Publisher Description
When most of the world's population transform into super predators with a taste for flesh, the remaining survivors huddle together and try to start again by carving out an existence in the wasteland. With the night belonging to the feeders, however, it seems only a matter of time before humanity is driven to extinction.
As Matt and Sally wander through the empty landscape, they meet others who vow to fight and reclaim the world from the evil beasts who were once human. When a girl is discovered who may have powers to resist the creatures, the survivors know that they must protect her at all costs.
Desolation Boulevard is an action-packed thrill-ride in a bleak, disturbing future where humans are number two in the food chain.
You'll be wishing they were just zombies.
(While this book is fantastic, it is not to be confused with the movie "Desolation of Smaug")
Customer Reviews
Unique and well-written
Mark Gordon offers the reader a unique world expressed by vividly rich writing and perfect execution of literary elements in this book. I found the environment and plot to be really original, it retains some classic elements that would be comparable to many other sci-fi books (of which I am a huge fan of) but with the author's own unique twist added to it that stays fresh and intriguing.
One major factor that really stood out to me about this book is how dynamic and different each character is. Some characters have just the right amount of detail to seem almost life-like, while others are more on the mysterious side- with just enough detail to leave the reader wondering what is going to happen next and adding an element of suspense throughout the book.
Sleep aid
More like reading one of the Goose Bump novels that my kids use to read.
