You also reminded me a bit of elements of Day of The Triffids, I think in style. TBH I really liked your general style - it's engaging without being hard work.” Dee T. “ Wow! It's over. Loved it and loved the ending… What was great is we were both always looking forward to the next chapter. Brilliant. We both loved it.” Sue Z. “Great stuff… thoroughly enjoyed it… The story is way too good not to be shared with millions of people.” Ant Z. “I can't believe it's over! I just finished it: it was really good! And that last sentence makes me hopeful for a sequel!!” Steph L. “The pace of the novel is about right, with the reader able to follow the characters through their journeys, both individually and combined. It feels moralistic without being prescriptive, leaving the reader to make up their own mind about where they would stand in such a circumstance.” Michael S.
