Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)that would make even Ruggero Deodato nauseas.
What would happen if 6,000 years of human evolution reversed themselves in the blink of an eye? Thats the interesting premise in this novel from the always interesting mind of Tim Curran. This book kicks like a mule from almost page 1 and doesn't let go to the end. As an aside, that's what I enjoy about this novel, as well as Curran's Biohazard and Resurrection (which I'm currently reading), he doesn't futz around and pushes you immediately into the thick of things; he knows he has a cool premise and runs with it.His novels instantly grab you and have you compulsively turning the pages long into the night.
The book is amazingly savage (pun intended). This is possibly the most graphically and realistically violent novel I've ever read. Not a limb or innard goes unmolested or uneviscerated. If you can bear the literally unrelenting brutality on display here you'll find an incredibly interesting work about the nature of humanity and how we're really not as far from the animals as we like to think we are. It's a truly entertaining and original take on the apocalypse. I don't know how Mr. Curran does it but I've loved everything I've read by him and kudos to Severed Press for publishing such an utterly awesome writer.
