Description

-- Quarterfinalist, 2018 Cinematic Book Competition, BooksGoSocial Gold Quality Mark, 4-Stars from The International Review of Books, BooksGoSocial Shortlisted for Book of the Year 2018 & Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review

Fans of Hugh Howey and Cormac McCarthy will find themselves at home with Ward.

Up The River? Or Down In The Dirt?

Summary Execution has become the preferred fate in a place where even angels fear to tread. Those unwise who elected for prison or are deemed unworthy of a quick death are condemned to The Ward, the former capital-city-converted-city-prison of Sacramento, California.

Among the Grim Reapers coming in the forms of smiling rib cages and riding out the eleventh-hour, cannibal-afflicted Vikings, a Roman-inspired death cult, and a paranoid Mafia Syndicate, wage an ever cascading campaign of annihilation against one another.

It is in this war-ravaged tomb, where the Angel of Death and Tango Primary Five are destined to meet.

With darker forces at play seeking to destroy any last hope of salvation, Tango Primary Five and the Angel of Death are left with no alternative: Unite The Ward... or choose a side.

Prepare to enter a dystopian world where mental illness waits in the darkness to have a real conversation with you.

The Ward is a book of a future Sacramento, California where it has become a prison that is constantly at war. There are several groups hoping to be the one to rule the ward. The people that go to the ward are those who are given a choice of execution or going to the ward. The world is covered with ash. It is dangerous to stay out as breathing it in will eventually kill you. For the people to survive in this prison, they must come together and be “one.”

It is an action-packed dystopian thriller. It grabbed my attention but at time I became confused in understanding what was happening in the story. In the background of this novel is the theme of mental illness. It is a darkness in this novel that brings one aware of the struggle of mental illness. It is discrete in the novel but I did become aware of it. It is a different dystopian novel to read which makes it worthy to read. Do read it!

Eerie, and original tale that is sure to stand out from the crowd . With unnerving and spine-chilling scenes that will haunt the reader long after the pages are closed..

This is the first book I have read from this author and was pleasantly surprised. The setting is a future California and it is done in a way that is believable. Great story.
