~~"I Am Nehemia"~~
By USN Chief, Ret..VT Town
The H1N1 flu strain creates a pandemic much like the Spanish Flu of 1918. There is uncontrolled hemorrhaging that creates death as quickly as two days. The year is 2015 and by the summer of that year, services normally provided to the citizens are disappearing. The setting is in Waltham, MA, and a small group of survivors has banded together. They all decide to leave except for one, Walter Johnson. As luck(?) would have it, he rescues a young lady from rape. He is rewarded by being allowed to join the Bay State Alliance as her uncle, Pat, is the leader. While working there he meets Glenn Bradshaw and becomes friends with him.
The Bay State Alliance is trying to usurp as much territory around Waltham as humanely possible. Gang wars, killings of innocent civilians and graft are common in this area. Well, an interesting development occurs with Walter and this is when the story really gets going. "I am Nehemiah" is a code word that must be used to gain access to a vault. Let it suffice to say that this vault is paramount to the history of the New American Confederation (NAC). The Maine Republic also has a starring role!
The characters in this story have some interesting twists and turns. Kathryn Donahue goes through the maturation process and her older self is more likable. Not the same can be said about Glenn Bradshaw, however. Chung-Hee and his daughter are an integral part of the glue that holds Walt together.
Loved the ending when our troops "come marching home". An interesting mix of characters, a plot that is tightly woven and a superb read for me. Lots of intrigue and action on multiple fronts create a novel that is most interesting. Of course, the Boston references are excellent for me as I am from Vermont.
Most highly recommended. Will check out other novels by this author.

Walt said it himself near the end that it either brought the best or the worst out of everyone
By Juliann

*I won this in a giveaway on LibraryThing.
This book is more then just a post apocalyptic tale, as it delves deeper into how we -humans- would deal in situations as the characters went through. So yeah, sure, the story started with a flu and millions of deaths, however that is not what ended their world as they knew it. What did, was their selfishness, their lack of preparation and knowledge of how to live without electricity and food and water, and how they resorted to violence. Walt said it himself near the end that it either brought the best or the worst out of everyone, and although it seemed that the bad outweighed the good he was glad there were still people who had the best brought out of them.
Each character was different, but at the same time I do have to agree it was hard to distinguish who was who at times. Smitty, as Walt described him, was a harsh guy who only tolerated people he thought were okay, and yet throughout the book he seemed just like Glenn, who was -near the beginning- Walt's best friend and a guy who seemed genuine and thankful before power got to him and messed with his head. Chung-Hee was a guy who listened well and gave advice from time to time and one who strongly believed in God, yet even so I didn't feel much emotion from him; more so then Smitty and Glenn, yeah, but not enough to make me able to connect with him. Walt himself was alright, I actually really like his character, as he pretty much blocked himself from all the bad in the world and lived in his own little bubble until he came across Joseph Paladin. From then on you see more from him, and it got better.
It was well written, though, and the flow was fantastic. I liked the action that was introduced at times too. My favourite part though, I have to say would be whilst Walt and Kathryn are out in the woods trying to get to Maine. They are hungry and dirty and afraid and haven't been clean for days and Walt begins to think what many of us have probably thought from time to time: how is it that in movies the characters in situations like his own find the time to fall in love? Walt himself thinks about the stench and the urgency of the mission and the fear of being caught, and can't seem to find where love falls into place. He says that the stench is so awful that he can't be bothered to think about making love with Kathryn; he barely finds her physically appealing with all the filth and grime and stench on her. I just like that part because it shows neither of them are perfect or unrealistic during their journey, and it feels like you can reach out and they'll be there, because you've connected.
So really, I enjoyed this book. I did. The fast pace and many situations in the book definitely pulled me in and kept me interested until the end, and it wasn't overly predictable or unrealistic and I was definitively intrigued while I read. I just would rather the characters be a little more distinct from the other.

A THRILLER IN A POST-PANDEMIC-APOCALYPIC WORLD
By T. L. Needham, Author
Paladin's Odyssey is a post-pandemic-apocalyptic tale that opens in August 2059 with a confession by Joseph E. Paladin, former major in the United States Army, retired colonel in the Maine Republic Militia, and one of the founders of the New American Confederation. Paladin reveals in opening his memoir that his true identity is Walter Johnson.
Walter Johnson is one of the very few to survive a global flu pandemic that takes the lives of millions around the world. What remains is a world we have all imagined, and dreaded, a desperate and primitive new world where survival has become the only imperative and vicious predators create a climate of fear. It is a dark, dangerous, and seemingly hopeless new world.
Walt is the unlikeliest of heroes, a quiet, low profile, reticent man, but as he faces this terrible new world, he is drawn by destiny and circumstances to a life of extraordinary heroism.
The story opens quietly, just the way Walt likes things, but his world soon erupts in lies and deceptions and violence, and Walt is forced to emerge from his shell and join the struggle against evil.
As Walt tells is story, a woman from his past named Veronica becomes an intriguing character. All we know about her is that Walt's mistrust of women seems to stem from her. He tells us early on, “The truth was, I couldn’t find a woman I could trust.” Then he adds later, “Trying to start a relationship with any woman I met during that time would’ve been Veronica all over again, but worse.”
This was my first clue that Walt, ironically, resembles Walter Mitty, James Thurber's uncommonly ordinary, usually ineffectual, and hapless dreamer of personal triumphs. However, this Walt does not dream of personal triumphs, he avoids them, along with women. He is content to be withdrawn, keep his head down, and hide. It is this aspect of Walt that kept me turning the pages to see how in the world he becomes the honored, revered, and famous savior of the Confederation—Major Joseph E. Paladin.
The author has done a wonderful job creating a suspenseful tale of a post-pandemic-apocalyptic world. His characters are well drawn and authentic and define the desperate world in which they live. I highly recommend this book.
