Extended description

Witness a first-person view of a changed world.

A solitary survivor hides in a mountain above the city, living in a trailer with the door and windows duct-taped shut. Outside, the air is poisoned with a virulent disease that has killed off most humans. Those who lived have become something else. Something that hunts and kills. Survival in this new world comes down to two, simple rules: stay quiet and protect the air. It's an obsessive and regimented life, but one day a visitor comes up the mountain that threatens everything.

Part I of a can't-miss series. Part II out now.

Review by: Eighty Six on Sep. 11, 2011 :
This failed to scare me. I got the feeling of paranoid compulsive-behavior brought on by poisoned air, but the descriptions lacked detail. I never saw the setting. I never saw the beasts. I wanted to get to the end, but it was just the beginning. I'm not sure where this is going.

The run-on sentences and randomly capitalized nouns were also a turn-off.

You might like it more than I did.

Review by: Khaled Benbouzid on Sep. 06, 2011 :
This is like a doom-like game, reader feels he is always watched by the beasts.
Author here, understands the beasts language and their behaviors.

It is really a good read, I enjoyed it, this story is well written with a unique style.
I am impatient to read the next part.

This is taught, suspenseful, well written, claustrophobic and thoughtful...

Review by: Brandy Hunt on May 27, 2011 :
This is the type of post apocalypse story that I love -- what happens in the next generation? And here, Mr. Martinez has managed to give us sympathetic characters with believable problems and impediments.

This is an excellent read, and I certainly wouldn't mind hearing that more might be added to this story line in the future.
