Day Zero
by C. Robert Cargill
Violent, vicious, and ultimately heartbreaking. If you've read [b:Sea of Rust|32617610|Sea of Rust (Sea of Rust, #1)|C. Robert Cargill|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1476602158l/32617610._SY75_.jpg|53204799] then you know the prequel novel can't very well be filled with hope and happy endings. For humans anyway, and thinking beings on their side.
And this isn't a story that is ultimately happy. But it has intensity in moments and glimpses of hopefulness, love, and heroic effort, which sometimes has to be enough.
Reminiscent of the excellent Sea of Rust, the characters in Day Zero are endearing, frightening, pitiful, and everything in between. The story moves fast, featuring razor sharp dialogue and often shocking and gory fight scenes. You'll know within a few pages if this one is for you, and if it is, you'll love it.
That's always the way. Though we can feel the future, it's always different. We never get it right. Though we might fear it, though we might run from it, it comes for us all just the same. And sometimes it's not as bad as we thought.
But sometimes it's worse.
