Do you like thrilling suspense? Mystery? The Undead? Interested in how people survive in an apocalyptic world? Well then you need to stop reading right here and just trust Doubleshot Reviews and go pick up a copy of 'The Junkie Quatrain'' by Ex-Heroes/Ex-Patriots author Peter Clines. Go ahead, I'll wait............Ok, got your copy? GREAT! Now pick any one of the 4 stories and read it, then roll a die and pick the next story and continue as such. You're thinking I'm crazy right about now, aren't you?  Well, I am a bit touched in the head, but not about The Junkie Quatrain''. These stories can be read in any order and can even be read as a stand alone tale, but when put together they tell the tale of a a mixed group of characters surviving/manipulating/scientifically studying the apocalypse. Nearly all the characters at some point come into contact with each other, some effecting certain lives more than others.Just to give a little whetting of the whistle, because I am NOT giving away anything in this review. We meet a tough hardened woman who seems better suited to surviving alone rather than with others, a thoroughly professional killer, a scientist/researcher who has his own agenda and a group of scavengers who just happen upon the wrong building to raid. The tension is tangible at times and the mystery and intrigue continue throughout each story as I tried to figure out on my own how everything fits together.I actually look forward to reading 'The Junkie Quatrain'' again and in a different order to see how things might change in how I perceive them. This book is a DEFINITE must have and since I know you have already grabbed your copy....roll the dice, sit back with your cuppa and enjoy the carnage.
