Blood Honor

The Day After Never Series, Book 1

By: Russell Blake

Narrated by: John David Farrell

They said it could never happen - that the day would never come.

They were wrong.

Five years post-collapse, former Texas Ranger Lucas Shaw is surviving hardscrabble in a kill-or-be-killed wasteland. When an enigmatic young woman enters his life with a desperate plea, Lucas must face impossible odds and battle an adversary who will stop at nothing to destroy them. Lightning-paced and gritty, Blood Honor, the debut novel in The Day after Never trilogy, is a non-stop adrenaline rush set in a chillingly plausible dystopian future.

An adult novel not rated R

Russell Blake writes adult novels that are comprehensive, interesting, and intriguing. No bad language or sex. It's a new spin on dystopian.

a well advanced story no waiting around for action

i enjoyed the first book and am looking forward to seeing how the next ones shape up

3.5 stars

It is a story that is too familiar so it didn't keep my interest. Not sure if I will read the sequel. It ends where you kind of have to if you want to see how it all turns out.

A Great New Adventure

Pleasantly surprised to find a new post-apocalyptic story with a host of entertaining characters and varying story lines. I hope the wait isn't too long for the next book?

PANDEMIC!!

This book is so close to present times. It is awesome to see what happens when civilization declines. I've read this entire series twice and I'm now listening to it. Highly recommend it!

great listen

love Lucas but hard to take the female character. the narrator is good... already ordered the second book

Entertaining but not informative.

I struggled a little with the narrator...one of his voices sounded like Batman. Decent story line but very predictable. If your looking for a story laced with learning tools...look somewhere else.

Entertaining Read

I have listened to both books in this series and I must say they are probably my favorite of all post apocalyptic novels I've read. It's almost like Clint Eastwood meets mad max. What's different about these stories is the fact that they are not heavy in the bible banging or the preaching to buy silver and gold. But they are heavy on action and story line. I loved that, as I have grown weary of the former. They read like a western but better. I love Lamore, so this was right up my alley. I would strongly urge those of you who love post A novels but are sick of the religious overtones to read it. Patterson bores me half to death. But I suffered through them because I never give up. Now, don't get me wrong, I am religious. I just don't need the nonstop chatter about JC. I crave action and man this is packed with it. The narrator is excellent and brings the story to life. Far far better than some others who have strange intonation and speaking habits. Great range of voices. Just excellent. I am disappointed that I have to wait for book three. But hopefully I will get to hear it soon. Great book to sit out side in a hammock witch a beer, chill, close your eyes and let the story unfold.

Good character bad story line

Another author who must kill everyone around the main character. When you kill all the good guys there is no hope for the main character.

Simply the best in the genre!

Would you consider the audio edition of Blood Honor to be better than the print version?

these books are fantastic!
excellent adventures with great writing and narration.
if you like end of the world fiction this is for you.
