Temple has only known this hard world in which she fights to survive. Finding Maury, a simple mute man, she decides to take him to Texas in search of his relatives as atonement for the things she has done and the mistake she made.
Pursued by a man intent on vengeance, both hunter and hunted travel the roads of this wasted America happier in the wilderness with the walking dead than in the last remaining places of civilisation.
Although life is hard there are miracles along the way and even when the earth is going to hell there is beauty to behold.
This is a fine debut novel with a distinctive voice reminiscent of the western. It is a call to savour the natural beauty around us even though we may be hard pressed with worry and asks that old question, are we bound to our fate or can we make our own future?
The devil has sown his harvest and it is the end of the world – but who are the angels, the civilised in their fortresses or the lone gunmen in the wilderness?
A post apocalyptic zombie novel worth reading.
The Reapers Are The Angels will be published on the 3rd September.
My thanks to Bertrams and Tor for providing me with an advance copy of the book for review.
