Why read it?
1 author picked Total War as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a teenager, I was captivated by this fast-moving romp that didn’t pull any punches. With so many knockdown, drag-out action sequences, I couldn’t help wanting more. The author infused epic storylines with moments of heart-breaking humanity in a dark and dangerous world. This novel made me appreciate storytelling on a grand scale. Even now, it’s still a fun read.
From Justin's list on action-oriented post-apocalyptic stories.
