Anomaly (29 page)

For me, the highlight of this novel is the realization of what is truly important in life and how the characters stumble upon this after an old man shows kindness to some bloodied strangers, giving them shelter from a riot. All too often, we look outward for some kind of meaning in life, something to give us meaning, not realizing we already have meaning all around us in the loved ones in our lives.

I hope you have enjoyed this speculative science fiction novel. Please take the time to provide a reader review where you purchased this book or on

Monsters is a dystopian novel set against the backdrop of the collapse of civilization.

The fallout from a passing comet contains a biological pathogen, not a virus or a living organism, just a collection of amino acids, but these cause animals to revert to the age of the mega-fauna, when monsters roamed Earth.

Bruce Dobson is a reader. With the fall of civilization, reading has become outlawed. Superstitions prevail, and readers are persecuted like the witches and wizards of old. Bruce and his son James seek to overturn the prejudices of their day and restore the scientific knowledge central to their survival, but monsters lurk in the dark.
