Eden's Legacy (Eden Rising Post-Apocalyptic Series) Paperback – March 26, 2016

I’m enjoying this series very much. It seems to be very well thought out. I don’t know if things would go as well as this when the actual end comes for us, but it would be nice to think so.

In Eden’s Legacy, book three of the fantastic Eden Rising series, we follow the next generation — the children born after the world changed — as they set off to explore the land to the west. But the adventure turns deadly, and lessons taught by their parents may not be enough to survive a new threat. The book delivers riveting, fast-paced post-apocalyptic thrills. And, perhaps, a glimmer of hope?

The growth of Katie aka Cat, the budding love interest with Simon, the smelly bearded men attacking and killing, group of kids venture outside Yellowstone and it’s an eye opener, Cat meets a stranger whom reveals a confession, and more in this book.

A group of young people, including Cat and Simon, decide to explore the area west of Yellowstone. However, the Adventurous group stumbles upon a deprived group of men, Hell bent on killing the young men and kidnapping the young women for their own pleasure.

I loved the first two books in this amazing series. (Eden Rising and Eden Lost) But I have to say, this book—book 3—may well have been my favorite.Our characters Ben and Lila have grown, seven years have passed since Eden Lost, and the delightful little daughter they produced has become an amazing young woman.I loved this character—and even though she was only sixteen, she astounded me with her ability to adapt, flow with nature, and protect herself and her loved ones without flinching or hesitation. While there were so many awesome high action, edge-of-your-seat scenes (they were sooooo good!), some of my favorite passages involved Cat (formerly “Katie”) interacting with nature and animals.I loved the scenes where she rescued the baby wild mountain lion, where she escaped the giant grizzly bear with her mother, and where she walked among the buffalo.This serious and delightful young woman captured my heart with her down-to-earth spirit, her connection to nature, and her love of animals.Then again, I also loved how she would draw her crossbow and pick off any villains who threatened her family or friends.Like I said, this gal is a keeper. And I pray—oh so hard—that somehow Mr. Cunningham will find a way to extend this trilogy (or at least its characters) into another book, or two, or more!One of the most interesting aspects of these post-apocalyptic stories is the intense sense of renewal and the “second chance” that mankind has to “get it right.” I loved that the earth regenerated and that the characters found a way to survive without the gadgets of today’s modern world. It makes one long for that life of simplicity…for the life on a ranch or farm, to raise one’s own produce and chickens and goats…or whatever it takes to live a wholesome life in the country. The ideals of peaceful communities co-existing and helping out their neighbors was also so very refreshing. I miss that kind of country life in today’s society, and hope that this book might even inspire others to think twice about their own lifestyles of incessant video games and texting. There is so much more to live for and to enjoy outside of electronics! I hope this inspires of Mr. Cunningham’s readers to get outside and take a walk in the woods, and to leave the cell phone at home. ;o)Okay, off my own soapbox for a while and on to search for another book by this amazing author.Highly recommended by award-winning author Aaron Paul Lazar.

I so enjoyed these 3 books! Andrew has a wonderful way of making us see all the people in His books. I'm looking forward to the next book.

The first two books in Andrew Cunningham's Eden series has affected me more than most TEOTWAWKIs I've read. The change the world went through was devastating but as another generation came of age we see progress, however painful. The human race might just make the world a better place than the world they lost. Here’s hoping book three is as good

…this is the second time I have read this book— well these first three books (and I’m on to the fourth ).They — the story and the characters — tell exactly the kind of story I want to read.There’s guns and shooting and an entire world of death but there are a threads of peace and determination and genuine hope and success running throughout the stories. I love them. They are so popular that to find them, you just have to Google “Ben and Lila post-apocalyptic “ and that will get you the title.(Ben and Lila are the main characters).Don’t pass these by (this review is for #3 but it really includes all of them)Respectfully,

Eden’s Legacy had me from start to finish. A brilliant page-turner that doesn't slow down till the last page. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the full series

This was a good ending to the trilogy. There was some pain but ultimately a strong dose of optimism. There wasn't a great conclusion for everyone but of course that is reality.

I enjoyed all 3 books couldn’t put them down now looking forward to the next one definitely worth read ing

A readable book interesting to see different ideas of how survivors react if they do not conform to your own ideas then they obviously got it wrong
