Blue Courage Book Review
4 out of 5 stars
Blue Courage, Battle for the Afterlife Saga is written by C.J. Davis, and is an action packed SciFi/Fantasy that took me to a little bit of everything. There’s dinos, hovercrafts, war, zombies, Schwarzenegger-like action.
So first couple of chapters we meet Reese, off to Mexico to save his coach’s daughter from a cartel drug lord. And then he dies. But that’s not the end, folks! Reese awakens in the afterlife, to find out he’s to compete in the Centennial, the ultimate televised obstacle course. He finds out he’s been dead and alive before, and is a warrior for the Blues. The Afterlife is split up into different types of people: Reds, Blues, Greens, and Lost Souls. There is a rivalry between the Reds and the Blues, and Reese must stop the inevitable war. Action ensues when Reese starts training for the Centennial and gets even more intense when it begins.
This book was a fun read that kept me wondering “what’s gonna happen next?” I had a hard time starting out, but when the main character dies (no spoilers…I mean, it’s a book with the word “afterlife” in the title), I felt the story picked up the pace, and it gets more exciting. I really enjoyed the world of the Afterlife, and it was never wanting for something new. You look one direction to see dinosaurs, another and see zombies, and up you see hovercrafts.
I also really enjoyed the unstability of the people of the Afterlife. A war is raging between colors, you’ve the possibility of becoming a Lost Soul….it’s not completely peaceful, and it’s an interesting take on the afterlife.
All in all, The Battle for the Afterlife started off shaky, but soon picked up. I highly enjoyed the ride and looking forward to more from C.J. Davis!
