From Kirkus Reviews! “The author deserves kudos for her vivid conception of what a climate change–ravaged world might look like. In her Colony, humanity not only survives but thrives in a situation that feels both familiar and yet very different … This is an engaging tale that is optimistic about the future despite a past full of avoidable suffering. A skillful and enjoyable blend of post-apocalyptic drama and soap opera.” Read the full review here.
Five Stars from Readers’ Favorite! “Susan Greenberg Feltman once again weaves an enthralling read in Starlight, Shadows and Tears … The dynamic cast and the vivid depictions breathe life into the plot. It felt like I was right there next to every character, helplessly watching the scenes unfold. The subtle tone of the storyline, accompanied by the drama, adventure, and thrills, had me flipping through page after page.” Read the full review here.
Five Stars from Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews! “This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story … This is a very powerful read, and even though it is the future, it brings out the humanity in people … When an author can emote such emotion, and almost bring a reader to tears, then they have written and showed a remarkable story! … Both thrilling and intriguing, all the way to the end. A definite attention grabber, so much I couldn’t put it down.” Read the full review here.
The story continues in book two, as Manny Stewart becomes a man.
After a difficult childhood, Manny now has matured into a street-smart, ambitious young NYPD detective with a talent for his work, and a background as a thief. He has married his childhood sweetheart, Naztazya, who is the sister of Manny’s foster brother’s wife Anna. They have a little boy, Zach, four years old, with another child on the way.
Manny has inherited a vast empire of real estate and other holdings. The bulk of his wealth, though, comes from black market trade with Philadelphia. Although it is illegal to leave the Colony, Manny has been doing so for many years. The family business is a thriving and lucrative illegal enterprise funded by investments from many prominent citizens, including many of the NYPD. It has made Manny’s family fabulously wealthy. Finally, Manny’s life is on track, peaceful and filled with promise.
