Earth Abides Book Review Novels & Stories

The mountains were a dark blue that went on endlessly for miles and miles. "Another Dimension.." The 1st Emperor mumbled. The other Kings and Queens murmuring amongst themselves. "..to flee." "Yes. A temporary place while the Mainland deals with what they unleashed. They believe they can control the residents of the Dead Palace.." Ren said calmly. ".. they are wrong. Only one in the Ascendance Realm can control them completely. A few Transdecence do not stand a chance controlling so many. They will come in unending numbers and cross you if you stay. Your soul will never know peace. I can assure you of that."

In slow sensual movements, we edge our way towards a rapturous crescendo as the sunlight crests the buildings of the city outside and steams through my windows, then we fall asleep in a satiated tangle of limbs. I wake up to a loud buzzing and check the camera. It’s that special detective who handles BPD’s supernatural cases, Tabitha. I press the intercom button. “I’ll be down in a moment. I’m just waking up,” I tell her, honestly. Looking at my mates in the sleepy haze as they both stir. They are so beautiful, the pair of them. Now, if I can just get past my mistrust of wolves so that the other two can join us, we will be a perfect, albeit non-traditional family.

It smelled of salt and something metallic. I reached out and touched the ridge of the thumb. It wasn't made of ink. It was soft. It was warm. It was **Alive**. "I see you," I whispered. Suddenly, the world began to shake. Not a "Scripted Earthquake," but the shaking of a book being dropped. The white sky turned into a blur of colors—a bedroom, a desk, a window with rain on it. I saw a giant face, blurred and distorted by the perspective, staring down at us with wide, terrified eyes.

"Caleb! Wake up! You don't get to leave me here with this—this garbage!" "He’s a casualty of progress." Abigail’s reflection in the glass was a ghost. "The world is screaming, Ethan. Listen." I stopped. I tilted my head. Below us, the city wasn't human anymore. The sound of traffic had been replaced by a million overlapping roars. High-pitched screams of bone snapping. The wet sound of flesh tearing. The atmosphere hummed with the lingering frequency of the activation. It tasted like copper and ozone. "Five million predators just woke up in Manhattan," Abigail said. "And you’re the only one who can lead them."

Cindy held it out and nodded for me to take it. "What is this?" I asked, feeling hesitant. Creepy or weird didn't adequately describe the tome. Bizarre was close. I n the center of the cover was an eye. It looked real, like a lizard's. A scaly face in a combination of violets and reds surrounded the eye. It blinked then seemed to focus on me. "Can the eye see me?" Cindy laughed. "Probably. The book is known as the Eye of Abernathy, the first and most powerful dragon ever to have lived on Earth."

I let out a squeak of surprise when I open my bedroom door and Abaddon is there, sitting at my desk. "You what? Sera? Why did you stop talking? What happened?" I can practically see my mother getting ready to sprint home and rescue me. "Nothing, sorry, Tabitha again. I'm ok, I'm going to go to bed early. Night, Mum." I tell her, stepping inside my room and locking the door, making it feel very small with Abaddon in there with me. He mouths hi at me, standing and crossing the room until we're in touching distance.

Abbadon turned her back and entered the portal, followed by Ezekiel. Abbadon was thrilled to see her armies were spilling out of the portals she had opened in the sixth realm. They ranged from the undead in the Underworld to the hideous monsters of damnation. The sickening smell of spoiled cadavers and dried blood polluted the air of the sixth realm while the desolated desert became a temporary habitat for her armies. The scorching sun of the late morning was nothing contrasted with the burning fire in hellfire. To her, this was one more day in heaven—her heaven. Abbadon sat on the throne seat arranged by her Knights of Death as she watched Ezekiel and his dependable adherents assemble every

he said as he picked up a book. " Now is that anyway to treat your bro " " Not now God I'm not in the mood " he said as he opened the book and slowly read the prologue. " oh come on you've been staring at those worlds for thousands of years come play with your bro I know you're bored ." A being made of bright light seemed to year a whole in the space and enter into it as the tear closed behind it though it was strange one could feel it was smiling, but the other being just looked at it and turned away.

Hi If anyone is waiting for updates on this book - they will happen, but I have some plans for this book, and this is the second story of the series - Rain and Ashes. I am currently working on the first story, and then I will get back to this one - in a few weeks.
