Earth

Ship #4

by Jack Drafahl, Sue Drafahl, Jack Drafahl

Earth (Ship book four) is two stories occurring in the same place but at different points in time. The first timeline starts seven years after a man-made plague appears to kill everyone on Earth. Six Technical Force survivors struggle to discover what happened to all the people and defend themselves against Ice Age animals and an unknown human enemy that also survived. They establish a new home in Oregon where generations of children spread their exploration throughout the mainland U.S. The second timeline concerns the events following Jake McDonald’s return to Earth more than a hundred years later, where he discovers that someone has survived, both friend and enemy. The oldest son Brad is responsible for restoring Earth, while the transplants from Mars and the remaining crew from Jake’s ship Meg, set up communities on the smaller islands in the Pacific Ocean. Chapters alternate back and forth between the two timelines as they come crashing together at the same time.

Very good book

As with all the previous book in this series I enjoyed it from cover to cover. For me it had some slow spots but overall I enjoyed this series and I am looking forward to the next book In the series.
