1REBOOT 1 saw Keryl Shaw struggling to cope alone after her twin brother, Lander, leaves. A mysterious virus has wiped out most of the population, and those that remain are hopeless and lawless. Lander looks for answers, and as he does he meets both the best and the worst of humanity. He is tested to the limit, and when he returns home and discovers that his twin sister has been the victim of a sinister experiment, the stakes become even higher. Confronting those responsible will be a difficult and risky task, and the choice he has to make will have far-reaching consequences for everyone involved.

Review

"What an adventure! ... all brought together perfectly - really fascinating!"

"This is a journey and a pilgrimage, with plenty of excitement on the way. Lander meets some strange people, and nothing turns out the way he thought it would. Expect the unexpected in this fast-paced thriller!"

"At last we find out what happened to Lander after he left his twin sister, Kerryl! This twisting, exciting sequel to Paradise Girl unravels the mystery at the centre of their lives, and the choices Lander must make in order to uncover a sinister plot."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Phill alternates between writing, drinking coffee, and playing the saxaphone (badly) - not always in that order. He lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England with Sally, his wife and partner of more years than they can count.

Phill is the award winning author of a number of novels and short stories.

'Paradise Girl', Book 1 of Phill's REBOOT trilogy, is set in the northern hills where, amidst the majestic beauty of the rolling moors, a world pandemic consigns a lone young woman to a bleak future. In Book 2, 'Aftershocks', her twin brother sets out to discover the truth behind the infection. REBOOT concludes with 'Jericho Rose'. By now the pandemic is over and it's time to rebuild. However, there are a selfish few who seek to exploit the situation for their own ends and this risks losing the little that's left.

Phill's fourth novel, 'The God Jar', is a tale of magic and mystery which straddles 16th century Europe and 20th century England. John Dee, Elizabethan sorcerer and mystic, finds a jar which he discovers has supernatural powers. 400 years later it resurfaces when a pair of honeymooners come across it on a diving trip. But have they found the jar or has it found them?

In 'What Dreams We Had!' a group of young people are offered a fantastic holiday in Italy, but once there they are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about who they are and what's important to them, and to wonder whether anything they thought was real actually is.

In 'I Know What You're Thinking' a pair of teenagers share the ability to see into each other's mind. When one of them is kidnapped the other must use this gift to find them, but nothing is easy in this taut thriller.

The Leopard's Bane series consists of 3 titles which tell the story of a family feud and a struggle between two brothers, one bent on selfish advancement and the other seeking to correct a corrupt society.

'Butterflies' is the tale of a girl from a sheltered background and her trials in attempting to come to terms with the world.

Phill has also written a book of short stories, 'Undiscovered Countries' which is free to subscribers to his his email newsletter. Details are on his website.

Phill is a member of The Society of Authors, The Alliance of Independent Authors, Promoting Yorkshire Authors, Sheffield Authors, and The British Library.

    Aftershocks Kindle Edition
    by Phill Featherstone
    I received a complimentary review copy via Booksirens and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    It should be noted that I also received a review copy for the prior book, Paradise Girl, in this duology and also left a review. The two books cover the same event, the Infection, that kills a large portion of the world and England specifically. Where Paradise Girl was about Kerryl and her time on her family's farm during and after the Infection, Aftershocks is about the travels of her brother, Lander (nickname for Alexander) during and after the same period. This expanded our understanding of what happened, how it happened and the responses of regular people and the government. Unlike many mass extinction apocalyptic novels, Aftershocks is a far more personal story. We are never thrown into the many thousand page exploration of good versus evil on a global scale, yes, The Stand, I'm talking about you. Aftershocks deals with what Lander as a person must endure as society breaks down. Lander travels through much of the English countryside, via foot, car, horse and boat. What he discovers about his fellow humans is a bit depressing, but well written with a sense of hope surrounding everything that Lander does.

    The writing is a third person centered on Lander. This allows us to focus on his growth, loss and discoveries. We also see why he left home when the Infection seemed to have affected him. It also allows us to experience the horrors and joys he experiences and understand his various decisions. He tries so hard to be the person he was raised to be when the world is going mad.

    The other characters are opaque to us as much as they are for Lander, and we never know who to trust and who to hate. And no one fits into a single category except a truly bonkers captor and his wife. This allows the tension to ratchet.

    The story is believable, completely so. There is no plot armor or magical person that saves the world.

    For a Yank, I found a lot of the Brit-Speak quaint if confusing! I've also added a few choice words to my vocabulary for future use!

    It should be noted that the books can be read alone or together.

    A grim story with excellent characters.

    4 ½ stars out of 5 rounded up.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Viral disaster.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019
    I received a free copy of this book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

    A virus kills everyone. Sound familiar? It is. But not this version of the event. This book grabbed me from the start. In fact, I read late into the night and found the book beside me in the morning. The characters are strong, well developed and I found myself invested in them from the very beginning. I wanted to reach into the story and help them out. Lander, the young grandson of a very likable elderly couple, and the brother of a twin sister, has discovered that he might cause harm to his family if he remains with them after his mother has succumbed to the deadly virus. Lander and his sister Kerryl are immune to the disease but there seems to be some side effects that cause severe mental problems. Lander decides it would be best for his family if he left and sought out a group that held out promises of help with the after shocks of surviving the virus.

    Lander’s journey is filled with terrifying situations as he attempts to reach the city of hope. He is caught traveling after the population was ordered to remain in place, thrown in jail, held for trial and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. And that is just the beginning of his trials.

    Mr. Featherstone’s world building and character building are filled with fascinating places, interesting people, and written with an easy cadence that takes you through Lander’s adventures with a comfortable pace, but intense desire to know what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will most assuredly read the first book of the series, which I had not read. It is not necessary to read the first book to understand this second book. However, it is that good, that I intend to read the first one. Don’t miss out on this exciting tale.

    This is an interesting story that sees the main male character, Lander go through a lot of different and often difficult trials during his journey to attempt to find out what has happened to him and his twin sister. There are a lot of twists and turns, some likable characters and some not so likable ones. The journey moves along at a steady pace and easily held my attention. I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more from this author. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Paradise Girl gripped me from the start with the plot and twists and Aftershocks delivered again. Seemlessly fitting into place the missing pieces of the jigsaw, as only an excellent drama can. Could not put the books down and eagerly await the next instalment! Thank you Phill
