Reaper and Sandra having come face-to-face with soldiers from Redemption, the new-world government, before are determined to find out what kind of threat they are to haven, "The Federation, and the other communities within the UK. Little do they know that another army, of hooligans, from the North are planning an attack. Can the Blues protect everybody from the last two known uncivilised groups with few death count or is this the end of The Reaper and The Angel of Death.

I didn't find this one as good as the previous two. I'll admit it was good, it was still fast paced, in places, and full of action but it lagged a bit in certain places. It seemed to drag a bit.

I still love the characters although most of my favourites had died. The Angel was as fierce and bad ass as ever. Yank had much more of a role and it was great to finally see more of her personality and development of her character a bit more. The bad guys at Redemption weren't what I was expecting. I was expecting somebody tough and hard core but I was slightly disappointed. Most of them were ultimately cowards, I suspect little man syndrome.

I loved the siege at Redemption. I just love the fast paced action, the gore, the murder, the tactics and strategy. They were outnumbered considerably - they have been in the past and it was obvious they would be again.

I wish the story hadn't lagged and been a bit long winded at times. Having read the first two books I was used to the style of Jon Grahame but even then I was left to guess at times. Some of it was obvious what was to happen. I have to admit I had a chuckle, or two, throughout the book especially when the bad guys were being defeated.

Post-apocalyptic England is getting better but there is still gangs intent on creating more mayhem and warfare. After the deaths of their loved ones and fellow community, Reaper and Sandra, are determined more than ever to help protect "The Federation." They are needed at York where there has been a shift in power and once again somebody is determined to overrun Haven. Can Haven and "The Federation" stop the bad guys before it's too late?

I loved this book. It was a great sequel to "Reaper." It was well-written and like it's prequel was fast paced and full of action.

I can't get enough of Reaper and The Angel - I love Sandra's nickname. They're cold blooded killers but their reasons behind it are honourable. It's life or death and good is always supposed to conquer evil. All of the characters are fantastic - from the evil to the good. I think I have found a place in my heart for the ever eccentric Brother Abraham. In "Reaper" he seems a bit of a freak and possibly with a hidden agenda but that all changes in this book. We learn he really isn't a bad soul. You can't help but think that these characters feel real. If this was actually happening you can imagine that this is what would happen, the people, the atmosphere, it all just fits.

The best part has to be the siege at York. The terror, the death toll, the force, the action, all made for a thoroughly enjoyable read.

This is one of those books where what you think is going to happen isn't. Some of it was maybe predictable. We knew Reaper wasn't going to die but none-the-less it was still enjoyable. There were some well-written emotional scenes. They were sad and you felt their pain.

Like "Reaper" this story definitely grips you and keeps you wanting to find out more.

Jim Reaper is determined to avenge the rape of his 14 year old daughter after finding out the man who committed the act is out after only three years. He's so wrapped up in avenging that he fails to notice the super-SARS virus that is spreading astronomically around him. There's only two kinds of people left - the criminally minded hell bent on doing as they please and the one's hoping to restart civilisation. Can civilisation rebuild itself or is it doomed for extinction?

I didn't hold much hope out for this book there was just something about it's blurb that didn't get me excited, it sounded a bit dull. I was wrong. It was just amazing. It was a well written, exciting, fast paced action thriller that ended up being a page turner that I could not put down.

It's hard to imagine what the world would be like with 98% of the world's population perished, no law and order and every man for himself. Jon Grahame did a superb job with creating the scene and tension of total anarchy.

I loved the characters, they all had their own unique personalities - whether good or bad. Reaper was a fantastic protagonist. He was brave, daring and always in the heart of the action. He didn't think he was worth much but he was looked upon with respect and admiration by his fellow community. I wanted him to find the happiness he deserved. I also loved his right-hand man, Sandra. Her fierce loyalty and devotion was awe-inspiring.

Some parts of the book are moving and even brought a small tear to my eye. There were parts where you were left guessing but after that it was obvious. You knew there was going to be some fast paced action, some blood shed and ultimately death for some. The action scenes were written extremely well, almost to the point where you could have been peering out of a window watching it all before your eyes.
