allowing himself to enter。I did like the fact that while he seemed to be book smart on prepping， his real world skills did not match。 I While the storyline was intriguing there was a bit of clutter to get to the bones of things。 Why was our MC so scared of living in the open？ Why did he need to have rules in place before scavenging for supplies？ What was he so scared of？I understand rules for entering the homes themselves but it felt anticlimactic for him to wait and watch for set periods before allowing himself to enter。I did like the fact that while he seemed to be book smart on prepping， his real world skills did not match。 It’s was refreshing seeing him learn and grow like a regular human being。 。。。more

Incredibly timely， this book is made for readers in 2021。 If the disease here had a number after it， then it would be eerie。 Stripes isn't just a movie we love， it's a disease in this land that brings about doom。This is a superb book about a kid named Addy （that is who he was to me） who is a survivor that goes on a journey。 The journey is the basis of this very readable tale。 Surviving a long trek across a desolate landscape gets actually worse when he finds other existing humans。The interplay a Incredibly timely， this book is made for readers in 2021。 If the disease here had a number after it， then it would be eerie。 Stripes isn't just a movie we love， it's a disease in this land that brings about doom。This is a superb book about a kid named Addy （that is who he was to me） who is a survivor that goes on a journey。 The journey is the basis of this very readable tale。 Surviving a long trek across a desolate landscape gets actually worse when he finds other existing humans。The interplay and interaction between Ava and Addy make this book a must-read。 The humor made me laugh out loud at times。 This book has so many memorable passages， they stick with you for days after you read them。Beautifully written and clever， it is a very enjoyable read。 The flow of the book is smooth。 The pacing is sublime and makes this an instant classic。 Recommended to everyone who lived in the pandemic。 Read this book， it is written for this generation to enjoy。 A great book that is rightly being made into a film。My Rating: 5 starsReviewed by: Mr。 NThis review first appeared: https://www。nnlightsbookheaven。com/po。。。 。。。more

Nice little read for anyone who likes the post apocalyptic genre。 Not my usual read and this may be why it took me a while to get into the story， but once I did I enjoyed it。 Some good descriptive language。 I felt we got to know the main male character well but the female remained fairly enigmatic。 I personally would have liked to get to know her a little better as well。I received a free advance copy of this book from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily。
