Final Dawn: Episode 5 (The Thrilling Post-Apocalyptic Series)

Final Dawn: Episode 1

---

I tell future readers what think of a book and leave the rest up to you.

This series is perhaps one of the best I've read in this genre. The approach is quite different and enlightening and unique, as well. The first couple of "Episodes" give background to the characters and their 'lives' and goes from there. They get in situations that sound familiar and could quite possibly happen if sic: Once you get into the Fifth Episode then more is revealed and it'll surprise the hell outta you. I know that it was that way for me.

I honestly don't know how Mr. Kraus came up with this idea, but I applaud him for his imagination as well as his inovation. You will not be disappointed at all and you will enjoy each and every one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Marcus and Rachel and Leonard and Nancy. They have separated into two groups while Marcus and Rachel head for D.

In the mean time, Leonard and Nancy are heading to Alaska, hoping to contact the Russian sub that David discovered to get them to target the spot where Doe has the bots setting up a compound. Another cantputdownable must read. When I first started reading this series, I thought this will be a good serial to keep up with and see the progression of the remaining population. After beginning the first book, I realize what killed the population was leading toward probably aliens being the culprit, but no it was nanobot..

I was disappointed that was the killer of the human race..

I like a book or series that is more realistic. If I had know this at the beginning, probably would not have started the series but, now since I know the characters, I want to know what happen to them. I will continue to buy the next episodes as they are available. I love this entire series so far Would definitely recommend this to anyone who who likes the post-apocalyptic genre. I also like the way this is set up as 1 chapter a month. Unfortunately when I like a book it consumes me and absolutely nothing else gets done in my life!!!

One chapter a month works well for me! I just received episode 7 and hope it is as good as the others! I just finished reading Final Dawn Episode 6 and I really enjoyed it. The story just keeps getting better and better. I am really invested in these 4 key characters and the obstacles they are going through.

I can't wait for episode 7! My husband and I both have Kindles and can't wait for the next installment.

I was surprised that he would read this type of book, but, they are excitito read. Actually We just finished 7 and I realized I hadn't left a review for this one, so, when you finish this one don't stop, Number 7 is exciting, too. This book still follows the advents in a post apocalyptic world has the old characters and some added although it did leave you hanging and wanting to find out what will happen next, and although it would be nice just to let them save the day! I did enjoy the twists and turns and find myself wanting to know what will follow.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Jul 06, Bryan rated it really liked it. It was a good start to the series, I wish the next book was out already! Interesting concept, but lost me when the silvery floating swarm came along. A Disjointed View of the Apocalypse While the perspectives from each character is interesting, the way it is written is too disjointed for my tastes.

I am used to jumping from character to character but it is usually after further character detail has been given. I had trouble keeping characters straight in this prequel. I hope they are better grouped in the following series. Jan 17, Veronica DelaCruz-Araki rated it really liked it. The first episode was actually quite intriguing. My only complaint would be that timelines of the characters weren't in sync.

Two on this day, the next is the day after, another character a day before Outstanding I enjoyed this book, I am looking forward to reading more. This book gave insight into the characters strengths and what each perceived may have happened. Excited to start book two now. Apr 28, Bernie rated it it was amazing. Season 1 is the first exciting book in this post apocalyptic series written by author Mike Kraus. Aug 14, BarbaraH rated it really liked it. A bright light in the Sky turns the world into a way of life we have never had to live before.

I want to read All of his books!!! Too short I seem to devour these short stories in one to two sitting.

This time I'm going to download the whole existing series at once. Mar 15, Glenda rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: I could not put it down. Even though each chapter was for a different character, there was enough detail that I was never left wondering where I was in the storyline. I can't wait to read the rest of the Final Dawn series and find out what happens with Leonard, Marcus, Nancy and Rachel and the world that is left behind after the apocalypse.

See a Problem?

The Final Dawn series was my second go at a book presented in episodic form. It was going to have a rough time regardless because my first go was a very entertaining End of the World chapter series Owning a Kindle well, having hi-jacked my fiance's Kindle and being broke has allowed me to enter a world I don't think I would have otherwise It was going to have a rough time regardless because my first go was a very entertaining End of the World chapter series called The Island.

