"Doomsday Diaries" by Aaron Powell is a thrilling apocalyptic story told from the first person perspective of Luke Mitchell, who begins the story as a 13-year-old being hurried to an underground survival shelter by his mother and father. Worldwide nuclear destruction has erupted, and their hometown of Austin was among the first cities destroyed. As they rush into their shelter several miles outside of Austin, bright lights to their rear signify the end of the world as they knew it.

The beginning of the story focuses on Luke and his parents as they struggle to survive for five years in the cramped but amply supplied shelter. They try to live their lives as "normally" as possible. Luke continues to be home-schooled, but his curriculum is expanded to include the survival and defensive skills he will need once (if) he and his family are able to return to life above ground.

Aaron Powell obviously knows a thing or two about survival preparation and training. Significant and realistic details are provided throughout. I found the book to move at a believable and page-turning pace as I anxiously anticipated the family's return to the surface and what awaited them.

When the Mitchells finally venture above ground, they find a "New World Order" has been established. The systematic nuclear destruction of the world had been their doing. It is here the story takes a fast-paced turn. Luke transforms from a home-schooled and somewhat naïve farm boy into a super hero as he attempts to rescue his parents from a world where older citizens are of little value and the main purpose of teenagers and young adults is procreation and repopulation.

I found the speedy transformation of Luke, still a teen, and how he reacts to what he finds in the New World as stimulating reading, but a little hurried and less believable than the first half of the book. I felt the characters introduced at this point -- the New World Leader, Mr. Winthrop, Luke's love/lust interest, and the dolphin woman who came to Luke's aid -- needed more time to develop.

"Doomsday Diaries" was a quick enjoyable read, and the stage has been set for new and exciting adventures for Luke Mitchell. Aaron Powell is a promising new author worthy of your reading time.

Doomsday Diaries Aaron B Powell 9781478101741 Books Reviews

I thought I was reading a survival story. Boy was I surprised! The idea of people behind the scenes running the world has been around for a long time. It makes for a good sci-fi story. I liked it, but the sequel is too short for the cost. If you don't mind the price, I recommend the story. I think it would made a great movie, better than most that I see on the Sci-Fi channel, maybe even a good series.
If you like X rated this is the book for you. Would not want my teenager to read this. I got a sample and it sounded interesting and non of the sex was in the sample so I ordered it. Real weird!
"Doomsday Diaries" by Aaron Powell is a good book which was hard to put down. The storyline is very good and creative. The story is well developed and easy to follow. I enjoyed the way the author wrote the book as a journal.

The characters were believable and easy to relate to. I found I could put myself into the story and identify with the characters.

There is one section of the book which did not add any value to the storyline but actually distracted from it and will limit the book's readership. It was a section of the story that dealt with graphic sexuality and could have been handle more discreetly.

Other that this I liked the book.
Promising start, even though the very typical US Marine and weapons and blah blah made me cringe a bit. 1/3 in it started feeling unbelievable, the family in the bunker was a bit inconvenienced by having to hide from a nuclear holocaust, but it didn't seem to faze them too much (is Playboy really THAT good?). 1/2 in (leaving the bunker), and I had to reading, it became too stupid, with the ridiculous and very lazy new world order-"twist". I picked up again half a year later, started from the beginning and this time forced myself to read the whole thing. And now I want to forget it. Let's just say I don't like fantasy, especially not if it's marketed as science fiction. And especially not nonsense fantasy without a shred of credibility. 2 stars thanks to the promising beginning, but do not mistake this for scifi or post apocalyptic fiction, it's just bad fantasy.
