The Fray by Phillip Bradbury
The Fray by Phillip Bradbury
Book Summary:
The story is set 2 Centuries in the future, where the world has become a desolate and unforgiving hell of unimaginable horrors. The human population has been decimated by a virus that turns its victims into marauding cannibals. The few survivors that remain exist in only a handful of barricaded settlements that are scattered across the horrific wasteland.
The story follows Sera and Gabriel as they set out on a quest to fulfil a prophecy that could save the future of mankind. But there’s one big problem they must journey through hordes of deranged zombies; the victims of the Destrachan virus if they will have any hope of fulfilling it.
Review:
I have to say when I started reading this book it had a sense of familiarity to it, I couldn’t quite place it at first and it wasn’t until I got further into it that I realised, it wasn’t similar to any one book but to many! And that statement is in no way meant to question the author’s abilities, in fact quite the opposite. He seems to have breathed new life into the familiar, if that makes sense. Reading this book is almost like putting on a pair of your old favourite shoes, only now they seem to fit much better than you remember. I have to give kudos to the author for his ability to turn clichéd themes on their head and make them enthralling.
Conclusion:
I highly recommend The Fray the characters are believable and endearing, the topography is outstandingly realistic, as is the realism of the actions of the besieged settlements.
