Every time I pick up a new one by Nocomus Columbus, I think to myself, oh God, what have I done. This man has a skill for taking me where I don't want to go. I read ROMANCE NOVELS, for crying out loud. But I'm hooked. So when I see a new one up, I can't help but look.And once again, he delivers, dragging me into a genre of literature I normally despise, this time post-apocalyptic. And as usual, he made me like being there. This story was fascinating, intense, and thought-provoking.We follow McDonald through his flashbacks and nightmares, his fights and his love affair with a hooker too many years his junior. We trace his downfall and triumph in what must be one the most tragic happy endings ever written.As usual, the images just jump off the screen, vividly, painfully alive.The skill with which this story was wrought is astonishing. If it weren't for the language, this is the kind of story one would read in class and analyze for theme, tone, and imagery. It's that strong.And so, the girly romance lover can only shake her head and say, most sincerely, he's done it again. No matter what genres of literature you like, you won't want to miss this.
