About this ebook
Following a nuclear holocaust, Nathan Taylor and his family face grim choices in order to stay alive. Fleeing deadly radiation, plague and desperate men, Nathan, an army officer, leads his wife and their two teenage sons away from chaos and madness toward his ancestral home in Kentucky.
Horrors lie in their path. From the prison struggling to maintain control of its inmates, to the desperadoes who enslave anyone who comes their way, even survival may cost Nathan his humanity...or that of his sons, Joshua and David. Nathan struggles to keep his family intact, but it requires making brutal choices. He wants to protect his sons, but knows they now must be deadly and cold at times.
Nathan's home has been spared from the worst of the destruction, but a larger conflict over scarce resources erupts. For the survivors to have any chance they will have to fight and the desperate journey has transformed young Joshua and David into men called upon to lead and sacrifice. Torn between harsh realities, and wanting to hold onto fleeting childhoods, they are often conflicted and angry about the roles thrust upon them. Much will depend on how Nathan and his sons respond to a madman and his military regime seeking to conquer the fledgling community they are helping to build.
GLIMMER OF HOPE is an epic tale of one family's endurance and triumph after tomorrow's apocalypse.

This book is well written. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading the sequel. You can tell the author spent some time perfecting it. I was surprised to find that he knows and had David VanDyke review it. I just want to say that the hard work that went into it shows and was well worth it. I would only give 5 stars to a world class novel. In my book 4 out of 5 is very good.

For boys Only. 5 female characters, only 3 of whom even rate a name, the first 2 shot after an extremely brief description. The other 3 are barely sketched in. While the premise is interesting the effort of reading was not rewarded and I felt Very little attachment to any of the 2 dimensional characters.
