"This is an outstanding series... am waiting with baited breath to get all of the books. An outstanding wordsmith...each page jumps alive as you read. Keep up the great work!" GA "Reading this series has been one of the highlights of my life. As an Aussie who has lived in the Northern Territory, I have such wonderful memories of places and people, so much like those Leo Nix has given the reader. The author has created a truly wonderful story that encompasses all that is good, and bad, in human nature. Beginning with the Apocalypse and following groups of people who gradually come together. There is so much to experience that it's a rush to turn page after page in order to keep up. Desert Strike keeps the momentum going and I laughed, sighed and cried all over again. The dialogue was real as was the war action. Even the fact that it is so often the womenfolk who tend the homefires was realistic. The ending came so suddenly it was a shock, but still perfect for the story. I just hope the next book isn't too long in coming. I dream of maybe a 9 book series, Mr Nix!" KayM
