I noticed this is Mr. Greene's first novel and am in shock. His ability to create emotional attachments between reader and character is amazing. I found myself laughing at Mauser loved the 'bedazzled jeans' comment , I felt pain when Gwen removes her stiletto heels and begins to run from the undead on sharp rocks and broken glass, I felt pity when beloved characters I don't want to give it away are faced with the inevitable after being bitten, and immense exhilaration when safety finally is reached If you are looking for a book that you will NOT want to put down, this is the one.
Looking forward to Volume 2. I found his description of the embassy in Kinshasa of particular interest. Greene employs great imagery. Marines are not soldiers. They are Marines and take umbrage at being called soldiers.
Just as we would not call a sailor a soldier or an airman a soldier, we should not call a Marine a soldier. I look forward to reading the other books in this series. Agent Steele is not your typical action novel or post-apocalyptic hero. I think that is the reason that I absolutely devoured if you'll excuse the pun this book.
I'm no stranger to books that take place after some major catastrophe wipes out our normal existence.
However, End Time though in the same genre was completely different. What I really like about Agent Steele was that he wasn't perfect.
In fact, I found myself questioning his decisions from time to time. Typically, in these stories, you have a good guy who is the idealized bad-ass who fires a machine gun with one hand while holding onto the damsel in distress all - while firing off cheesy one liners. No doubt Steele is a bad-ass, but he is shown to be a man with flaws, fears, and reservations that make him so much more human than his action-star counterparts from other novels. Additionally, the damsel in End Time seems like she could probably take care of her self!
I really liked that she wasn't the type of character to just bury her head in Steele's chest and cry the whole time. She grabs a gun and kicks ass right along side him! Though Steele clearly has more training than the normal person, we get to peak into his mind a lot throughout the book.
In these moments I felt I could relate to him completely. It was as if I were in his shoes having to deal with the problems he found himself facing. Not many stories can do that! The author, instead of having the reader just be a passive observer to the story, brings you along so that you feel like you are a part of the narrative.
Zombie stories are familiar to us all, but End Time takes the time to start slow and show how bit by bit our civilization would crumble. Instead of rushing to the Hordes of Undead part, the author takes us from the start where its just another sad news story you skim past to where the gov't begins to shut down. I look forward to reading part two in this trilogy and seeing where the story goes. Overall, I would highly recommend this book. The dialog flows easily and the characters are genuine. There were times where, before I knew it, I had consumed another pun! I know you'll enjoy it.
I really enjoyed the book End Time. I agree with those that stated agent Steel seemed like a real person, he wasn't perfect and made some extremely difficult decisions.
