Looks great! I love post-apocalypse books, in fact just finished one tonight titled, “The Gyre Mission: Journey to the *sshole of the World” by Edgar Swamp. This book really made me appreciate the world and it’s immeasurable treasures. Thanks for suggesting “The Aviator.” I can’t wait to check it out!

Good read, an occasional editing fault but that’s no big deal. It’s very imaginative and fun for a story about such a topic.

For me it was a page-turner and I didn’t put it down till I had finished it. When the characters were in danger though I never was caught up in that. It felt like those 30 minute sit-coms where everything turns out okay at the end of 30 minutes. I didn’t feel the drama, never felt the characters were in real trouble.

I did enjoy the development of one of the characters (don’t want to give spoilers here, but the turn with the female character and the connection with the ship). I’m looking forward to his next book–this one felt like it was setting up the stage, and the next book will be even better with more character development and indepth plots.

A good read and I found it staying with me as I thought about the book long after I’ve normally forgotten most fiction books I read.
