Review :
"Breathtaking Northern Michigan settings are juxtaposed against the horrors of a post-collapse world. Steeped in local Native American culture, written with a vivid love both for the environment and characters it portrays, each book leaves readers eager for the next installment."
-Scott J. Couturier, author of The Box and I Awaken in October: Poems of Folk Horror and Halloween
"I appreciate how Veith shifts focus from collapse to the quieter, more introspective struggle of rebuilding, which makes the story deeply human. The Sudden Quiet trilogy guides readers on a journey through a world that's equally wondrous and treacherous."
-D. Stebbins, author of A Hunter's War and A Hunter's Legacy
"This dystopian trilogy combines mysticism, fantasy, hard science, and a deep connection with the environment in which trees communicate with each other and with nature-fluent characters. Whatever genre you prefer, settle back and let the author guide you through this world."
-Tom Powers, reviewer for Michigan in Books
"What a thrilling series! Seriously, some of the best books I have ever read! I loved every minute and did not want to put them down. This has movie series written all over it!"
-Craig Elliot, author of The Balloonatics
