In the gray new world…

…crossing the country is a gauntlet of death.

Can they survive the journey?

Cory’s family was his first concern. He had to get home, but Indiana was over 2,000 miles away and he had only one questions. What dangers lie ahead?

The warmth of the sun faded.

When the temperature dropped, panic set swept the world. Fears of doom terrified the masses. Gangs roamed the streets. The girl he had helped had proved to be a valuable travel companion. Cory has no idea what Anna isn’t telling him.

Will her past help them or be their downfall?

Someone was on their trail.

It was good but please don't write about every little movement. for instance just say he got out of the car walked to the hotel and went around the corner. Not he opened the car door took the keys out and put his left foot out of the car etc. You make it seam like you just needed so many words to get the book published but writing every little step is too much. I am waiting to see what the last book will hold and it is wordy.

This book is hard to put in a genre.  It has few characters so that you get to know them well.  The plot is straight forward and no twist.  Stay Alive by Derek Shupert has made me a fan of his writing.  Nothing fancy, just a darn fine read.

Brink of extinction 2.

Still no idea what’s going on with the ash, electrics, and their planes just dropping.
Thankfully alive they get themselves caught up in gang fights in Utah. As do the hit men Scarface and Jackal. Brilliant read.
Roll on book 3

I'm totally hooked on this series. Love the main characters, good and bad. Cory is a great bloke even with his past. It's a great storyline and I can't wait for the next book.
