After: The Shock / Scott Nicholson / 171 pages

Book one in the After Series, a post-apocalyptic thriller
It's August.  The setting is North Carolina.  July was the Old Days.  Everything has changed.  They called it the Big Zap and the neurologically altered humans are called Zapheads.  The animals who survived the cataclysm appear to be unaffected, but a sizable portion of the surviving human population have turned into rage-filled murderers.  The reader views the devastation through the eyes of the normal survivors.  There are several different groups dovetailing to a secret survival complex in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Unfortunately, the reader is left hanging in suspense at the end of book one.  The plot lacks resolution.  Perhaps it can be found in book two...
