October Skies

I have have just finished reading October Skies by Alex Scarrow. It is the sequel to the Day of the Predictor in a series called Time Riders. This book has a lot of history about the wagon trails west in the mid 1800's. I would highly suggest this book to any history or mystery lovers.just in the few hundred pages of pure awesomeness it taught me more about this event than we ever learned in social studies class. It is a little disturbing at some parts and I must warn you it brings up cannibalism, so this is not for the weak of stomach. If you are also into horror, it has some of that too. The writing style is my favorite because it can be confusing at some times when it switches between times, places and characters. For the first couple hundred pages it does not bring up any of the characters from the past books in the series. I would give this book a 9.5 out of 10 for its great morals and its knowledge of important American history. The theme of the book also revolves around what we are learning about native Americans in English and social studies class. I hope you will read this book because of its great human morals on basic principals that from time to time us busy students forget. such as; sharing and helping each other out in a tough situation, and survival techniques.
