"Yesterday's Gone: Season One" is a six episode Sci-Fi adventure collection by authors Sean Platt and David Wright. This omnibus edition is Kindle 707 Kb download and was priced at $4.99 at the time or writing this review.SPOILERSThis is a post-apocalyptic tale in which 99+% of the world's population has spontaneously disappeared (no one seems to know what exactly happened). The reader follow six unrelated survivors, from various locales across the U.S.A. as they try to gather resources and start anew. And as if the massive disappearance of most of the world's citizens wasn't enough, it appears something sinister is slowly emerging and beginning to hunt any remaining survivors.END SPOILERSSome thoughts...1.) a consistent high quality of story telling.2.) each chapter is quite short and in general follows each of the six survivors sequentially.3.) some very good character development...Boricio comes quickly to mind!4.) cliff hanger endings... many chapters leave you dangling. A technique that always had me eager to get back to this book.5.) encounters between our heroes with other humans and also with the mysterious predators makes for many exciting and tense moments.6.) a tale that was believable within the scope and context of the story's setting.Conclusion:A terrific tale...well written!Superbly paced with lots of action... nearly always something going on or about to happen.As it is... 5 StarsRay Nicholson
