Terry Matthews on Amazon wrote:I read the first version. I love this story. It kept me wanting to read more even after my eyes got tired. It explained how these people got to living under ground for over 200 years. They only had limited knowledge of the outer world. This about what the went through to survive and how they emerged from the shelter. Facing cave ins and threats of reprisal, a few chose to reach the outside no matter what faced them underground or above. I hated the Mayor, and wasn’t happy with Mike, there has the to bad guys. Wait till you read about their endeavors. It will keep you interested to find the answers if they make it or not. Find out for yourself. Very interesting read and it’s normally not my genre. I would read it again.
Jessica & Matt on Amazon wrote:A great continuation of the story. The characters remain relevant, the old mine continues to deteriorate, and the quest for freedom still burns bright. Another page turning adventure that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I highly recommend this book.
Jasper T. Scott on Amazon wrote:Year of Reckoning is a well captivating book! It really kept me engaged for the whole read. Especially, the illustration of life from the underground survivors after 230 years of an asteroid impact. All of the characters are well introduced and the timeline is intriguing. All of Ms. Gilbert's books are absolutely fantastic and I've been happily sharing them with family and friends, especially my daughter, Rain. Thank you so much for sharing your talents not only with me but the WORLD! Kudos to you, Barbara!!
Angela on Amazon wrote:This book reminded me of Silo by Hugh Howey. Great characters, and the story flowed very well. I couldn't stop turning the pages, waiting to see what would happen next. If you enjoy apocalyptic stories about small groups of survivors rebuilding society from the ground up (with plenty of opposition along the way) then this book is for you.
If you are into apocalyptic stories, this book is definitely for you. This author does a fantastic job with the details and descriptions of all her characters and the scenarios in which happened in the book. I have read her to previous books. Also, the stories never cease to amaze me. The story keeps you very entertained and you don’t wanna put the book down. I look forward to the next one she writes.
