Emily Stanton was sick. They all knew it was a matter of time before she became too sick to walk. They had to make it to safety soon. But where was it safe? The city? Their old island? Hal, Robbie, Abigail, and a very sick Emily know their island is just along the coast beyond the city. There they hope to find a way back to Miss Simone's world. But the bleak, deserted roads ahead are home to survivors of a terrible virus. Their skin still burns and itches after all these years, a suffering that just won't end. The biosuited military calls them scrags. Marked by lesions and scars, they're easy to recognize . . . and best avoided. Under normal circumstances, the journey would be fairly simple. Even the crazy scrags are no match for a fire-breathing dragon, an ogre, and a naga. And there's no way they could catch a nimble faerie! But after the recent phoenix rebirth that dried up all the magic, the shapeshifters find they can no longer transform. ROADS OF MADNESS, the fifth book in the Island of Fog series, pits Hal and his friends against an enemy worse than dragons -- people!

I am a 53 yo grandmother who loves to read, with a 9 yo granddaughter with the same passion. I was looking for a book that I thought she might enjoy when I found the very first book in this series, "Island of Fog". We have both enjoyed them completely!! From the moment I picked that first book up, until setting this 5th book down, I have been a HUGE fan of Keith Robinson and the "Island of Fog" series. I am not one of those reviewers that talk all about the quality of the characters and their development, as I just don't know how to put all that stuff down in writing. I will leave that to those that seem to have the flair for it. I agree with all of them completely though, as I find myself laying awake at night feeling sorry for the characters and hoping they can find their way out of the latest predicament fairly unscathed. You will NOT go wrong reading these books.
I only gave this book a 5 star rating because there wasn't a 6th star offered. I would not be at all surprised if a movie, or even a series of movies came out of these books.

I came upon The Island of Fog series while looking for books for my child. Taken by the unique story-line, I gave the first novel a read and couldn't put it down! I've since read the other 4 books and really enjoyed them. Roads of Madness is a great romp through post Armageddon America. It's like a cross between the classic movie 'Stand By Me' and the AMC series 'The Walking Dead' (age appropriate, of course) with a little fantasy thrown in. The writing style is clear and concise and dare I say it, uses good English. It is easy to follow and because of that, you (and younger readers) get carried along for the ride without getting confused, even though there's lots of action going on. Remember when you were a kid, the idea of being the only people left on the planet was akin to imagining being invisible or having x-ray vision. Pure fantasy. Now throw in very believable "super powers" -believable in an almost...hmmm, that's plausible kind of way, and you have a story that appeals to both sc-fi and fantasy fans. The scenarios and environment are very well executed -you are there. It's one of those books that transports you. The characters are well developed and their friendships grow through the series which is set over a short space of time. One niggle is that I wanted to get to know the characters a little more and wished for even more descriptive embellishment. Then again, that's the grown-up in me and it *is* aimed at younger folk. I found very little I didn't like about the story... I'm trying to think of something as I write...nope! Each book stands on it's own but best as a series.

ROADS OF MADNESS takes Hal and his fellow hybrid friends and plops them into the middle of a world in ruins. With their magic ripped from them by the rebirth of a phoenix, they face savagery and the unknown without their ability to transform into magical creatures. They brave the scrags and a lethal group of survivors known as The Swarm. I loved how well the author peered into Hal's thoughts. The teens are intelligently written and are tasked with finding their way out of harrowing events. They react like real people with a mix of thoughtful and foolish responses. I love how Robinson develops the characters with each new book. I can't wait to see what Hal and his magical band come across next.
This book is fast-paced and will appeal to fans of series like THE MAZE RUNNER and ROT AND RUIN. Robinson smoothly blends fantasy creatures with zombielike mayhem to great effect. This is a great book to snatch up if you've never tried the series. It will have you hunting down the previous four volumes thanks to the wonderful tidbits Keith sprinkles throughout the book about the cast and their past. If you haven't tried this excellent series, you're missing out on a writer firing on all cylinders.
