I did not think I would enjoy another series as much as Zombie Fallout but Mark does it again I'm well and truly hooked to yet another fab new series.
I didnt really know what to expect with Indian Hill...Mike Talbot with aliens..nah..really...but his a zombie man!
I needn't have worried!
Book 1 Encounters
Introduces us to the ordinary boy Mike Talbot growing up in suburban Boston with his best friend Paul. Fancying a particular girl who he finally gets his very first date with as they all meet at a local concert; but things couldn't have gone further wrong as everyone at the concert is abducted by aliens....yeah I know you guys have seen and read this a hundred times...not like Indian Hill you haven't...!
Its a genius spacey Mad Max and I loved it to bits. The Aliens idea of fun is to abduct people for gladiator style games to the death with computer generated terrains to find their human champion and guess what Mike is in the thick of it as usual. The aliens want entertainment but they also want to see what human strengths and weaknesses are so they can learn how to take the planet.
We see Mike torn in two as he desperately wants to save people but he's forced to kill or be killed. It contains lots of gore and extreme violence as the fights bring out the worst in the human race; with some cruel sadistic scenes; but still very relevant to the situation as Mark writes with compassion and horrific realism. What an incredible ending to book 1 of this brilliant new series; I didn't see this one coming!
Book 2 The Reckoning
This starts where Book 1 ended as Mike has escaped the Progerian vessel with a little help from a surprising friend after abducting their Supreme commander which isn't going to end well is it?
He reunites with his best friend Paul who has setup a resistance against the aliens as the human race heads for extinction or slavery with the oncoming invasion.
Not a boring moment as you are whisked off from one super fast paced chapter to another, gripping, thoroughly engaging with a dash of romance as 2 women in love with Mike travel across the country to be reunited with him.
Another extraordinary storyline and edge of seat action all the way from the mind of Mark Tufo, I was hooked from page one and couldn't put it down till the last page..oh and grab a coffee to stay awake.
I can honestly say hand on heart if you are on the fence about buying a Mark Tufo book get off you'll get splinters and click Buy Now.
You wont regret it!
