In this issue she provides Riley with some cold hard truths regarding the bleak reality of what it really means to join the Fireflies, and shocks Ellie after relaying a surprising amount of knowledge that she’s accumulated about her. The end of issue #3 introduces a familiar face from the game ‘verse: Marlene. The final issue begins where the last leaves off with Ellie and Riley being captured by the anti-government militia group, also known as The Fireflies. As it turns out, there is definitely more pre-game universe ground that can potentially be covered, should both writers choose to expand upon the series in the future. Those who have already completed the game are probably wondering whether Druckmann and Hicks chose to take Ellie and Riley’s story to its poetically tragic end. WRITTEN BY: Neil Druckmann & Faith Erin Hicks Chronicling Ellie’s journey prior to the established video game storyline, this mini-series proves to be as accessible and thrilling to new fans, as the game is illustrious and esteemed in the industry. Game writer, Neil Druckmann, and lead artist Faith Erin Hicks, turn in the fourth installment of “The Last of Us: American Dreams”, closing the final chapter of Dark Horse Comics’ noteworthy prequel to Naughty Dog’s original creation.

I love to veggie garden and have a large suburban block full of fruiting trees and vines. I have three cats, three chooks, 20+ canaries, fish, worms, crabs, and now a budgie to take care of. Let me introduce myself to you: I am Renae Kaye. Which day? You see because each day for me is different, and this is why writing works so well for me. When Nic Starr gave me my blog topic, I sat and scratched my head. Don’t forget to check out her new book, The Shearing Gun, which was released yesterday. I thought I’d share here to that everyone can see what she gets up to. She satisfied my curiosity by giving me a little glimpse of her life as a writer (and a wife and a mother and everything else!). This morning I was visited by my lovely friend, Renae Kaye. Then I switched to my Bose headset and found it much easier to conectrate and I didn't find the accent a problem at all. I first started listening to this book on my Amazon Echo and found the accent a bit tough due to the extraneous noise, I really had to concentrate. Usually in a book like this it takes a while to get your ear tuned into the accent. One last thing, the narrator has a distinct Scottish accent. Well, you'll just have to listen to the book to find out. He mainly smokes too much but Rebus also drinks too much, has a terrible diet, has to take breaks walking up steps to the point where you wonder if Ranking is going to have him expire at book's end as an end to the series. One side note to this book is answering the question, is this the last book in the series? The author makes references to Rebus' health throughout the book. Working with his long time sidekick, DS Clark, John works the case(s) in his way, alienating coworkers and the bad guys along the way. This book has two murders and a solid beating that need solving at the very end of John's career. Rebus is like the other good crime novel series I like, the detective is flawed but you can't help but like him and he gets the crime solved even if not always in a conventional manner. If you've made it this far, you must be a John Rebus series fan. |
