What Befalls the Children

Book 4 in the Troop of Shadows Series

De: Nicki Huntsman Smith

Narrado por: Anne Lentino

What has Fergus gotten himself into this time?

The residents of Whitaker Holler, nestled in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, possess the gene (engineered millennia ago) that saved them from perishing during a catastrophic global pandemic three years earlier. They’re lucky. They knew all about rustic living before the apocalypse.

Led by Serena Jo, a brilliant, determined woman who doesn’t hesitate when making impossible, even ruthless decisions about their survival, the Mountain People thrive in this newly primitive world.

Two diverse residents of a secret government warehouse (one of the nation’s seven "Strategic National Stockpiles") camouflaged within a self-storage complex a few miles from Whitaker Holler also survived the pandemic.

Ray, the facility’s former brainy but phobia-plagued supervisor, must accommodate his captive, a malevolent psychopath bent on murdering every human she encounters. Ray knows keeping the survivors safe from Lizzy, despite the toll she takes on his peace of mind, is the most important and dangerous job left in the world.

What if he fails?

An outstanding and exciting book

As in the other novels I have read by Nicki Huntsman Smith, the pace is fast and the plot exciting. I had trouble putting it down. This novel takes place in a small Appalachian settlement. Without any spoilers, the twists and turns in this novel keep the reader's/listeners rapt attention
Just as the story is ending, an unexpected cliffhanger appears. this has me anxiously awaiting the next book in this series. These are some of the most interesting post apocalyptic novels I have read.
