Death’s Twilight - A Definite “Must Read"
After reading the first chapter of Death's Twilight, I realized very quickly that I was simply hooked. A. J. Leavens has done a fantastic job of portraying a post-apocalyptic world while retaining elements of our own time and society all with a fun sense of humour. As the adventure developed, I found myself anticipating what would happen next and the chapters passed with greater and greater speed. If you are a fan of post-apocalyptic, futuristic science fiction fantasy, Death's Twilight is a ‘must read’.
At first, I felt some of the references to ‘the past’ (our current society) may have bordered on being slightly cheesy; however, the author's creative style and command of the genre turned this into a taste that is quickly and easily acquired, and furthermore, into something that makes this particular book fun, unique and interesting. I was sad when I read the final pages because it means that I now must wait for the next installment...
