If you have been reading
the Scorpius Syndrome series by Rebecca Zanetti as religiously as I have then
you will have already met the characters who inhabit STORM GATHERING, book four
of the series. This series becomes more involved, the characters more attached
to each other and as some questions get answered, more rise to the top. It just
keeps getting better. If you haven’t read any of this series yet…I highly
recommend you do!

Blurb for STORM
GATHERING:
Even
before surviving the Scorpius bacterium, Greyson Storm was a lone wolf
navigating minefields. As a kid, he learned to take a hit and find safety. As
an adult, he joined the military and quickly learned how to protect and defend.
When the world ended, he created a mercenary camp with military precision, no
entanglements, and a promise to avenge a fallen friend. As part of that vow, he
kidnapped Maureen Shadow, but now that he has let her go, her blue eyes and
intriguing mind keep haunting him…
As possibly
the only Biotechnology Engineer still living, Maureen Shadow might be
humanity’s one hope to survive the aftermath of Scorpius, making her
frighteningly valuable to both allies and enemies. Even after sexual tension
explodes with Greyson, she’s not sure which camp he belongs to—friend or foe?
Worse yet, survival may mean thwarting his prime mission, putting her in even
more peril. When danger and seduction collide, there is no safety in this new
world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After
Maureen Shadow’s time with the Mercs, she felt herself pulled between loyalty
to her brother, and the Vanguard camp and her attraction to Greyson Storm, leader of the Mercs. Her hope now was that the two groups could come together and form a
stronger more resilient team to go up against the lunatic, President Atherton and
his band of military bad guys.
Greyson
Storm doubts he can come to any trusting agreement with Vanguard but he wants,
needs, Maureen back in his protection not only because he needs her skills as a
scientist but because for the first time since Scorpius decimated the
population, his heart is beginning to feel again. Now he has to make a choice,
work with Vanguard to further the cause of humanity or work with President
Atherton to avenge the death of a fallen friend. If he betrays Vanguard to
avenge a friend, would Maureen understand or even forgive him?
The
world after Scorpius has become an even more dangerous place as food sources
begin to dwindle, fires break out, and Atherton and his men become more daring
in their attacks on Vanguard. Having located one bunker, they hope to locate more
but who is to control them once taken…Vanguard or the Mercs?
When
Atherton takes Greyson’s best friend hostage, Greyson knows he must do the
impossible and it will probably cost him his life. His greatest surprise comes
with who steps up to give assistance when it’s least expected.
STORM
GATHERING is action-packed from start to finish…never a dull moment in this
one. Maureen is tough yet fragile and Greyson is determined to protect her at
all costs, even if it means letting her go. He’s tough and does what has to be
done even it goes against his heart but in a world gone out of control, there is even more need for rules and order. Break one of Greyson Storm’s rules
and the punishment will be harsh. Touch his woman and forfeit your life.
Rebecca
Zanetti has created such an amazing cast of character for this series. Just
when you think they can’t be anymore heroic, along comes someone like Greyson
Storm and Maureen Shadow. They are so perfect for each other and I love that
the one person Greyson wants to control the most is the one he controls the
least—Maureen Shadow.
I
highly recommend STORM GATHERING by Rebecca Zanetti to anyone who loves fantastic,
strong, and passionate characters living in a world so well written that you
feel as if you are standing in the deteriorating setting created by the words on the page. Even if you’re not
normally a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, please give this series a chance…I think
you will be surprised and delighted enough to become as addicted to it as I am.
I can’t wait for WINTER IGNITING—Damon and April’s story. Hurry, hurry!
Happy
Reading Everyone!
