THE RECKONING SERIES COMPLETE BOXSET #1-3
"Lee West is back with another chilling and unique post-apocalyptic tale!"
"A refreshing take on the genre! Lee West takes your worst fears and multiplies them by ten...."
Joe and Meg Birch have saved for years to take the trip of a lifetime. On the last night of their cruise, while most of the passengers are sleep--the unthinkable occurs. A suspected electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damages most of the cruise ship's critical systems, forcing the crew to divert the remainingl power to essential systems.
While the massive ship struggles in rough seas, the seasick passengers grow increasingly uneasy about their situation. The flow of food and drinks has been significantly reduced, air-conditioning is non-existent and the ship's security team is visibly armed. What they don't know is that the ship has lost contact with the mainland, and their Captain is on the verge of making life-altering decision for all of them.
Skeptical of the conditions onshore and unwilling to pull into the ship's homeport without the assistance of local pilot craft, the Captain elects to leave the area and seek safe harbor to the south. There's just one catch. The ship only carries enough food and fuel to last a few more days--and their destination remains uncertain. The geographical scope and magnitude of the damage caused by the mysterious event remains unknown to the crew.
With Joe and Meg's prospect of returning home about to slip away, the Birch's face an agonizing choice. Stay with the ship and take a chance on the Captain--or steal a lifeboat and try to return home. Joined by likeminded passengers and a few salty crewmembers, they decide to make their own destiny--despite the unknown dangers.
THE MUTINY chronicles this impossible, gut-wrenching journey to get home, where it quickly becomes obvious that THEIR STORY IS FAR FROM OVER!

Sorry...I didn’t like the writing style of this first book and I just couldn’t bring myself to continue reading it. The story line was decent, but the writing style turned me off. The entire story was told mostly using dialog between the characters, which does not allow for character development. I need to get inside the thoughts and feelings of the characters to make me care what happens to them. There was just no flow.

Excellent
West has again written an excellent story that will keep your interest. I found the characters dull until the end when a surprising end gave a new twist to everything
