What happens after the end of the world? It's been nine months since the meteorites hit. They brought both destruction and disease, carrying a mysterious pathogen that has killed untold millions, while turning others into Meteorwraiths -- zombie-like human relics. Now, the tattered remnants of humanity do their best to survive. Alice and Adrian have lost everything except each other. Both barely twelve-years-old, they fight their way across the ruins of Europe, in a desperate search for their family. James Walscombe is senior safety specialist trapped inside top-secret US nuclear facility Atlantis with two colleagues. They survived the impact, unscathed. But now, one of them has turned into a psychotic murderer. Packs of Meteorwraiths roam the lands, looting, thieving, killing. Some of them try and settle peacefully within the fragmented communities that survived the impact, but they are the minority. Father Paul struggles to keep his faith in a world resentful towards its gods. His life isn't the one he thought he'd chosen when he entered the seminary, and now new, dark deities are creeping out from the shadows. A mysterious army of men in black uniforms has appeared out of nowhere, their aims and motives unknown. But their plan is one that will change the face of the Earth, forever. Earth's survivors are trying to adapt to the harsh realities of the post-impact world. But the worst is yet to come. IMPACT is a post-apocalyptic serial novel. This is book one. ** PLEASE NOTE ** IMPACT is a serial novel, with a story stretching across multiple books, rather than a single, self-contained volume.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The story is told from a shifting perspective - which was a nice mechanic to forward the story along and give us ... By monkey I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a post-apocalyptic book, but the apocalypse wasn't that long ago - so many of these kinds of books either focus on the immediate aftermath or so far in the future that the protagonists remember no other life. In Impact the immediate destruction phase of the apocalypse phase is over but the characters all remember life before the event.The story is told from a shifting perspective - which was a nice mechanic to forward the story along and give us a more complete picture of the apocalypse than just a single narrator can typically give.The pacing was nice - and again the shifting perspective keeps you reading because once you end a chapter you feel the need to keep reading to get back to see what happens next for those people. The editing was really tight.I normally don't read books that I know don't have an ending but I was warned in advance that this was very much not a complete story. I will definitely be reading more in this series as it's written. I recommend it to all fans of post-apocalyptic books.
6 of 8 people found the following review helpful. I need more By Brian Switzer *SPOILER ALERT*'IMPACT: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale' is book 1 in Matthew Eliot's Impact series. The book is well-written, the characters are likable and three dimensional and the narrative is engaging. Unfortunately 'Impact' has some structural issues that make it a frustrating read.Its biggest flaw is, as whats-her-name once said of Oakland, that there is no there there. There's no meat on the bones. As the title indicates Impact is Book One of the series. It's also very short, nearly a novella. Perhaps Eliot intended to use Book One as an introductory novella to present the scene and the characters, and then present a story arc and plot in the next book. If that's the case he shouldn't have made this one available until books further into the series are as well, because while this one does an admirable job of that roll-out, it doesn't tell us what these characters are doing, and it asks more questions than it answers.We know three meteors have struck Earth, destroying most of the planet and leaving the survivors in a dystopian nightmare. There's a town, Bately, who's leaders are doing their best to care for the townspeople and a flood of refugees, many of whom are deathly ill. There is a pair of children making the perilous journey from somewhere to a relative's home in Bately. There is a trio of survivors in an underground military installation. There's Father Paul, Bately's priest, who is doubting his faith and himself. And finally, there are the meteorwraiths, people who suffer from a terrible illness borne by the meteors.The book's description refers to the wraiths as 'zombie-like' but they don't come across that way in the narrative. What the wraiths are is not explained very well. They have terrible sores and lesions that may or may not be communicable. Sometimes they are threatening but most often not- one of the book's minor characters is in love with a woman who carries the illness and many of the refugees that the Bately folk are carrying for are wraiths. If Impact ever explained why the wraiths are feared and what threat they present I missed it.And that's it. Eliot introduces all the characters in a pleasant and easy-to-read way; but by book's end the reader doesn't know what motivates them or what the conflict is because neither has been presented. It's like a beautifully wrapped gift box with no gift inside.I don't think every book in a series needs to be able to stand by itself and I don't mind cliffhangers. But any book in a series, especially the introductory one, should leave the reader with an understanding of what the characters are trying to achieve and what obstacles they face in doing so.

It is a good take on what can sometimes be a formulaic genre. The characters were well written, and many of the scenarios had me on the edge of my seat. The writing/editing was very well done. I found no errors, which was a pleasure. As long as this series remains available through Kindle Unlimited, and is as good as the first, I will keep reading. Hopefully the author will not keep us waiting too long for the next in series.
