Couldn't put them down!

Overall The Breakers series is great! I snagged books 1-3 as a box set for free on Kindle free bestsellers and now I can't stop reading! The author does an excellent job creating narratives of several different characters throughout each book and tying them all together through chance meetings, locations, or common themes.

Some reviews have stated that the books are disjointed, but if you begin with the first book of the series, I don't think it feels that way at all.

The books are so fast paced that I think once I have finished the entire series I will re-read them all again because I am sure there are things that I missed on the first go round.

Book 4, Reapers, felt somewhat tangential to the series. We follow Ellie and Lucy, two characters that we've not yet seen in the series, and no characters from the previous books make an appearance. Their stories are interesting, however, and the location ties into previous books.

Book 5, Cut Off, was probably my favorite book in the series so far. We get to go back to Ness and Tristan and their stories actually end up intertwining, which was great. I thought Ness's story started out a little dull (maybe I am just not that invested in Ness's character), but it ended up becoming very interesting.

Book 6, Captives, brings us Walt and Thom. Thom is a new character in the series and has a pretty amazing plot twist, which I did not see coming at all. Raina is also back in this book. Another great book in the series!

Now I have to go buy Book 7 and devour it! This is probably the best post-apocalyptic series I have read in a long time!

still going strong

Very entertaining. Author gets stronger as he goes along. Often with a series like this it really peters out but I think this one gets better and tighter as it goes along. The characters grow and develop. Actually had several instances where I was totally surprised by a turn of events.
The one downside would be cussing does increase as well. It doesn't ruin the story but it does limit the audience you might want to recommend it to. Currently finishing book seven and headed for eight :)

Best long-game writing ever!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

Let me begin with something that sounds like a brag--and probably is: I hold a doctorate in Western Literature. I have read a lot of great literature, and this series is THE BEST example of long-game writing I have ever experienced. If you start at the beginning, and keep reading even in moments where it seems to be getting off track, you will ultimately be rewarded with the AH-HA moment where it all comes together. It's a long read, but not a difficult one. Though filled with great ideas and philosophies about human nature and the general experience of life, it's written in contemporary language, easy to follow the characters, and an excellent aura of dry humor. Start at the beginning, don't skip a single chapter, and the pay off is so worth it. Enjoy!

My Favorite Dystopian Novel EVER!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can finally get some sleep! LOL
The author has created a dystopian world as complex as Hugh Howey's and as contemporary as King's The Stand. His writing is as good as Suzanne Collins' in The Hunger Games... actually, in his narrations he makes some observations about the human condition that's pretty reminiscent of Hemingway or Stienbeck to tell the truth... The series is as action packed as the forementioned works, but also a little deeper (does that mean it's more 'Literary'? I hope so, b/c that's what it is to me). Great characters, complex plot lines, and he's not afraid to surprise you. I also purchased the second series after catching back up on lost sleep. Sadly, I started that series during the Holidays, and I'm again sleep deprived. But in a good way. The second series is as good as the first. A thoroughly enjoyable read by an extremely talented writer!

A few fresh ideas, lots of interesting characters and pretty good writing. I just wish there was more. Let's see what else the guy has written.

This is a great series. Definitely not what you would call deep literature, but damn exciting with characters you come to love.

More great storytelling, albeit with typos.

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was exactly what I expected: a continuation of the excellent stories from books 1-3. I enjoyed them very much, and would definitely recommend them to anyone who enjoyed the earlier books. To me, the ultimate test is whether I want to continue reading the series, and I'm definitely planning to read book #7.

That said, I have to drop a star for what was, at times, poor proofreading and/or editing. I don't usually mark down books for that -- most books have a few typos. But sadly, they were numerous enough here to be a distraction while reading, a problem that I didn't have with the first three books.

Twists and Turns Keep You Reading

This series was fantastic. I could not put it down. There's something happening around every corner and I was so engrossed with all of the characters, it was like being there. I could see this as a movie, it had everything - love, hate, happiness, sadness, action, drama, etc. I never read books twice, but these I would as there is so much going on, I'd be sure to glean something new the second time around.

If you enjoyed the first set, you MUST buy this one!

Reviewed in Canada on September 23, 2019

High praise, yes, but I was very pleased with my purchase. Having been transfixed by the (free!) first three volumes, I had no qualms about purchasing the second set. Author Robertson has populated his world with compelling characters in exceptional circumstances. Do moral codes stand up when 99% of the population dies? When worlds collide?

...and as soon as I finished this second three volumes, I purchased the next book in the series.
Think 'The Stand'. I hope a TV miniseries awaits, because as cinematic as this saga is, it's too big for a movie!

Brilliant

A brilliant trio of stories following the exploits of the characters in the Breakers series.

There are familiar characters and some new ones. There are twists and turns. There is plenty of action and a deep philosophy of wisdom that brings depth to the story as a whole. The characters have their flaws and strengths, and are certainly believable. Great sense of place.

I have reviewed each book separately so will just say bravo, truly entertaining.

Go Walt, my favourite.

Highly recommended.

Probably the best post apocalyptic epic I have read.

Reviewed in Australia on January 31, 2017

I run out of superlatives to describe this amazing work. The writing is the highest standard. I have been going to Wikipedia a lot so big is EWR's vocabulary. So, apart from being a great set of entwining and interrelated stories with a huge cast of survivors it has been a learning experience. The books are very much an epic covering global events and it is still holding me into the story beyond book 6. I expect I will carry on reading everything this brilliant author has written.
