October Rain eBook Dylan J Morgan
From start to finish in this book, Mars is a gritty, unwelcoming place. Everything is breaking down, hell, society is breaking down and folks are trying to leave. Including Steele and his family. His bounty hunter job for the government that he hides from his family reminds me of Repo (The genetic opera, not the movie) where there's a tough balance between familial deception and protection. The world's really well fleshed out, even though it's desolate and the plot's tight which works well for this novella.Product details

October Rain eBook Dylan J Morgan Reviews
I liked this novella a lot! It takes place many, many years in the future, after Mars has been colonised by the dying Earth, and thousands have moved to artificially constructed cities on the inhospitable red planet. But now life on Mars is coming to an end, too, and the lucky ones are moving out to Titan, a satellite of Saturn.
Government agent Steele has one last mission, before he can join his wife and daughter on the journey to Titan—a dangerous and terrifying one...
I've read quite a few of Dylan Morgan's books, and this one reminded me of The Dead Lands, my favourite, with all its expertly orchestrated suspense and bleak atmosphere. This writer knows how to do 'bleak'! The pace is perfect, the plot unpredictable, the characterisation spot on. It's not for the faint-hearted, or those who want to be assured that everything will turn out all right in the end.
My only complaint is that it's so short, even though it fits perfectly into the length of a novella - I think it could have been a novel, though, or maybe the first in the series - come on, Dylan, surely this can't be all there is??! It's a great idea; made me want to know what happened before, and what will happen after. One of those books that made me want to keep clicking the page turner on my iPad, hoping for more )
This is the second book by Dylan Morgan that I’ve had the pleasure of reading. After reading The Dead Lands I was hooked and I thoroughly enjoy his style. After reading The Dead Lands I remember telling Dylan how much I loved it and asked when the sequel was due. Of course I knew it would be a bit of a wait since it had just been released. Although I spend most of my time reading Horror I still love science fiction so I was thrilled when asked if I was interested in reading October Rain. Again Dylan Morgan gives us a great science fiction thriller this time set on mars in the distant future.
Steele a bounty hunter is sitting at the welcome terminal on Mars. He has three names left on his government contract list to find and eliminate. He sees Charlotte a known druggie and associate of the men he is after. With some quite coxing he extracts the information from her and continues his search before time runs out and the contract expires. Steele needs to find Preston, Hawkes and Pierce and fast, he only has one day left. He learns from Charlotte that Preston is at the Museum of Human History and quickly pursues his target. Dylan fills in the backdrop of Mars with such clarity you can see it easily in your mind. The strange pink glow in the atmosphere and the near dead and dying city that was once a busy place filled with hope and promise. Now all that is left is people looking for another new and thriving place to live. Mars has lost its appeal and only a fraction of citizen remain living here. The city of Olympus is now a shell of its former self, still beautifully constructed but equally empty in comparison of its former days. Dylan builds a picture real enough to walk through while looking out at the strange Martian landscape with its constant storms and tinted red soil. It doesn’t take long for Steele to find Preston but he is just one name on his list and he needs to find Hawkes and ultimately Pierce.
This is the last night on Mars for Steele and his family. They will be leaving for their new home on Titan, a small moon orbiting Saturn. Little does his family know about Steele’s real job, his wife knows he works for the government and his work is top secret. Lucky for Steele he is able to conceal his real profession, killing men for the government who have been deemed a threat. His only goal is to finish this last mission and leave Mars for a new and better life. You can really feel for Steele and the internal conflict he has at having to kill these men while hoping to keep his family remains safe and hoping they never know the truth. Steele hunts down Hawkes and finds the clue he needs to locate Pierce. Steele finds him hiding in the mines of Mars, a deserted place rumored to be extremely dangerous. Shortly after Steele finds Pierce Dylan reveals a major twist in the plot that made this final mission really interesting. I loved the way Dylan turned the tables on Steele and us as the reader. Dylan twists the knife in Steele and rips his heart out. All Steele is left with is crushing desperation and a slim chance to save his family. October Rain is a great fast paced science fiction mystery. If you haven’t read Dylan Morgan yet do so, his stories are filled with action and are fast paced reads. I highly recommend The Dead Lands as well.
This book was def a wonderful treat. I wasn't sure what to expect but the author did a great job. Would love to read more on this author.
October Rain
by Dylan J. Morgan
The main character in this short novella is a bounty hunter employed by the Mars colonial government in a far off bleak future. He scrambles for his goal of moving his family to another place with more hope and less crime. The tale is reminiscent of those written by Phillip K. Dick with a less hopeful view of things, the books and short stories not the movies. I found it to be a quick and enjoyable read.
From start to finish in this book, Mars is a gritty, unwelcoming place. Everything is breaking down, hell, society is breaking down and folks are trying to leave. Including Steele and his family. His bounty hunter job for the government that he hides from his family reminds me of Repo (The genetic opera, not the movie) where there's a tough balance between familial deception and protection. The world's really well fleshed out, even though it's desolate and the plot's tight which works well for this novella.
