FALLOUT: A Post-Apocalyptic Novel Kindle Edition

by Harmony Kent (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 16 ratings
IndieBRAG Medallion Honouree

WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS APART, WHAT CAN YOU DO?

The year is 3040.

The location is Exxon 1, part of a six-planet system in settled space.

Determined to avoid the mistakes of old Earth, the surviving humans avoided democracy and opted, instead, for a non-elective totalitarian system.

The new way worked well, until now.

A crazy, despotic president releases a nano-virus on the population.

No one was ready for the fallout. It came anyway.

In this post-apocalyptic world, can you stay safe?

Praise for FALLOUT:

'If you like dark, dangerous, and a little bit demented, this is the novel for you.' ... Staci Troilo

'Fallout by Harmony Kent is a dark, gritty, twisted apocalyptic story guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.'... Mae Clair

    5.0 out of 5 stars A face pasted dystopian novel with strong female characters
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Fallout is a dystopian novel which reflects a future world where technology has become such an integral part of society and human life that people rely on implants to advise them on every aspect of their daily life from judging human nature to security to undertaking work tasks. People work and live in zones together with others who have similar jobs, lifestyles and capabilities to their own.

    When a disruption, on the form of a virus, impacts on the smooth routine of peoples lives, they find themselves struggling to pick up the pieces without the continuous flow of information from their implants. Only those who can get their wits together quickly can survive in the new lawless society. In addition, avoidance of contamination by the virus is also a necessary requirement for survival and that makes life even more complex, especially for the unwary who are conditioned by their past lifestyles.

    We first meet Priya wondering around an unknown zone, having fled her own when it becomes impossible for her to continue to live in her apartment in the aftermath of the societal breakdown caused by the virus. Priya falls prey to an unscrupulous band of infected men who violently abuse her and leave her for dead. She is found by a member of the ruling political party's military personal who is on a quest to find an antidote to the virus. Despite his reservations, Kaleb is compelled to save Priya and, by doing so, changes the course of his life and the search he is conducting. The antidote is believed to have been in the possession of a female scientist, on the wife of the second in command to the president, when her helipad exploded, purportedly killing her and losing the only vial containing the antidote at the same time.

    On Exxon 1, the planet where the virus is raging out of control, nothing is as it seems as the power hungry and malevolent president seems to have plans of his own which none of his leadership are aware of.

    I enjoyed Priya's journey from a naive and ill informed woman with no survival skills into a strong woman with great empathy and excellent leadership skills. Kaleb is a dark and brooding character with a painful background and a lot of inner turmoil. His path in the book is not an easy one and is heart rending to watch unfurl.

    The other supporting characters in the book are well described and interesting. The growth in the female characters makes for compelling reading as they evolve into mature women, capable over overcoming their past hurts and moving forward into leadership roles.

    The fast pace does not slow for a moment and the reader is riveted by the action, subterfuge and often ill advised actions of many of the characters who have suffered at the hands of the government and administration.

    I would certainly recommend this book for lovers of dystopia and science fiction with strong female role models.

    This story is dark but well written. The characters are brought alive.
    That said, there are many instances of rape and sexual violence. My biggest problem with this book was the jumping back and forth in time. It made the story feel disjointed and at times difficult to follow. I don't mind time jumps if there is a reason but in this book I found none. If it had been told in chronological order I would have given it 5 stars not 4

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique and Spectacular Read
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Fall out is a science- fiction, post-apocalyptic, gritty/dark thriller set in the year 3040 where no one can be trusted. Meet Priya, the main character, who is a survivor and who is someone that does not give up despite the circumstances she is facing. After barely surviving a brutal and violent attack, she is saved by Kaleb, who nurses her back to health. She and Kaleb team up to increase their chances of surviving the brutal world filled with diseases, creatures, viruses, gangs, a lack of food and compete uncertainty. As the story unfolds, we find out that Kaleb is trying to redeem his dark past and is actually on a mission from the army to recover a vile that hold the cure for a virus that is devastating the planet. Then Sasha is introduced. She will stop at nothing on her quest for power and the reader is quickly thrust into the other part of the story that brings more clues to the totality of the book. I’m not going to provide any spoilers, but I will say that the characters are well developed, relatable, very realistic, flawed and believable. The story moves at a fast pace and the twists are unpredictable and well thought out. The dark motivations of several of the characters really stood out and was done quite well. The author obviously put in a great deal of time, thought, and effort into this novel and it shows! It’s a complex story; but it is broken down methodically and the multiple storylines merge seamlessly. I always looked forward to picking up the book again to see how the story would unfold and found myself rooting for Priya, who I really connected with throughout the story. All in all, this is a book I would highly recommend to everyone. It has all the elements of a well written, fast-paced, intriguing, and memorable novel. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author.

