Captain Jacob Thomas USMC is a divorced combat veteran just trying to get his life back on track. Returning to the Marine Corps after a failed attempt at reconciliation with his estranged wife, Jake volunteers for a DARPA experiment that catapults him into a future where humanity has been stripped of 200 years of technological advancements and more than half its population. With the help of a faceless benefactor named Alice, he escapes the confines of an abandoned lab facility and starts a journey to put earth back on a path to recovery. Jake's path begins in the rich farmlands of central California and eventually places him in orbit and face to face with the very evil that started it all.

By SCT I don't mean to offend- especially since writing and publishing a book takes a lot of time, energy and bravery. HOWEVER, this was really just so insulting as a female reader. I am not a die hard feminist, prude, or bitter female. I am an educated woman who loves Science Fiction. The female characters in this book are so incredibly pathetic. All of them more busty and beautiful than the next and really are just a bunch of whores. Yeah, yeah, it is mentioned SO MANY times in the book how "attitudes towards sex have changed in the future." How convenient. I have a really hard time with the fact that there are so many more women than men, and all they want to do is screw the main character. No one is grieving the loss of their families, homes, friends. They "play fight" over who gets to have sex with Jake each night and tease each other afterwards. Seriously? It is a joke and I so wish I did not waste my time finishing this book- Unfortunately, I was committed to it.Besides all of that, everything was just so perfect. None of the main characters died, everyone good wins, there's no food, water shortage- Wonderful gourmet meals made by underground future robots...oh yes and the constantly horny young (some underage) females. Like a bad futuristic version of "The Bachelor." I felt like I was reading some story written by one of my puberty ridden, male, high school students.

By HeroFan The Good, The Bad, What The Frak??The good:- I loved the research the writer was willing to do with regards to technology, military and social custom changes. The premise of the book is past dude slept into the far future. Basically a Buck Rogers classic story. And the character has to contend with technological and societal changes of the future. I liked the amount of work the writer put into making his military officer believable and the social norms that have changed over times as well. Without making it so weird and different that we couldn’t relate to the story. This reminds me a lot of Empire From The Ashes by David Weber. In that book the MC discovers ancient ADVANCED tech that gives him an edge over the modern world and he uses it to help his planet overcome an alien threat. And Mr. Lamb evokes that same feeling when I read his novel. Thanks!-the book is written for adults over 18. So be warned. But tastefully done so. Also be warned, though the MC is a gentleman, he is still a man. I liked how the writer can blend the story and backgrounds to make the relationships plausible.The bad:- A few typo at the later chapters. It’s as if the editor, whoever that is, kind of slacked off and missed a few words here and there as it got closer to the end of the book. BUT that didn’t distract me from the enjoyment of the book. (THAT will be the What the Frak part)- The MC had FEW challenges in the first ¾ of the book. Without any major spoilers, that was kind of annoying. 1 man, with a good crew, will still have a TON of challenges to his control and power. Yet..I didn’t get any of that.Now for the What The Frak??:(I will try to avoid spoilers…but…my BIGGEST complaint lies with a major plot point...so be warned.)- If the main villains that devastated the world had a weakness that was so deadly, why didn’t they have shielding against it? I know that if kryptonite is my ONE weakness, if I was nigh invulnerable, I’d be wearing something / anything to prevent or keep kryptonite away. The villains had that one weakness. Yet they didn’t protect themselves from such a weakness. Heck they didn’t even KNOW that they had such a common weakness. Which again is odd, given they are an OLD group of villains. No it was not earth germs, but very close.- The villains didn’t have anti - aircraft missiles. They had missiles for attacking planets and yet for a militaristic villain they didn’t seem prepared for large ship to small ship combat? Wow total disbelief breaker there for me. That was such a huge hole in their ship defenses it cried story logic hole to me.These last two points are why I didn’t give it a 5 star rating. 4 was because it was such an AWESOME start…but left me puttering in the last quarter.If Mr. Lamb can justifiable and logically explain why those to big holes exist, I’ll give him a 5 next time. All the same, I’ll read the next book. Because I am hooked and do want to know.Mr. Lamb: You write. I will keep Kindle Unlimited to read it.

I'm at the point where the girls have informed Jake of 'the arrangements'.The author failed fifth grade English and never took a remedial class. He has no concept of the difference between plural and possessive - and lord help us if the word is both plural and possessive. Affect and effect problems. Author did not use spell- or grammar-check on his word processor, or all the instances of missing commas and dashes would have been eliminated.A story is like a music composition, it has rhythm and meter, pauses and flow. The written word has those same attributes- as if the tribal storyteller is speaking to us around the campfire, thrilling us with another story that takes us out of our mundane surroundings and transports us to other times and places. Puntuation is the breaths taken while he speaks - the dramatic pause before the next revelation in the progressing tale is told.To screw up the punctuation as badly as this and many (most) other e-book authors do, is like hearing the first day of sixth-grade band practice when expecting to hear the London Philharmonic.This work was not proofread, nor is there any evidence it was beta-read or edited in any way. I see a trend in the Kindle books I've read over the past year that indicates the authors are putting their wares on the market for sale in a half-assed ill-prepared manner. We, as buyers, must demand more of an effort from them, or settle for mediocrity in our literary choices - as well as a decline in the care and useage of the English language in the written word. The spoken word is already taking a beating.
