This
is a forward-looking story about two men, who live a rehearsed existence of
life and death, until one day life took on one less death and everything
changed. Suddenly thrust into a world of horror and blood, a sphere of greed
and gore, these two guys figure it out, not really sure that they want to!
But
with what they’ve learned and what they now know, they can change the future of
the earth. From the Hawaiian Islands to the Black Sea, this story takes you on
a wild bloody ride, complete with impaling!
What are people saying about this book:
“Anoxic
Zone is a fresh, original story that grabs you from the beginning and keeps
your interest throughout.”
“This
is not your average vampire novel. For those of you that are tired of the
Twilight genre turning vampires into sparkly watered down versions of
themselves, this book is for you. I read this in one day, could not put it
down!”
“This
book combines so many different genres that it could please anyone!! The
writing flows easily and makes it an easy read.”
With such great things being said about 'Anoxic Zone,' it is no wonder why author John G. Rees followed it up with:
This book, Halocline, begins as a torturous quest for
survival and independence once again washes up on the shores of Romania. Over a
thousand years ago a war was fought on the sands of the coast. Good did not
win. But the winds of change are blowing and the Roma will have to go through hell
all over again if they are to keep the right to live. Jake must decide whether
to save himself or a people from a fate worse than death. Kismet once again
makes the choice. Who's to say which is the better? The risks are great and the
cost his soul. The battle will be on two fronts with Megacorp and limitless
greed on one side and the malevolence of a madman on the other. As Jake says,
'it's like being between a rock and a rock.' And it would be nice if it were
all that simple. But it is not and Jake will have to confront the evil within
himself when it gets tight if they are to prevail. For Jake this is no small
task. And the odds are overwhelming. A halocline occurs when fresh water mixes
with salt water. A perfect example exists in the Black Sea. The result is a
blurry translucent miasma, which makes it difficult to see things in
perspective. In our novel the halocline phenomena is a metaphor. All is not as
it appears and is ever in flux. Past and present, good and evil, domination and
independence, hatred and love, dreams and reality commingle creating a
halocline of life that is nearly impossible to navigate or ever forget.
I think this says all you need to know about this book:
“Again
John has left me breathless!!! He has woven his magic and given vampires back
their bite! Loved it and really enjoyed it so much! I await more from John, he
is an immensely talented and creative writer.”
“It's
a bloody ride!”
“The
story feels like a real adventure from start to finish. You feel like you've
watched a wild 2 or 3 hour movie by the end and feel satisfied.”
The bloody ride doesn't end there...
Would
Megacorp want
YOU
as a Reuseable??
Are you that valuable?
Within the pages of BLACK TIDE john g rees takes us on a journey
back with this freaquel to anoxic zone and Halocline, back in time to the
beginning for Jake Strom. We meet Jake before his recruitment as a ‘Reuseable’
becomes the only alternative, death everlasting. Megacorp, who controlled most
of this near future world, was taking men like Jake with their knowledge in
their hands and heads. Siphoning off the skills they wanted to keep the planet
running, Megacorp turned the rest of the population into domesticated
consumers; this consumer mentality came at a cost. The virtual world was
scarfing up everyone. No one wanted to be or to do anything anymore, outside
the box that is. We had begun living a virtual existence. Unfortunately all the
apps in the world can’t fix a leaky pipe or a broken ship.
Diver, dope smuggler, junkie, killer on demand and a life that just will not
end. It’s not the way it started or the way he wanted it to be. Things just
kind of worked out that way for Jake.
Hang on for another macabre ride as Jake comes to terms, sort of, with what he
has become while he does the bidding of men whose minds are twisted with greed.
This
about sums it up:
"The
third book in a trilogy, BLACK TIDE... is also a cautionary tale about
what can happen if we don't appreciate and care for the natural world around
us. I highly recommend all three of John G. Rees' books as they bring a
refreshing twist on the standard vampire tale."
All three books are available at:
They are also available at Black Water Books, where you can find more
reviews, learn about author John G. Rees, and even read some of the chapters!
Black Tide is wonderful! I've just read it and I was pleasantly shocked! It's not easy to surprise me in the sphere of horrors, but this book did it!
