In the not so distant future, a plague will ravage America. People will band together to survive, and others will find wicked ways to survive.
There is a lot going on in Seekers. The story changes between current events and the past that led to the fall of America. The back and forth is done quite well. I didn’t have a problem keeping up with the story, never a confusing part of the story.
The diary and journal entries of the future and the story itself gives a fantastic insight into the past and current events. Which also gives us a look at the emotional and physical toll the Red Plague has on people. The pain and turmoil an individual went through and is surviving the plague. When you think about it… it’s a scary possibility.
The story is about a community coming together to keep their little town safe from evil people. The main character, while a hero, also has his inner demons that do play a heavy part in his decisions. Decisions that have dire consequences.
The character development is one of the best I have read. I became invested in the survival of the main characters. Well… there is one person who I can’t relate to. That would be King John. King John is this douche canoe that wants to rule his kingdom with an iron fist. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Andrew, aka Ghost, wants nothing to do with him until John tries to invade the settlement that Ghost is staying at.
Lots of nonstop action. There is deception, betrayal, friendships built, for one character - a coming of age. Religious cults, cannibals, and survivors.
Overall, an enjoyable, fast-paced story. It met all the enjoyable points I have for a dystopian novel. A conclusion that closes perfectly without any cliffhangers. But also keeps the idea of a second book open.
