Pandemic Dawn Book II:

Rise of the State

"He looked up into the eyes of his enemy once more. The debris and rocks cut into his joints as his elbows and knees buried themselves into the sun-scorched earth. He slid further this time, and the pain was much more intense. With every breath, dust filled his mouth and the sand clicked between his teeth as he clenched them together from the pain. He heard a voice inside himself cry out “Stand up!” and he immediately obeyed. His enemy stood firm casting a shadow that nearly reached where the boy had lain just moments before.

“Now stay down and shut up boy, or I’ll gut you like a sewer rat!” The man had obviously reached his limit and meant every word he screamed. Spit flew from his mouth as he swore, his grimacing face revealing the filth that had collected on his stained teeth from years of neglect."

B.A. Shields is an incredible writer. His first book that I read was Pandemic Dawn the first in a series with Rise of the State, I typically would never read books like these, BUT he is a wonderful writer that can draw you into the story in the very first few lines of these two great reads....... I thought the first was good, second is even better now the wait for the third begins,, once you pick these books up it only takes a short time to read them. Cant wait for the next, I hope they keep coming for a long time,,, Valerie Ornatowski ~ VAO
