Freakin Friday!

Feel free to join in and do your own Freakin Fridays posts!

Tune in every Friday. Get your scare on!

Let’s have some fun!

Blight is the original backstory of Eden’s Root  and is always FREE. I believe, if you grab this book, you will feel you have to read the rest.

I look at the beautiful cover for The Blight and I think it signifies the beginning, but really it is the ending of the world as we know it.

Add Shudder to Goodreads

I have read and reviewed Eden’s Root (Book I) and Seeds of War (Book II) and I can hardly wait to read Emergence (Book III) of the trilogy. Rachel E Fisher has won me over as a fan for LIFE. To see my reviews, scroll to the end of the post. To get The Blight, click on the cover.

These books are so realistic that it reinforces my fear of what is going on today with our food supply.

Are you afraid? Maybe you should be. I have questioned scientists use of growth hormones in our meat and genetically modifing grains to make food resistant and grow quicker. It frightens me and pisses me off at the same time. What gives them the right to play God? Read on, but take a deep breath, let it out slow and buckle your seatbelt, because it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.

All the covers are beautiful and the titles hint at what is to come.

This review is very difficult for me to write. I do not want to spoil anything for you. I think these books, even though they are fiction, should be a warning.

 “Not everybody associated with a bad thing is a bad person.”

But where do you draw the line? What if you knew what you were doing was dangerous, would you still continue to do the work?  Would you blow the whistle?

Scientists mantra – discover, discuss, debate, but never conclude. Does that give them the right to play God and not accept blame for the result if it is bad? They sure want the praise when it is good. But, no, it’s not their fault. They only did the work, others made the decisions of what to do with it.

Only the Chosen would know the specifics. Only the Chosen would be protected. But the Chosen would need resources – people, information, supplies…. Resources would need to be saved and protected, hidden for safety. They would need this to rebuild a new world.

My heart bleeds for so many of the characters. The decisions they have to make are, not only soul sucking, but leave millions to die and the rest to fend for themselves.

Louis – outspoken. Felt they had already crossed the threshold of no return. He spoke the Truth and many did not want to hear it.

I loved when Rachel talked about Louis’s green children – he carried pictures of his houseplants, greenhouse and outdoor garden. I couldn’t help but laugh. I know people consider their pets their children, but plants? LOL

Fi – a redheaded Boticelli.

2030 Heirloom – scientific definition – strains of plants and animal that predate WWII, a hundred years or older, before genetic modification and hybrids.

Politicians – they undermine the good in the name of the powerful. I feel the government uses subterfuge to distract us from what is really going on.

Mike – Fi’s father. Mike knew that Fi, his daughter, would love learning about the project to plan for an outer space colony.

Stan is the money man behind Eden, seed capital.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos   5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

Even when you know the right thing to do, sometimes it is not possible to do it.

Blight is always FREE on Amazon.

Quotes

There are so many quotes in the book I want to use, that my review would be all quotes if I didn’t figure out how to do it differently. lol

“We now have dominion over Nature.” That one is going to bite them in the ass.

  “But?”

Darryl “…some evidence that this sequence can also cause plants senesce well before flowering…….transferred to several wild species of grasses….”

Senesce – to die before producing seeds. Speed up development but it will  also speed up aging.

“This is about the moral duty of the innovator.” “….we will pay for playing God.”

“….politics trump science…”

“Are you girls online shopping in preparation for going real shopping?’ LOL

Darryl – “I’m the architect of the disaster.”

“I guess the time is here.”

“…the shit has officially hit the fan.”

“There is only so much room on the Ark…”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rachel FisherRachel E Fisher

I am a wife and entrepreneur living and working in Florida. I am also a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, where I majored in Biology. It was always my assumption that I would end up making research my life. Though it did not work out that way in the end, my passion for Biology remains intact.

I have always loved biology-based science-fiction and the young adult genre. It is in this vein that I offer my work.

.

In Rachel Fisher’s dystopian world, natural grown food has turned to poison or died before it can produce fruit. This idea was partly inspired by her own life and the necessity of creating vegan and gluten-free meals.

    • The whole premise of this series totally freaked me out. I have always wondered what will happen in the long run with all our doctored up foods.

  1. I have to read this immediately. I knew you had read some of this series. Your review has sucked me in! Excellent, Sherry. And I’m lovin the quotes:)

    • Thanks Laura. This is an excellent series. I couldn’t get enough of it. Seems so realistic, as if it can happen to us at any time. I wonder how I will respond in some of the situations I read about. I would hope that I will be a warrior, not a wimp. lol

    • I agree! What blows my mind is how blatant they are about it here in the US, maybe it’s everywhere. It’s like they are saying, “What you gonna do about it?”
