There's only one place left that’s safe. It’s the last place you should be. Gabriel remembers the Last Day. He and Mags had been on a tour of the White House with the rest of Miss Kimble’s first-graders when it happened. They fled with the President to a long-abandoned bunker, even as the first of the bombs began to fall. Ten years have passed, and now Gabriel is almost grown. He still lives deep inside the mountain, waiting for the world to thaw. But outside the storms continue to rage, and supplies are running low. The President says it will be okay, because they are the Chosen Ones. But Gabriel isn’t so sure. Gabriel’s their scavenger, and he’s seen what it’s like out there. Then one day Gabriel finds a bloodstained map. The blood’s not a problem, nor are the frozen remains of the person it once belonged to. Gabriel’s used to seeing dead bodies. There's far worse to be found in any Walmart or Piggly Wiggly you care to wander into. Except this one he recognizes, and it shouldn’t be all the way out here. Now all Gabriel can think is how he's going to make it back to the bunker and let the President know what he's found. But Gabriel's troubles are only just beginning. For things are not as they seem inside the mountain, and soon he will face a much larger problem: how to get Mags and the others out. ★★★★★ “…I was riveted from page one…” ★★★★★ “…this page turner will leave you gasping for more…” ★★★★★ “…I defy you to put it down…” ★★★★★ “…fast moving, with developments that kept me furiously turning pages…” ★★★★★ “…a coming of age book in a future world the likes of which I have not read since Heinlein's Juvenile series…” ★★★★★ “…fast paced with twists and turns that have you craving to know what happens, yet not wanting the story to end…” ★★★★★ “…the characters are simple yet complex, the storyline compelling and frighteningly plausible…” ★★★★★ “…the characters are adroitly developed and the pace is unrelenting…” ★★★★★ “…a chillingly authentic book…” ★★★★★ “…lyrical, poignant, and brutally honest…” ★★★★★ “…a truly remarkable piece of dystopian fiction…” ★★★★★ “…I give it five unqualified stars…” ★★★★★ “…excellent read.

How he got there -- well, that's the real story.This is a chillingly authentic book about what might happen if a nuclear winter comes to pass. It is lyrical, poignant, and brutally honest in its depiction of a microsociety left to fend for itself after the unthinkable happens one sunshiny school day.Gabriel's first grade class went to the White House on that day for a tour. When atomic bombs begin raining down on the Eastern Seaboard, they are evacuated, along with the President, to a remote bunker deep within a mountain in the Maryland hillsides.This is the story of what happens to that class of first graders ten years after the event.Gabriel, who's sixteen by now, and Marv, a grizzled old soldier who happened to be part of the Presidential guard detail on that fateful day ten years earlier, are the two people charged with venturing outside the bunker periodically to forage for supplies in the ravaged towns nearby.One frigid winter day, Gabriel discovers the frozen body of one of the Secret Service men who met them at the mountain that day long ago. He had been officially listed as "missing." But the bullet hole between his eyes tells a different story.Thus, this simple dystopian tale of adolescent survival in a world that has shrunk to the size of a tiny village takes on a mysterious air. Who shot the agent -- and why?The President, a seemingly affable former preacher, holds sway over the tiny community, which is run like a home for wayward juveniles. There is precious little love, and marriages will soon be arranged by the President and a select group of advisers -- including the former Secretary of Defense, who now acts as Quartermaster for the community.Gabriel has put Mags, whom he has known with the others since childhood, in his "top five" list of potential mates. But will she requite his feelings and declare her love for him -- or be paired off with someone deemed "more suitable?"This is a tightly woven tale that is part science fiction, part coming-of-age, and part mystery as the reader is immersed in the daily goings-on of Eden and its regimented citizens.The second half of the book reads eerily like Stephen King's The Stand, as Gabriel makes his way through the treacherous, snowy terrain to another bunker 80 kilometers away, then returns to participate in the novel's surprise ending. The intervening action will leave you breathless.This is a truly remarkable piece of dystopian fiction, and I give it five unqualified stars. Many thanks to the author for providing a great summertime read.

Among Wolves: A Children of the Mountain Novel is one of those kind of books and I’m happy to say the first book in one of many in the series, I hope. It opens with an event thirteen days in the future and then moves back in time to tell the story of how Earth has become the cold waste land it now is, seemingly only inhabited by a small group of teenagers and a few adults. The story is told through the viewpoint of one of the teenagers, Gabriel, who stumbles upon something that drastically changes his outlook of his current situation. I loved this book and read it in a couple of days. There is lots of action, a bit of romance, and an entertaining mystery, so there is a little something for everyone. It is a book for young adults but, as with many YA books today, appropriate for any age. The characters are well written, both interesting and believable in their actions. Gabriel is likeable and had me cheering him on in the end. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series. The only thing I was not impressed with was the cover which I didn’t find particularly eye-catching. I read this as a digital download and it formatted well to my ereader.

After a hugely auspicious debut with medical thriller Viable, Hakok moves genres and steps into the futuristic world of apocalyptic oblivion where the sole survivors are a class of school kids, saved on a visit to the White House on the day that nuclear war took hold. Hakok takes up the story ten years later as these children are approaching adulthood and through the voice of the precocious Gabriel he takes us into a barren United States, sentenced to nuclear winter without parole.The characters are adroitly developed and the pace is unrelenting. With twists and turns aplenty, this page turner will leave you gasping for more and I defy you to put it down before the pulsating denouement. It will appeal to lovers of futuristic fantasy, science fiction and plain old thrillers. Some day Hakok is going to be huge. You heard it first here.
