Troop of Shadows

The Troop of Shadows Chronicles, Book 1

De: Nicki Huntsman Smith

Narrado por: Anne Lentino

A catastrophic pandemic ravages the globe, reducing the human population to extinction levels and cleansing the world of mediocrity.

A doomsday prepper, a molecular geneticist, a journal-keeping loner, and a martial arts-trained nerd survive the disease that annihilated almost everyone else on the planet. Despite the miles between Kansas and California, Texas and Arizona, the four share a connection.

They realize that not dying was the easy part.

Now a year later, they navigate a bleak world...one without technology, without modern medicine, and without law and order. They must unify their diverse strengths not only to rebuild civilization but to battle those who would forge empires through brutality and oppression.

"There is one who would rule the world or see it burn."

Fans of Stephen King’s The Stand, Hugh Howey’s Wool series, and Markus Sakey’s Brilliance trilogy will love this novel. Intricately plotted, superbly paced, and brought to life by fully-developed protagonists, quirky supporting characters, and charming villains, the Troop of Shadows Chronicles is a tour de force. It is the unfolding story of the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and is populated with some of the most entertaining people you’ll ever meet.

Good story

Good story. However, the performer needs to learn how to pronounce K-bar (pronounced like it is spelled, say the letter k then add bar).

Enjoyable

Good dystopian novel. Interesting twists on the theme. Looking forward to book two and how she brings it together.

Attention grabber

The characters in this book are developed well and easy to follow. Not everything adds up the way you would expect. Kept my attention and very entertaining.

Good book

Trying to find the next books are kind of a pain even when i look up the author.

Disappointing

The writing was ok at best. The author could use a thesaurus. As a combat veteran, I have never heard the word reconnoiter used so much. The narrator's inability to pronounce KA-BAR (kay bar) and weapon calibers. It's 30.06 (thirty ought six) not (thirty oh six).
