It's been two days since Selah Rishon Chavez escaped the Mountain with her father and dozens of other Landers who had been held captive there. Now it's time to move on to safety. But no one can agree on a safe route or even the final destination.

Selah's real problem, however, lies deep within. Ever since her first interaction with a Lander, she has been changing, and the changes go far beyond the mark just below her collarbone. As a novarium, she is destined to be the key to solving a 150-year-old mystery--making her Public Enemy Number One not just to the Company but to other Landers.

I love reading and writing action adventure but it doesn't make me happy unless there are body count, blood, and blowing things up. I play with mad skills at coding HTML and website design and live in a log cabin in the woods with fifteen acres, an old apple orchard, and a pond full of bass though I'd rather buy fish at the grocery store. I share my domain with a puppy, and two cats who think I'm the waitstaff!

About the Book:
Selah may have escaped the Mountain, but the real danger has only begun

It's been two days since Selah Rishon Chavez escaped the Mountain with her father and dozens of other Landers who had been held captive there. Now it's time to move on to safety. But no one can agree on a safe route or even the final destination.

Selah's real problem, however, lies deep within. Ever since her first interaction with a Lander, she has been changing, and the changes go far beyond the mark just below her collarbone. As a novarium, she is destined to be the key to solving a 150-year-old mystery--making her Public Enemy Number One not just to the Company but to other Landers.

My Review:
Two Days after escaping the Mountain, Selah learns that they must move on to safety. But with her father, Glade and Bodhi fighting over the safer routes, she know something must happen and fast. Soon Glade introduces a guide/bodyguard for the trip someone of whom he trusts greatly, but Bodhi on the other hand believes the guide has ulterior motives.

Selah finds herself under scrutiny by fellow Landers, who seem to want nothing more than her head. With so much to face, how will they ever find some where safe?

Aftershock is a Stone Braide Chronicles Story. This ebook was an epic read with equally epic action. I love how even though it was only forty-one pages long, it still had action and adventure all through it. I definitely can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as good as Ted Dekker or Terry Brooks.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016

A near(far?) future fantasy story based in the east coast of America. The main character is somehow a special young person, chosen for a task not fully revealed to her (or us). The prequels to this are written a little better. The story is somewhat choppy. The main character swings modes quickly, but that is like most youngsters who are coming of age. The overall mystery of how this future world has come into being is not fully disclosed in this book. There is a sequel to this, supposed to come out in the fall of 2016. Perhaps that will give us the answers to why things are the way they are. Lots of action and futuristic weapons and travel craft to keep us engaged. There are more traditional weapons as well. Some mind reading, but it doesn't get carried away. It is a good book for teens, nothing overly risque in it. All in all it kept me engaged, and I wanted to keep reading it, but it is not as good as a Ted Dekker or Terry Brooks fantasy book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story and an interesting prequel to LIGHTNING (book #2 in the Stonebraide Chronicles)
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2015

This novella follows THUNDER (which also has a prequel novella titled TREMORS). AFTERSHOCK is a prequel to LIGHTNING, which I am presently reading (pre-release copy). Neither novella is necessary to read the main novels (i.e., THUNDER, LIGHTNING), but both give you a little background to circumstances that take place in the respective novels. I believe both novellas are available only in electronic format.

I didn't find AFTERSHOCK to be as great as THUNDER, but it is okay. I give it four stars because the story is good, progresses between the two books, and I like authors writing (free) novellas to fill in gaps between novels. That in itself is kind of novel, it you get what I mean! LIGHTNING picks up only a few days after the ending of AFTERSHOCK. You will enjoy having that bit of extra material as a backdrop to what happens in the first chapter of LIGHTNING. It also introduces a new character that is significant in LIGHTNING.

I think Bonnie Calhoun does a good job writing. I know I am a guy and the main character is a girl (Selah), but there is enough intrigue and scifi mystique (especially what goes on in "the mountain") that it holds my interest and I find it to be an enjoyable read. A good adventure story that keeps you turning pages to see what's going to happen next. You will enjoy it!

I am really excited to see what this series offers after reading this short story. I thought it was a prequel before I read it but now realize that it goes between book 1 and book 2. It laid a strong foundation for the other books in the series for me and I can't wait to see where the story goes in the other books.

It's sad that Bondi might die from the turning Sheila.
He doesn't even know that she knows and is trying to help him.
I hope it all works out.

Short. Read in about 20 minutes. Answered some questions but not all. If you don't like to be left hanging don't start this series.

As a come on to the authors books this very short come on does not do what it intended for me. Not enough meat to see where and how the author handles the problems for the protagonist.
