Reviews

"A fine postapocalyptic thriller, with richly drawn characters and the kind of story that we can easily imagine happening." --Booklist "Forstchen is the prophet of a new Dark Age. The wise will listen." --Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of War "The people were so real that I felt as if I had known them for a very long time after just the first few pages. And that, in my book, is true story telling that only the rarest of writers ever master. . . . Bill has perfected his talent." --David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Horseman
