Format:Paperback
I found this book exiting from beginning to end.
Having the main character being quite weak and helpless helps you to relate to him. So much description just helps to bring this story to life and leaves an imprint in your mind for quite a while.
This story is religiously based and needs you to think a lot to understand the ending.
I was satisfied with the ending and it explained everything to me as i wished. It also gave the impression that you are your own God and many people may doubt that but you have to find out for yourself.

Format:Hardcover
Each Bowler novel lives in the grey border between hard-edged realism and plausible fantasy and Apocalypse is no different. Passages of this book are among the most powerful he has ever written and they hit home like bare knuckles - pain everywhere. While not as emotionally satisfying as his previous novel, Starseeker, there is still loads to admire and the page-turning narrative really keeps things pumping along. It's a gritty read though so if you're of a nervous disposition you might be better off with Abigail the Breezy Fairy.

I am a great fan of Tim Bowler. I have enjoyed all of his books. He doesn't flinch from working with challenging themes and issues. Apocalypse is one of his darker books and captures the essence of the current issues that have resulted in recent tragic events around the world. He challenges our views of right and wrong at many different levels: the extreme physical and emotional pain that that Kit has to endure from others, the intolerance that can be found in some belief systems and ultimatley the nature of good and evil. These are issues we are all faced with in such a volatile world.
It is also a good read, gripping from start to finish.

One of the best novels I have ever read.
I'm hard pressed to think of many other novels that I've read in my life which I enjoyed more than this one. Read more

It's all over..
I have read only two other Tim Bowler novels- Starseeker and Storm Catchers- and enjoyed them both immensely, so I had high hopes for Apocalypse. Sadly, I was disappointed. Read more

Very different

Is it unfinished?
This book confused me from the very beggining. It began with sailing jargon far too complicated for me, having never controlled a boat, with no explanation and continued to not... Read more

Keeps you reading but a disappointing ending
This book has an excellent beginning. Tim Bowler is the master of suspense, and 'Apocalypse' is no exceptions. The plot is gripping, chilling and suspenseful. Read more

Too weird for words
This book started out great. The setting was perfect: lost on a sailing boat in the middle of nowhere. Read more
