Cannibal Reign delivers an entertaining read that in my opinion was ruined by the end. The start of the book is a 5 star read with great time and care given in developing both the plot and characters. The reader is immersed into a world that has been devastated by an extinction rated event. Humanity is sent back to the dark ages where survival by any means is the norm.The end of the book however left me feeling very disappointed and cheated. There was so much potential in the endgame of this story but I felt the attention to detail was replaced by the authors desire to wrap it up in one book. The potential of this story to evolve into a great series was extinguished just like life as we know it was in the book. In CANNIBAL REIGN by Thomas Koloniar, the world learns an asteroid is about to end life as we know it. As the United States dissolves into chaos and anarchy, five Green Berets, benefiting from advance knowledge, have prepared, stockpiling food and recruiting a small group of survivors to join them in a refurbished, abandoned missile silo. Meanwhile, in Hawaii, a new nation emerges in the aftermath, one that might give humanity a second chance while the rest of the world succumbs to savagery and cannibalism. It starts off a little choppy, but once it gets going, it’s a fast-paced thriller of a read. The morality issues the author explores are interesting and a little arbitrary–those who eat people to survive are bad guys and should be put down like animals, and those who find a different way to survive are good guys and should be saved. I recommend it to fans of post-apocalyptic fiction as a taut thriller with engaging characters and tons of action.
