Rivers, Weak Men and Wolves

by Hunter Letendre

Overview

The world has ended;

In its wake comes a new breed of ferocious, deadly abominations-one of which, barely more than a girl, seems to be going unnoticed.

Over half the population has dropped dead. They litter every sidewalk, home and store. Instantly, explosively eradicated. All on the first anniversary of the discovery of alien life.

Five months into the apocalypse, Jorah Sinclair has done well surviving on her own, though she has grown desperately lonely. Secretive, guilt-ridden and manic, she worms her way into a fellow group of survivors. There, she meets charming, handsome and arrogant Riley; neurotic and grumpy Geoff; and the powerful yet aloof Sana Mangal. To them, Jorah appears weak and innocent-to her they are both salvation and ruin.

Within days of coming together, the group learns that the events that caused the end of the world may not be over. Battles of loyalty plague them while they search for some way to survive-but the clock is ticking.

Meanwhile, there is a darkness hidden inside Jorah that seems to be slowly leaking out.

About the Author

When not traveling or starting new businesses, Letendre likes to indulge in a variety of author stereotypes. Such as living in New Hampshire, enjoying a glass of something strong, and hanging out with her cats. Her debut novel, Rivers, Weak Men and Wolves, will begin a long line of books by Letendre, where the pages slingshot between sarcastic, witty humor, and inevitable doom with intense violence.

Editorial Reviews

"[The Author's] debut novel marries all the right elements for an A+ end-of-the-world plot. There is suspense, flawed characters, mystery, and action. And while she uses the right formula, "Rivers, Weak Men, and Wolves" still brings a fresh narrative that is worth checking out...."

"...[The Author] is not afraid to trample tropes and dodge pitfalls in favor of good suspense and fascinating characters. Her narrative style is forthright and daring, and sometimes she breaks the literary rules we've all come to expect. But she does it with prowess and purpose, and it makes for a great ride.

This book might not be for everyone. Self-proclaimed critics with a bad attitude may give up after a few chapters, bemoaning that the book doesn't play by the old rules. I find that to be its strength. This isn't "The Stand"; it isn't "The Walking Dead." "Rivers, Weak Men and Wolves" is its own style of fiction, and I personally can't wait to see what Letendre will conjure next."

"This was probably the best apocalyptic novel I've read in several years. It is nothing like the other stories in the genre, in the best way possible...

...This novel was truly wonderful and I didn't see any of the plot reveals coming. I guessed at some of them near the end, but second guessed myself. I would absolutely read this again and I'll be buying a hard copy as well to display in my personal library. I gave it 4 stars because I wanted a bit more to the ending and Jorah's story but otherwise, it was excellent... "
