I liked this book; very clever. Second person narration was different and surprisingly well done. Some readers might find the slow reveals annoying but I like the upwrapping of a story.
Post-apocalyptic sci-fi has been done and over-done but this book takes an interesting twist and it's not as dark as some.

Omnibus Editions of any author's serial fall into one of two categories:
1. AMAZING - This is for those serial collections that have the best of the best writing and that are so freaking engaging that you don't even think about the fact that you have spent literally every available extra minute with your nose buried in its pages.
Or
2. JUST TOO MUCH - (This is the category to which most Omnibus collections fall) - Too much of one story all at once.

ZERO HOUR by Eamon Ambrose falls FIRMLY into the first category. Much to my delight, since this was my first time reading anything by this author, I found myself firmly immersed in this story (the dishes in my sink and my unfinished laundry can attest to the truth of this statement.)

The characters are vivid and realistic. The plot-line is heart-poundingly good. This collection of Eamon Ambrose's serial is engaging and thoroughly entertaining.

All in all I can find absolutely nothing negative to say about ZERO HOUR.

I rate this Omnibus Collection as a firm 5 out of 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book. I am Eamon Ambrose's newest fan.

Brilliant writing. Gripping story telling. I was hooked from the get go. I often read reviews claiming that a book was "unputdownable" and smirk, but this was a genuine case of having to be dragged away from reading and then opening up the book again at the first opportunity.
Thank you Eamon Ambrose. It has been a while since I have read a really good sci-fi novel. Simple and elegant. Higly highly recommended.

I received an ARC ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

5 fast-paced, stars. :)

ZERO HOUR: THE COMPLETE NOVEL is one of those stories that you breeze through it--page after fast-paced page, and zoom! you're done. The narrative feels a bit like WOOL and THE MAZE RUNNER combined, but it stands on its own with unexpected turns and action and crazy-weird stuff.

Overall, an excellent, fast-paced novel with an engaging story without dull moments.

Interesting but not my thing. I need more action, empathetic characters and a better back story
