Editorial Review: Product Description: When a plague wipes out most of humanity, fifteen-year-old Eric sets out to find his father. Sixty years later, Eric starts another long journey in an America that has long since quit resembling our own, but there are shadows everywhere. Shadows of what the world once was, and shadows from Eric's past. Blood bandits, wolves, fire, feral children, and an insane militia are only a few of the problems Eric faces. Set in Denver, Colorado and the western foothills, Van Pelt's first novel is both a coming-of-age tale, and a story of an old man's search for hope in the midst of disaster. Eric's two adventures lead him through a slice of modern America and into the depths of one man's heart. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really Good readThis book was good from beginning to end. I also liked how it switched from past to present. Liked the story and the ending. I would read again Rating: - Almost perfect for fans of apocalypse storiesI'm sure many of the folks who read books like this are fans of post-apocalyptic survival, and no doubt we've read a few good ones and a lot of stinkers. James Van Pelt's "Summer of the Apocalypse" is just what I was looking for, and it didn't disappoint. First let me start with a negative -- a very small one. There are a few typos or improper uses of words as if the editing wasn't done well. It was something I noticed, and as I found these entries, my involvement in the story temporarily ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic Post-apoc bookThis is one of the better post-apoc books I have read in some time mostly due to its unique style in connecting two separate stories together. The perspectives of the time between 15 years of age and 75 years of age keeps you interested as soon as you wonder how Eric got to the place he is, the perspective switches to show the past and how he came to be. Overall the story is perhaps a bit out there in the "plague wiped out 99%" but given the recent trends in super viruses its maybe not too far off. ... Read More Rating:  - It was alrightI got into the two stories pretty quickly, but after a while the switching between both stories, after every short chapter, started to get tedious. I enjoyed both stories for most of the book, but eventually one of them just didn't do it for me. I thought it was forced and ridiculous. If you like end times fiction and can get over these two short comings it is an entertaining read. Rating: - excellent eotwawki bookIf you like a well written, well thought out storyline that is post apocalyptic, then you should like this story. I like that the author doesn't feel the need to leave you with warm fuzzies at the end, and it really makes me roll my eyes at the people who complain about the ending. It's the end of the friggin world people, it's not supposed to be happy. I particularly enjoyed the circular details, it was a great touch.
