Book 1

The city burns. Orange against black night. Over his left shoulder hangs a blood-red moon. A sickle moon. The stars are red, too. Four days and four nights, the city has burned. And soon, people will come into the desert to escape death in the city. Sick, hungry, the people will be crazy, killing anything to live. They will come out, in his direction. Hunting. Metal dragons in the distance, small shiny ships, exhale fire. He saw the ships and their death up close, four nights ago when he fled the house, fled the city. Man-made lightning. Man-made storms. Man-made death. ~

Overnight, the world has changed. A deadly virus thrusts the country into chaos. Barely escaping, a fifteen year old boy flees to the unforgiving desert to take his chances with thirst, starvation, and isolation. His greatest fears live there, as does the mysterious hope his grandfather gave him. Exposed and vulnerable, he comes face-to-face with his trepidation in the gripping tale of Edge Walker.

What a great book about the travels of a young man trying to survive a post apocalyptic virus that is very similar to the pandemic now. Easy reading with deep emotional thoughts about survival, family, and overcoming loss. A great read with legitimate survival techniques that will have you appreciating Mother Earth and struggles that a young man is willing to endure to survive.

Edge Walker is a story that stays with you long after the last page, to the point that I went back to reread it because I wanted to spend more time with the boy at the center of this story. Filled with fast-paced moments and life-and-death situations, the heart of this tale is the boy who the reader roots for the whole time. Vivid descriptions, beautiful writing, and deep messages of what makes life worth living make this a must-read for adults and YA audiences alike.

Not your average coming of age story. An easy binge read, the storyline keeps you wondering what will happen next. Hampton’s writing style is unique and interesting, providing an almost tactile experience to his landscapes and characters. Like ancestral teaching styles, practical life skills are woven into the fabric of storytelling. I’m quite attached to the characters and will definitely be purchasing book 2, Into the Veil.

Book 2

Darkness. Running past trees that reach to grasp. Overhead a branch whistles, centimeters from contact. Evergreens and gnarled cottonwoods rise up, then fall away. A blood-red moon shines sickly light among the dark phantoms, the atmosphere thick as syrup. He pushes to get free. Malevolence, fused with darkness, lashes at his body and drives him on. Fear catapults him forward as adrenaline pulses through his veins. Panic blasts through every cell and gushes out his pores. A lighter shade of gloom appears, up ahead. An exit. He shoots for it, gains the opening in full sprint, and blasts out of the black forest. But the ground . . . it's gone! ~

Bae’s training has begun. The dark medicine man is out there and Bae’s been tasked with finding him. But how will he do this? He’s been told it’s for him alone to cast out the dark medicine man, whatever that means. After finding family and community in the unforgiving wilderness, he must now seek the lost and long-forgotten paths in order to fulfill his purpose in the second book of the Edge Walker Series, Into the Veil.

Where in Edge Walker, much of the focus for the young protagonist was learning the skills of physical survival, this book delves deeply into spiritual skills and realities. The small community continues its journey toward sustainability, but they can't ignore the threat of the dark medicine man. The story is intriguing, and the characters continue to develop and grow. The end of the book leaves no doubt there will be a book 3 - and when it comes out I will definitely read it!

I have been completely drawn into this story of people drawn back to their ancient connection with Mother Earth during an apocalyptic time. The characters are so real to me, so I was intensely involved with their lives of training, challenges, and survival. I'm looking forward to the next book eagerly!

This series has great characters and an intriguing storyline. Follow BAE on his journey to find out who he is and what his place is in the world.
