THE FALL: THE RIFT BOOK I

Picture

The World Will Never Be The Same...

An ancient evil, trapped in the ruins of a lost Mayan temple for centuries, has been unleashed.  It takes the form of a deadly virus, one that causes violent insanity in the living and the recently departed to rise and walk.  It spreads around the globe, throwing the world into chaos and war.

As it progresses, those in the States who find themselves far away from the epicenter watch it unfold with unbelieving eyes.  From Washington D.C. to Dover, New Hampshire, regular people are hurled into an existence outside their control, left to deal with catastrophic situations that they are unprepared to handle.  Life becomes a nightmare, and that nightmare is spreading.

First time author Robert J. Duperre presents this scenario with The Fall: The Rift Book I, the first of a four-part series.  In this book, he throws his characters into a gambit; when the alternatives are life or death, self-preservation or the protection of others, what path will they choose?  Is there a darkness that resides in everyone, from every walk of life, that is screaming for release?  When society falls apart and we are left to our own devices, will we make the right decisions, or let the tide take us where it may?  There is horror, there is death, there are the walking dead, and all around are choices.

The novel is illustrated by Jesse David Young, whose drawings capture the intense feel of the events happening within.  There are twenty illustrations in all, as well as the cover art he provided.  These add to the reading experience and help to throw you, the reader, head-first into the world they have created.

REVIEWS

Do not read this book late at night when you are alone. You will find yourself listening for noises that are not there and wondering if something is coming up behind you. - READER'S FAVORITE REVIEWS

One hell of a high-octane thrill ride - HELLNOTES.COM

This book, especially at its conclusion, has a sweeping feel to it reminiscent of Dean Koontz’s The Taking (although without the religious slant) and Stephen King’s The Stand.  - A BROKEN LAPTOP

This plot could have easily become trite and generic in the hands of most writers, but Robert J. Duperre transforms it into a thought-provoking, scary, and thoroughly entertaining ride. - Julie Dawson (Bards & Sages Quarterly)

Duperre's new take on zombies and the undead is both refreshing and terrifying.  The Fall is a masterful work of horror that will have you sleeping with the light on for many nights to come. - FROM THE SHADOWS

With a cast of characters that shows humanity at it's best and worst, I was immediately drawn in by how real these people felt to me, because that's how they're portrayed, warts and all...Just a bunch of real people stuck in an INSANE world trying to figure out what comes next...This is an amazing first book in a series. - BEWITCHED BOOKWORMS

Robert J. Duperre is able to grab your attention instantly and keep you turning page after page, all the while keeping you at the edge of your seat! I could not put this book down! - JUNIPER GROVE
