Review: The Beginning of the End
Rating: 5 out of 5

Good example of the genre - very few spelling / editing errors, believable characters and action.  There are no zombies or government bioweapons programs gone bad or aliens - simply an "act of God" that destroys civilization.  Sure, the reader has to stretch the strains of incredulity to accept that one family member out of millions survived the destruction. But that's part of the fun. The author excels in character formation, growth and change.  The hero's transformation was truly horrific despite the trite ending.Again, we have a portrait of man's inhumanity to man, overwhelming proof that beneath the veneer we are simply animals who will do anything to survive.  Can't wait for the rest of the trilogy.
