Devastation by Daniel D Longdon
Review by D Michelle
I was fortunate enough to read this book before its release, just before the riots in the UK shook the news. I was astonished more because everything that Daniel wrote rings true.
I could empathise with the main character and sympathise with how events just sweep him along. He suffers unbearable losses in this story and yet maintains his dignity without becoming pious.
The characters in Devastation are believable and well portrayed. The interaction between them all is also very credible and the storyline is horrific in places but even more so because you quickly realise that this could actually happen.
This story is set in the future, on a far-flung planet in the outer reaches of the universe, but it seems so very close to home.
I'm looking forward to the next book.
