"Dog Blood" is the second installment in the "Hater" trilogy by acclaimed author David Moody. It takes place in England in an apocalyptic timeline.
The world has been consumed with "The Hate". Battles rage in every conceivable landscape and way between those who are "Unchanged" and the people now referred to as "Haters".
Danny McCoyne was your ordinary and below average nobody. He is stuck in a dead end job and an apartment too small for him, his three children and partner. His life would forever be changed the day the "Hate" consumed him. Instead of the mild mannered wimp he once was, Danny has been transformed into a ruthless cold blooded killer along with a large percentage of the population.
The story in "Dog Blood" revolves around this ordinary man who seems to have developed the extraordinary ability to control and harness the hate, a characteristic not shown by many of his compatriots. This ability is detected and refined by others like him for the purpose of infiltration and destruction of the "Unchanged". But Danny's mind is on his daughter, Ellis. He knows that she is like him and is prepared to go to any lengths to be reunited with her. To be with her, protect her, and fight by her side.
David Moody portrays a bleak and terrible landscape with the literary equivalent of a Rembrandt painting. His rich and very believable characters and dialogue greatly augment this picture. If writing could be considered high definition, Moody is the master of the HDN (high definition novel). You only need to close your eyes to be able to see the rich picture he has painted for you.
Full of incredible suspense, action, and emotion, this second installment in the "Hater" series has it all. You will laugh, be amazed, frightened, and even cry as you are drawn into the struggle to survive.
Rarely has any work of fiction attained this level of emotion. I recommend it with all my heart and eagerly await the third installment.
