Strange how things change. How a little house, a dog, and a total stranger worked their way into my heart and soul when I didn't think I had either of those things left anymore. I thought I was too old for all of it, certainly too old to care much for my own wellbeing. But the others? Having them around changed my outlook, made me protective.\u003cb\u003eWhen new dangers appeared, having friends made me truly understand one thing: fear.\u003c\/b\u003e-----\u003cb\u003eA best seller in Post Apocalyptic fiction!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPR review: 5 stars\u003c\/b\u003e \"While a book about outcasts banding together may seem as overdone a trope as zombie fiction itself, once again I have to assure anyone reading this that the author, Keith Soares, is in all ways a step above those expectations in his ideas and his execution... I don't recommend reading this book; I recommend reading every book this author publishes, as I have no doubt he will continue raising the bar.\"\u003cb\u003eIndieReader review: 4.5 stars\u003c\/b\u003e \"Soares paints a frightening, realistic picture of life in a post-apocalyptic world... It's refreshing to read a book in this vein that allows the reader to explore a protagonist's anguish without relying on a flat, twenty-something hero.\"\"This book should come with a warning: You will not be going anywhere for a while once you read the first chapter.\"\"'The Hopeless Pastures' is a worthy sequel to 'The Oasis of Filth' - a story that stands on its own, but also expertly sets up the final chapter to this compelling series.\"\"Boy does the author deliver. The dramatic arcs of the story are like riding a great rollercoaster.\"\"Soares does a masterful job of making the situations and outcomes seem eerily plausible, which heightens the creepiness factor and suspense immensely for me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy day, Keith Soares runs an interactive game, web, and app development agency. But by night, his imagination runs wild. A fan of classic authors such as Stephen King, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and newer writers like Justin Cronin, Hugh Howey, and Andy Weir, Keith writes stories of science fiction, the apocalypse, fantasy, revenge, and horror. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife and two daughters, who are all avid readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234037838045,"sku":"9780989948340","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/itbv1jn4UG9780989948340.webp?v=1784821191","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-oasis-of-filth-part-2-the-hopeless-pastures-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
