Customer Reviews

Highway Holocaust reviewed

Being a huge fan of Joe Dever's Lone Wolf series, I was very much looking forward to the Freeway Warrior books, and I was not disappointed at all. Joe Dever shows that he can write great fantasy books, whatever the genre, as this semi-futuristic series is just as good as the fantasy/semi-mythic Lone Wolf series. Highway Holocaust is a great book, that effectively starts off the story of Cal Phoenix and the DC1 colony. The tone is eerie to begin with, as you don't know what awaits you. As certain key storyline developments occur, a real sense of foreboding overcomes you, as you begin to realise that things are about to get a lot worse for Cal. The first book, while not immediately a great read, becomes such, when it is clear that it is part of a much greater picture that just a single book. Indeed, as a first book in a series, it is one of the best I have ever read. As you progress through the book, you get a real sense of humanity and of feeling from the main characters. Indeed, it is this which really puts the plot twist at the end into perspective. In the end, this book is a great read, and I really believe that all fans of novels and of great storytelling will enjoy Highway Holocaust, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Great post-apocalyptic adventure

I really like all of Joe Dever's books, and only stopped reading Lone Wolf when they went to the abrisged editions. The Freeway Warrior series is my favorite. It is a great post-apocalyptic adventure that really "puts you there."
