Karen knows the horror that comes. So does Patrick. In THE DEAL, the first of the Sent Back trilogy by James L. Grant, the chosen few are allowed to try again. But which is worse - the devil you know, or the devil you don't?


Review :
Post-apocalypse porn with a flat-out ridiculous amount of suspense.
If you enjoyed the reality-smashing creepy horror of Grant's other novel, On The Banks Of Lethe, you will like this. And you will like this even more if you stop reading this review right now before I spoil the damn thing for you.

Somehow, J. Grant managed to write a book that is both fast-paced and slowly-unfolding. A post-apocalypse story that takes place before the apocalypse, through the eyes of the people who have already not yet lived through it. Sounds confusing? It is. It is very confusing, and that is the beauty of it.

Karen wakes up to her long-dead husband making coffee in their peaceful North Dallas home, and the story begins.

Decades after the collapse of our comfortable, orderly, society some of the very few survivors get a chance to get sent back. This means enduring the living hell that was The End a second time, as well as carrying out various terrible errands as payment for the journey, and a very high likelihood of just flat-out...
James Grant's breakthrough novel?
I've been following Grant's work since the early 2000's.
I've always enjoyed his dark, somewhat geeky humor and raw, head-on characters and stories.
While his previous novels (Velan, Lethe, Pedestrian Wolves) were certainly enjoyable, one couldn't help but feel that they could be so much more.

Not so with The Deal.
This book is as mature, dark and full bodied as well-aged whiskey. Every bit of the reading experience is thought out, planned and well executed. The characters and their dialogues are believable and, by proxy, make the novel's apocalyptic premise believable as well. No suspension of disbelief necessary.

Followers of Grant's other works will recognize subject matter he is obviously comfortable with (guns, food, computer networks, survival, and, yes, sex), and his expertise in these fields meshes well with the story, lending credibility without burdening it with unnecessary or tedious detail.

The narrative kept me on my...
Loved the book, hate the waiting....
James L Grant has given us a brutally frightening, character-driven, intensely suspenseful story that is also the first in a series. As much as I loved meeting these characters and watching their improbable histories unfold, I'm annoyed that I now have to wait who knows how long to read the rest of the trilogy. To say that Grant's prose is gruff and down-to-earth would be to discount how carefully crafted this story is. As I read it, I found myself swearing in surprise, wincing in horror, and wide-eyed with suspense for characters I had no idea I liked so much until I was in danger of seeing them die.
