About this ebook

A new star bursts onto the post-apocalyptic fiction scene: Thomas Koloniar. An epic dark saga set in a dystopian near-future, Cannibal Reign follows the fortunes of a small band of survivors, as they make their way across a nightmare landscape populated by bestial, flesh-eating savages after an asteroid strike destroys America. A dark, smart, action-packed vision of a terrifying possible tomorrow—when the only law left is “eat or be eaten”—Koloniar’s Cannibal Reign is an absolute must-read for fans of TV’s zombie smash hit The Walking Dead, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Lucifer’s Hammer, the Mad Max movies, and, of course, Stephen King’s immortal horror masterwork The Stand.

    The best science fiction is believable - like, it could really happen. The possibility of an asteroid colliding with Earth is not the aspect of horror in this tale - it is the reality that most people living in urban areas have less than a week of food and clean water in their homes. Any catastrophic event will find many cities crippled by mass confusion and chaos, within days.An event that blots out the sun, (and there are a few), could lead to the death of all plant life in the effected area. With no sunlight and plants, there would be a mass die-off of animals and humans. It would only take one fool with access to awful weapons to start the apocalypse.The drama in this story is a little wonky, but I really like the complexity of the characters, the action, and the intensity of their will to live. "We may not survive, but somebody has to try."How hungry would you have to be to eat another person; using the rationalization of, "Meat is meat,"?

    Interesting premise, flawed execution.When one of a book's minor characters is a former two-term president living in his home state of Hawaii named (wait for it) "Barry Hadrian," one wonders at what point the author started phoning it in.I appreciate a set piece as much as anyone, but really, why do so many groups of survivors in novels such as this one choose to go somewhere that is predictably troublesome?Upon reading one of the other reviews, I have to agree that there's a lot of male chauvinism. I originally gave this 3.5 stars, but after considering it some more, I've got to dock it a bit.
