The Black Sky by Timothy D. Minneci
3.0

An extremely well written piece of fiction set in post- apocalyptic Manhattan. Bishop is an ex military member of the new city who is sent on an extraction mission, which once successfully executed, will allow his wife access to the island. His wife, Tessa, is outside the city and is in survival mode until she is able to secure entry into Manhattan. Much in the vein of Stephen King's The Stand, this book is eerily relatable, given the current state of global events.

Minneci clearly has great command of the English language and has captured the essence of a popular idea into which he has breathed new life. The plot twists are totally unexpected but believable. I was a little lost with some of the intricately described weaponry, but that is solely due to my complete lack of knowledge in that area- Minneci did a superb job creating hi tech armament and artillery. The characters are artfully fleshed out, and I felt personally connected to the protagonists.

I look forward to the next installment in the series- I'm eager to find out what happens next!!
