“Amber Rain” is for fans of post-apocalptic and dystopic situations.  So if you like “A Canticle for Liebowitz” or “The Earth Abides” or “Alas Babylon” you will probably love “Amber Rain.”  I also was reminded, and I am not sure exactly why, of the video game series, “Fallout” as I read “Amber Rain.”  Perhaps "Fallout" back story, rather than the "Fallout" first person shooter aspects.The novel is very well written with the main character, Ellie, quite realistic and believable.  The words are written in such a way as to paint pictures in your mind.  At times, it flowed so well that I was transported to the places Ellie saw and encountered in her journey.  Not only does Ellie have physical tasks, but there is also a deep inner quest which comes through very well in the writing.  I am trying to avoid revealing spoilers, so sorry of it sounds vague.  There are superb plot twist which you need to experience by reading the novel, not being alerted in a review.  But believe me, you will enjoy this book.“Amber Rain” lacks some of the intense slasher-type gore and violence sometimes found in other post-apocalptic novels or movies, yet it still felt very much dangerous and intense.Very good novel from excellent authors.  Bravo!
