First off, two thumbs up for Omega Zero. I pretty much read anything I can that's Post-Apocalypse and Henry does the genre justice with this epic action/adventure novel. Not only that, but the author was kind enough to send me a free copy of his novel in exchange for a review.His use of dialogue helps to carve out unique characters like Trent, Emily, and Eight-Ball and his rising points of action keep the book intense from start to finish. I really enjoyed the way the author built the drama and suspense while at the same time weaving together a unique love story among the ruins of western civilization.The ending was something that surprised me in this book, because it's somewhat up to interpretation. While some readers lean more towards a straightforward and nicely wrapped up ending, others (like myself) enjoy an ending that makes you think, reflect on possible scenarios, and extrapolate what might have or might not have happened. The epilogue added a little more closure to the story, but at the same time left the door open just enough for a sequel. In any case, Henry is a great author who knows how tell a story with style and emotion.