    3.0 out of 5 stars This Book Needs a Content Warning
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Let me start off by saying the writing is strong and the premise is super interesting. However, I personally would have benefitted greatly from a TW for SA. More than one graphic depiction of rape, one of which bordered on glorification. Also dubious consent and just overall really unpleasant sexual content. To be clear, I read dark stuff (love Irvine Welsh) and I read and enjoy erotica. This just lands in the uncanny valley between the two and as it was advertised as straight scifi I was left feeling conflicted and it pulled me out of the story quite a bit.

    That aside, the writing is strong and the premise is interesting, so I would recommend it but with the caveat that there is some truly unpleasant stuff and it's written in such a way that it just doesn't hit quite right. I was heavily invested in two of the main characters and their mission, and the villain character had good dimension as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A bleak world with a fantastic story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Fallout by Harmony Kent is a bleak, turbulent and fascinating post-apocalyptic Sci Fi novel revolving around the themes of power, deception and corruption. Whilst some of the Sci Fi elements didn’t resonate with me (this is a personal preference however), the entire novel is a brilliant read from start to finish.

    The introduction sets the book up well: a dangerous world filled with disease, infection, ruin, blood-thirsty gangs, violence, soldiers, and roaming creatures. I felt for Priya, the first main character, as she tried to navigate this dangerous world, and the development between her and Kaleb was really enjoyable. I read with delight as his influence brought her power and understanding, a far cry from how we first encountered her at the start. I also liked how we moved to Sasha and her story, watching her work as a master manipulator and her own quest for power and dominance. In the centre is the struggle are the vials, powerful biological weapons that can wipe out vast populations or save them from the terror in which they live. The book was expertly crafted by the author to bring all of this together, and I felt that we spent suitable time with each so as to really understand them, whilst remembering where we left the other person’s story. I loved the juxtaposition of how one of them is at the bottom rung of power and the other is at the top, and yet each has their own battles to face if they are going to survive this harsh world.

    A few minor negatives. I felt a little lost in terms of the context around this world at the start (which is cleared up later on). Kent has done a marvellous job of world-building, but sometimes I found myself lacking some important details. I would have liked some more description about where we were and what the raptors, for example, looked like. I also would have preferred it to be set on earth, but this is my personal preference and does not affect how much I enjoyed this book.

    In short, this is a brilliant read. It was the sort of book I found myself reading in the early hours of the morning and late at night. Sci Fi fan or not, everyone should read this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Some tough content, but keep reading!
    Reviewed in Canada on March 10, 2022

    What a dark, post-apocalyptic world! Fallout is a well-crafted story by a writer with obvious talent. I need to be honest, though, in that I had some trouble getting past some of the content (the brutal rapes and sexual violence were particularly disturbing). However, there is so much more to this tale than simply that and I am very glad I continued reading to the end. The author has everything going down for a reason and a satisfying resolution does come. Ms. Kent's description of the world, the dust storms and the infected were vivid and believable. This story would be good for people who like reading about the darker side of human nature, but also that there can be hope and light after even the darkest moments.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Gritty and fast paced
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    There are spoilers in this review so proceed at your own peril.

    Fallout is a novel which seems to thrill in its bleak and gritty grimness. In the first chapter--almost on the very first page, in fact--the main character is violently gang-raped and left for dead. I'll be completely honest, this nearly put me off the entire book. It felt a little gratuitous. I felt like we easily could have started from Kaleb's section without losing anything from the story.
    Nor is it an isolated incident. There seems to be a lot of violence and sexual violence against women in this story. However, I understand that this is a personal preference, so I haven't marked it down for that. The book also implies that the women of the novel grow strong *because* of the violence against them though, and that did leave a sour taste in my mouth.

    Having said that, the world was well drawn, the writing was clear, consistent and fairly strong throughout and the action was fast paced. It was well thought out and the characters were believable.

    I didn't want to mark this book poorly just because it was not for me. If you are someone who is not put off by "gritty" books, it may well be the book for you instead. If you enjoy dystopian space thrillers, why not give it a try?
