Post-apocalypse fiction is one that has been done to death.And along came this charming little tale to prove me wrong. Well, okay, I found it charming. Which isn't to say that it's sweetness and light, because it's not. I was a bit concerned that the 'change' he referred to in the blurb for the hero would be some sort of gamma radiation mutation.. but no. This is much more a story of growth. Growth of the main character, from office drone to hero. A real hero, someone to inspire hope and courage and to model duty and honor. I loved this, since I see it all too rarely.I liked it a lot. The beginning was a little rough, for a couple of pages. I can chalk this up to a beginning writer, because he hit his stride after that, and gave me a tale I didn't have to work for, something I treasure these days. I am really looking forward to what comes next from this author. I'd love to see him take this and expand it.
