The Last Storm

By Tim Lebbon

Book Overview

A gripping, terrifying road trip through the heat of the post-apocalyptic American desert from the author of Netflix's The Silence. This action-packed and thought-provoking eco-nightmare will appeal to fans of Benjamin Percy, Christopher Golden and Josh Malerman.
With global warming out of control, large swathes of North America have been struck by famine and drought and are now known as the Desert. A young woman sets out across this dry, hostile landscape, gradually building an arcane apparatus she believes will bring rain to the parched earth. Jesse lives alone, far from civilization. Once, he too made rain, but he stopped when his abilities caused fatalities, bringing down not just rain but scorpions, strange snakes and spiders. When his daughter Ash inherited this tainted gift, Jesse did his best to stop her. His attempt went tragically wrong, and he believes himself responsible for her death. But now his estranged wife Karina brings news that Ash is still alive. And she's rainmaking again. Terrified of what she might bring down upon the desperate communities of the Desert, they set out to find her. But Jesse and Karina are not the only ones looking for Ash. As the storms she conjures become more violent and deadly, some follow her seeking hope. And one is hungry for revenge.

Family, life and death, it’s all here

The world has become everything we were warned about. Natural disasters have multiplied and are tearing all of life as we know it apart. A small group of people, who possess a supernatural ability walk the land though. One family with the chance to make a difference. All that’s left of the line is a father and daughter, Jesse and Ash. What they can do can save lives, but it’s not without danger, and is almost impossible to control. Watching their family story weave through the failing of our world was captivating, heartbreaking, and terrifying. The Last Storm by Tim Lebbon is a solid five star book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
