Review: Good Post Apocalyptic Horror Tale
Rating: 4 out of 5

Scott Nicholson writes a pretty good story no matter what genre he's focusing in on with a particular book, and I like this apocalyptic tale featuring a worldwide solar flare-induced succession of EMP's along with a twist of horror with a mutant version of human.  Nicholson does a great job of getting you into the heads of his characters, and your emotions will rise and fall (as well as your pulse at times) as you feel like you are part of the action of the story.Notice I mentioned mutants in the paragraph above - normally, I don't like stuff like that as it can get too weird (fast), but rather than dominate the story it is complimentary to it as it is plausible under the baseline story Nicholson established.  Rather than have a spoiler, I will leave it at that.  However, if you like Stephen King's works you will like what Nicholson has done with this story.I originally picked this up for 99 cents during a special Kindle promotion upon the book's introduction, and as I type this review I see the price has reverted to its normal pricing of $3.99: you'll get a lot more entertainment value out of it than $3.99.  I've picked up the sequel to the story as I enjoyed book one and want to see where the Nicholson's imagination takes me next.
