Description de l’éditeur
Imagine that you wake one morning and everything you have come to know is gone. Your home and car, place of business, even loved ones, are all gone. How would you survive?
On leave from the U.S. Marine Corps, Jason Black considered himself fortunate the morning an unnatural catastrophic wind devastated Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite concerns for a distant fiance, Jason holes up with other survivors in the ruins of a warehouse. Among the survivors, Kelly “Rocky” López is an attractive, thirty something single mother determined to return to her Utah family.
With diminishing resources, the survivors send Jason and Rocky in search of rescue and the cause of the mysterious storm. Their dangerous trek leads across a demolished countryside and into perilous encounters with other survivors. Scrounging daily for food, water, and shelter, they attempt to survive in a world where necessities are luxuries and conflicts turn deadly.
A suspenseful tale of survival, tenacity and the power of the human spirit to overcome “Devastation.”
Avis d’utilisateurs
Great depth.
The best word I can think of to describe Kevin McArthur's book, Devastation, is "ambiance." There is such a mood, and feeling to the book, which of course, is in line with its title, and theme.
The voice Mr. McArthur writes with is unique, and the characters feel real. They have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they play out brilliantly on the page as they interact and conflict with each other.
This story is as much a spiritual journey, in a sense, than it is a physical trial. This adds depth to the book that I wasn't necessarily expecting. (Nice surprise). This makes me want to read more of Mr. McArthur's work.
If you enjoy a great story that is peeled back layer by layer, then you will love this. Its palpable.
