Homeless eBook Nicolas Wilson

Absolutely loved this. The world was fascinating, and one of the more original versions of a dystopian USA that I've ever read. I don't want to give too much away, but the sheer level of detail in creating "Runners" and "Breakers" as new professions that would come out of the realities of this world, the fact that the buildings and uninhabitable (and why!!) I thought was completely brilliant. The military background, details on guns, the skill sets displayed with munitions...it all totally worked for me and made the entire world believable, even though I still have HUGE questions about the actual start of this epidemic and how that would have unfolded, (in fact I really hope he is going to write more in this world, because I would love to have these questions answered).

The characters really made it though - I pretty much loved all of them, and found them really well done. The helicopter mom who now runs a colony of survivors was a nice touch (ha), and the two main characters were great and had amazing chemistry together, too.

Like I said, just hoping he writes more in this world...would love to see more adventures with these characters!

My only complaint was that I picked this up when I was really busy and couldn't put the danged thing down until I'd finished it. Not exactly a "complaint" if you know what I mean. : )

Homeless eBook Nicolas Wilson Reviews

This review is courtesy of topoftheheapreviews(dot)com

The premise behind Homeless is pretty intriguing and it sounds like a great setup for some terrifying interactions. These creatures nest inside in dark places and kill anyone they come into contact with, so the people have been pushed out doors, being forced to deal with the elements and each other with no place to hide.

Each person sort of has their station in life, the wall-bangers are able to go and crack open a building, erraditcating the creatures so that they are safe to be looted for supplies. The shadow runners go in and are incredibly fast able to out-maneuver the creatures. This book centers around a wall-banger and a shadow-runner.

The premise like I said was one of originality and is what drew me into wanting to read this tale. The problem is that the book is really too short. It’s not that I was left wanting more at the end as far as the story goes, but I wanted more explanation and detail in the world. I wanted to know more about the creatures and I wanted to know what happened before the creatures came, why they were there, etc.

There is so much that could have been capitalized on in this, that I felt that there was too much missing to make this an engaging read.

One of my biggest complaints is the dialogue. It seemed that all of America (or, this little slice of it anyway) seemed to regress into language of the 1800′s old west. It was hard to grasp there. Also the whole thing about the tents were only sort of explained. They have to be taken down and set back up so that the creatures can’t find a place to nest during the day, but what happens during the night? Do they just not come out and hunt when it’s night time and there is no sunlight?

The characters themselves weren’t that bad, and the action in the book was well described and you could easily feel the tension surrounding the characters, so that is what really propelled me forward in finishing this.

It’s only 147 pages, so it needed something for the reader to grasp. The characters did that.

The Bottom Line Until the world gets fleshed out some more, I can’t really recommend the book. It’s just not as fleshed out as it needs to be and I feel the reader is missing a lot of what makes the world so horrific. It’s not poorly written, but there is so much more that could have happened here. I may be plagued with the fact that I wanted more, or expected something different than what I got, but the world for this one is a tough sell for me.
I have to say I enjoyed this book. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because it started a little slowly for me. The concept was good, the explaining of what a wall banger and a shadow runner are could have been done a little earlier in the book but overall good story line with likable characters.
"It's a new world we're living in, one where we make the rules as we go along. And we can either forge a world where the needy find help, or one where the bastards have made us all so cynical we let our neighbors freeze to death for want of a moment's kindness."

It starts with a skittering sound in the attic. The sound can be dismissed, attributed to little rodent feet scurrying through the rafters. Then an insistent buzz, like insect wings, fills the air. Next, blood is leaking, bleeding out, with a loss of pressure. Call the police. But there's no answer. And then the screaming fills the air, from houses all around.

Nicolas Wilson, author of the humorous Bankster and the dark fantasy thriller Necromancer’s Gambit, demonstrates his imagination and versatility once again with Homeless. This unique murder mystery is set in a post-apocalyptic world. With his mastery of the language and his genius for description, Mr. Wilson spins a terrifying tale.
