Synopsis

Captain Jacob Thomas USMC is a divorced combat veteran just trying to get his life back on track. Returning to the Marine Corps after a failed attempt at reconciliation with his estranged wife, Jake volunteers for a DARPA experiment that catapults him into a future where humanity has been stripped of 200 years of technological advancements and more than half its population. With the help of a faceless benefactor named Alice, he escapes the confines of an abandoned lab facility and starts a journey to put earth back on a path to recovery. Jake's path begins in the rich farmlands of central California and eventually places him in orbit and face to face with the very evil that started it all.

Charles Lamb (1774-1834) was a nineteenth-century English poet and essayist whose best-known works Essays of Elia and The Last Essays of Elia include such titles as "The Two Races of Men," "Mrs. Battle's Opinions on Whist," "My First Play," "Sanity of True Genius," "Confessions of a Drunkard," and "A Bachelor's Complaint of the Behaviour of Married People." His first poems appeared in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's collection Poems on Various Subjects, and his early epigrams, plays, and essays were printed in such publications as the Albion, the Morning Chronicle, and the Morning Post. Lamb also collaborated with his sister, Mary, on many works, including Tales from Shakespeare, as well as with Charles Lloyd on Blank Verse.

Superb! This is me of the best post apocalyptic series you will read. Unusual social situations morphed into believable situations. Three dimensional characters, a real good guy hero, realistic knowledge of military action and history. Definitely not dystopia. I enjoyed it.......more

Good book After listening to the first two books I could not wait for the audio version to be available at my region so I had to get this once I noticed it's available.