Final Dawn is also about what seems to be the End of the World but is distinctive from the first novel mentioned for many reasons. When i first started Episode one I wasn't sure about the format. Kraus tells the story of 4 different people on the day the World is annihalated by multiple nuclear strikes.

Person A's story is told and then B, then C, then D. Then we switch it up.

Editorial Reviews

I prepared myself to be disappointed but soon found that the format worked and chided myself for not paying attention to the date tags at the chapter heads. Final Dawn, nor the Island, is not King's The Stand but it is a good, well thought out, somewhat out there but in a "omg that really could happen" kind of way, entertaining read. There isn't huge character exploration but there is enough to say,for example, why the scientist-mother from Atlanta can handle complicated weapons and seriously kick some ass her husband was an over the top survival freak and just enough detail for the reader to see the characters as people.

No we don't know about their childhood pets but here it is what happens after the bomb drops thats important. I've finished episode 5 by now and am looking forward to the conclusion. Unfortunately I have to wait until the beginning of the year because the author, Kraus, isn't a "super-author" i.

Patterson, King, Koontz but instead a regular guy with a family he wants to spend the holidays with.

Final Dawn: Episode 5

He, like many of us, always wanted to write a book and he, like few of us, actually went out and did it. Looking forward to the rest. Sep 01, chucklesthescot rated it liked it Shelves: Four people are going about their ordinary lives when the nuclear explosion hits.

Nancy is leaving Denver for a new job in Miami. Leonard is a bitter engineer working 22 years for the sanitation department and is stuck underground. Rachel is in her basement when her house explodes. Marcus is on a solo camping trip.

Each of them now has to decide what to do next and where to go to find safety, while dealing with the thought that life as they knew it is over. But the blast was just the beginning a Four people are going about their ordinary lives when the nuclear explosion hits.

Final Dawn: Episode 5 (Final Dawn , book 5) by Mike Kraus

But the blast was just the beginning and they are about to witness a strange living entity hunting down survivors I never follow serial novels as I find them too expensive and it is unsatisfying to read in small chunks when it is better to read a whole novel. However if a first episode or two are available free or very cheap, it is a good way to try a series and see if it is worth reading on, but only if a full omnibus is available.

In this case I decided to read the first two parts of this serial novel to see what I thought of the writing and the story. I decided that I liked it enough to buy the full omnibus paperback. I hope to get that read soon. My one objection to this format from a plot point of view is that each POV is short and it switches to someone else just as something interesting happens. This happens in pretty much every multi POV serial novel and because of this I often find it hard to really get to know the characters and care about them.

In the case of this book, I found the actual storytelling to be very good and attempts are made to get you in the heads of each character. It is more successful in that task than others I have read but as I said this format makes it hard for a story to flow and characters to develop the way they do in a normal novel. This first part had me curious enough to read the second part which I have also reviewed and I then bought the omnibus. I liked it enough to buy it to find out what happens but I do prefer a full novel to read, hence the lower star rating.

It is a decent read so far so we'll see how the full omnibus is, which I'll review seperate. She's trying to make her way there from her old hometown of Denver over the course of a weekend before she's to start her new job. Yet nothing seems to be going her way, a flat tire and a speeding ticket which leave her more behind schedule than before. Leonard McComb is a sanitation engineer working in New York City, who happens to like his job, despite what his family thinks.

He does his job really well even if he's getting passed over for raises. Marcus Warden is a hard working man that loves his parents very much and would do anything for them. He just loves to be outdoors and doesn't feel the need of having a wife or children. He is self-made man that doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.

Rachel Walsh is often away from home due to her job yet feels that her teenage daughter can help out around the house so she doesn't have to do so much. Rachel is constantly fighting with Julie to help out.

When Rachel's husband Jeremy steps in to help with Julie, Rachel let's out a relieved sigh. These might be your typical everyday people from our current time of yet they belong to What do all these people have in common? Will these people ever meet?
