snugglekittyTitle: The Protector's War
Author: SM Stirling
Series: The Change, book 2
Genre: Postapocalyptic fiction.
Reason for Reading: Loved the first book, Dies the Fire.
Pages: 591
Copyright Date: 2006
Cover: A young man stands on top of a ruined car, holding a bow in his right hand. A quiver of arrows is on his back.
First line: I've been here before, John Hordle suddenly realized, his thumb moving over the leather that covered the grip of his bow.
Best part: Really engrossing.
Worst part: Reading two of these novels in a short period of time makes you feel a bit paranoid about the end of the world.
Imaginary Theme Song: "Tangled Up in Blue"
Grade: B
Recommended for: Those who have read the first book.
Related Reads: Dies the Fire by SM Stirling, March Upcountry by John Ringo and David Weber.
These books are like crack. Apparently there are going to be at least five in the series - yikes! By the end I'll have hard copies of watermill blueprints in my house, or be raising my own goats, or something.

Date: 2009-10-12 08:34 pm (UTC)I'm with you on the paranoia: I've already planned out the first 72 hours after the change, how I'll obtain a bike and rescue my parents and try to get to the mountains. I've thought it out in a lot of detail, depending on the time of day and whether I'm at work or at home or on the train when the change hits.
I was glad Junie finally found someone nice in this book.
