I give it 3 stars

My Review

The Fox Run is an action packed post-apocalyptic tale of humanity one hundred years after the third World War. It tells the story of the Family, who have been secluded in the safety of their compound since the nuclear war raged. But the time has come for the family to venture outside their walls to discover what's become of the rest of the world.



This is the first in what I consider a promising series. Yes, some of the characters are a bit cliché, but I enjoyed them anyway. There's a heavy dose of humor along with the more darker aspects of the book, especially from the gun slinging Hickok, who fashions himself a sort of futuristic cowboy. Then there's the more quiet Geronimo, who may very well be the last person of Native American blood left in America. Their leader is Blade, far more serious and stern but not without his lighter side.



I enjoyed this book and would happily suggest it to any fan of the genre.
