Story Behind The Book

I always thought the end of the world would come not from a super bug or an asteroid with a funny name or Yellowstone blowing its top, but from people. People are the most dangerous thing in the universe and this book explores that. When people go nine meals without food, they become desperate and destroy.

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">From the get-go, &quot;Nine Meals&quot; by Mike Kilroy is entertaining and impossible to put down because of all the plot twists. - <i>Book Beast</i></div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"> </div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">The sci-fi story's characters are well drawn and contain enough moral conflict in a post-apocalyptic world to bring the reader right into their heads. And I didn't want to leave until their plot lines were resolved and the world was adjusted to its new normal. - <i>Herald-Star online</i></div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><i> </i> <div>Reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's &quot;The Road,&quot; but with more depth and much more suspenseful, &quot;Nine Meals&quot; is going to delight both fans and non-fans of the genre. - <i>New York Book Pundit</i></div> </div>
