Victims, Part 1 by Preston Lingle

Victims, Part 1 by Preston Lingle, 265 pages

If you like the Divergent series, you will enjoy this book by my coworker Preston Lingle.  Victims is the first in what I hope will be a series.  In Part 1, we learn the world has come to an end in the future in about the year 2030.  In the future the end of world is called the Fallout.  Very few humans survive the Fallout as well as most buildings collapse.  The book follows teenager Mike as he runs away from his father, and finds refuge with a group of orphans.  The teens are left to fight for their survival and plan for the over throw of what's left of their government.

Not only is this a debut novel by a local author, he is one of my coworkers.  Remember is a book with a very interesting premise and I highly recommend giving it a read.   Remember is about two young men who have very different lives but share a common past.  Brent is super rich and lives in a mansion.  Patrick is a down and out homeless man who is on the outs with his family.  One day, the two encounter each other under bizarre circumstances.  The two soon discover they may not be who they really think they are.  I could not put the book down.  It was full of twists and turns.  Although, the ending will have you wanting more.  I would definitely read a sequel!
