An Apocalyptic Adventure
(The Alternative Future Series Book 2)
by
Blogging and reading for fun has been on the back burner in my life the last month or two due to an up and coming three day test called the CPNE. I have immersed myself in CPNE land in hopes that I might pass in December and obtain my ASN after a lifetime journey of thinking I would do so and a 7.5 year journey with this particular program. Hence the priority. But my brother sent me his latest novella in his series about an apocalypse and I always get a good chuckle when I read his fiction so it was a welcome reprieve from having my head in my 600 page study guide to curl up with his book: A Pale Horse Cometh. This short book is the second of a series. The first book was reviewed by me recently HERE and involves a world wide black out and how it affected the inhabitants of a sleepy little Wisconsin town. In this second book, the people of Fort Atkinson Wisconsin are still recovering from the black out but things are returning to normal when an Ebola epidemic strikes. In the midst of the sickness there are gangs taking over villages throughout North America because the federal government has been voted out by the people who are unhappy with no electricity events and viral epidemics. No governmental control has given opportunists the chance to take control. This is the back ground of the story. How my brother manages to make me laugh under such circumstances is hard to explain. But his books are always belly laughers for me. I will mention that this series has more of a religious overtone than his prior writing did but this is normal for my relatives. I asked him if there was symbolism to the series and he said not intentionally but to interpret things how ever I choose. All in all, my brother's books are fun and I recommend them as a quick read for all audiences. Please follow the links provided above for more information and enjoy the video that follows about Ebola. I thought seeing a world view of the situation might be interesting so I picked a piece from BBC.
