Time is running out and there is only one chance to save mankind.

One outpost is left on a dying Earth and holds what’s left of humanity. Millions of people crammed into a few square miles resulting in overcrowding, starvation, pollution and a daily fight for survival in a crime and disease-ridden city.

The Continental Wars that started in 2167, and only ended when the entire population of the planet was nearly wiped out, were shortly followed by an increase in temperature and the melting of the ice caps. This created global flooding and devastation until the waters receded and the oceans all but dried up in the boiling heat. Global warming and toxic fallout created an environment not fit for humans or animals. The ancients had created a double death blow with their wars, overpopulation and mass industrialisation, raping and pillaging the planet of its natural resources along the way.

Carl is a scavenger and survivor, born in the dust of the old city. One day, while out searching for supplies, he uncovers a secret plan to solve the Earth's resource problems once and for all. The elite say it’s a brilliant plan, one that will restore humans to their former glory, while others know it's madness and risks the destruction of mankind.

Review: The Butterflies by Kimberley Waldron

In any town, there are bound to be a few bad apples. And the people of Larchmont, Texas are learning that they live among unsavory neighbors and work among unprincipled co-workers. The folks at the Larchmont PD are no exception. They are all flawed, but they have to work together to solve the biggest crime in the town's history. When a string of bizarre murders plagues Larchmont, Texas, a rural town drowning in sweltering heat, the residents witness a string of murders, and it gets easier and easier to predict who might be next. A pedophile preying on unsuspecting children. A funeral director taking advantage of his clients in their time of grief. A wretched old woman murdering animals. A heartless government employee who steals money from schoolchildren. As the worst of Larchmont's citizens keep dying, the people can't help but cheer for the killer. Can justice be served if people sympathize with a psychotic serial killer? Does their sympathy cross a forbidden line in the sand? Will this killer pay for these crimes, which leave the town a better place, or will the killer walk away? A skillfully written, twisting, fast-paced read that is complex enough to keep you interested and maintains your curiosity to the last page.

Review: What a great plot. If the the worst people in town were killed, would anyone care? Maybe their families, if they treated them well. In this story, few weep for the dead. I was surprised until the reveal of the killer and to be honest I was confused by it. I didn't expect it. I believed there was going to be a twist. There's all ways a twist. Details through out the book come together at the end. It was really cool how Waldron brings it all together. I enjoyed it.

But after a case of mistaken identity, Jessica finds herself in a massive confusion kerfuffle.

But behind its perfect façade, its trimmed hedges and luxury cars, a darkness lies. Girls, dependent on Adderall, outmaneuver each other to get into top colleges, while the mothers’ need to live vicariously only makes it worse.

Bella DeFranco is one of the Bronx’s top SVU detectives. At only 37, she disarms everyone with her stunning good looks, yet she is as tough as most men—and a lot smarter, too. Yet when is summoned to Greenvale, she finds herself getting lost in a case that even she can’t comprehend.

With a killer on the loose, time running out, and a new partner who never recovered from his washed-up alcoholic days, the odds are stacked against Bella. She is determined, though, to save these girls, whatever the cost. Yet as she gets close, the depth of psychosis she discovers shocks even her….

Review - Lisey's Story by Stephen King

Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful story ever, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.

Bool? A new word introduced by Stephen King into my vocabulary. Read this story and you will learn it about it and eventually understand it. It is the thread that binds everything together. What I can tell you after finishing this is that it's a wonderful story. The first third is a drag. Introductions and definitions really of all the words and ideas you will follow for the rest of this book.

The story flashbacks a lot but it is essential to the story as every reveal from the past is relevant for the present. It is done well and draws you into the bizarre world of Scott and Lisey. The villain is a real terror and the reader presented the character is a way I could only imagine Matthew McConaughey playing the character in my mind. Mare Winningham read this book so well. It was a pleasure to hear her.


Get this book, it is awesome! A short interview with Stephen King follows the story. He gives insight to where this story came from. 


BOOL! The end.
