Finished: Earthfall by Stephen Knight
This book started off fantastically. The writing is solid & the premise great. A preordained bunch of survivors(all military as far as I could tell) live in a massive underground bunker in what was Kansas and is now a radioactive wasteland. Their mission is to find survivors and help them rebuild. After a decade they come across a group of mutated humans led by an man who was enhanced by the CIA before the bombs went off. Cue murder and mayhem and it's crammed into a small section of book. I think this could have done with a bit more character development and depth. It's a fantastic story and if there is a follow up great as then someo of the questions left unanswered will hopefully be answered!
Started & Finished: The Landing: The United States of Vinland by Colin Taber
It's an interesting premise, what if the Nordic races had laid claim & settled the US before the English/French etc. And As I am over half way through this book, it is one that is excellently conceived and written. This is only the first in the series and I must admit, I look forward to the next installments to see where the author is going to take this alternate history story.
Finished this today. Fantastic book!! Can't wait for book 2 - Loki's Rage.
