PDF Ebook Secret Rooms (New Century Book 2), by Alexander Shaw
America has survived a war of independence, a civil war and a plague that has transformed its people into feral predators. Now humanity needs to pull together or face extinction. Sharp-eyed doctor James Penrose and foul-mouthed boxer Abigail Grey are new recruits to the Cartographer Scouts, agents of the reunified US government. They set off across West Virginia, a dangerous wilderness now home to the savage victims of the wendigo outbreak. Fortunately for James and Abigail their accompanying Captain is none other than sharpshooting legend Annie Oakley. What they find on their journey, however, is like nothing this world has seen before. The late 19th century alternate America laid down in The Cartographer’s Handbook is explored up close and personal, through the eyes of these new heroes.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Thoughtful, genre-hopping sci-fi/western adventure that will keep you guessing By Daniel Mayer (Full disclosure: I'm a Patreon sponsor of Alex Shaw's podcasts, and so received a free copy of this ebook. I was not asked to review the book, I just wanted to give my honest opinion of it. Also, my initial experience of the story was in audio drama form, and there are a few subtle differences in dialogue and presentation between the ebook and audio drama, but the content is mostly unchanged.)Set in an alternate version of the United States shortly after the Civil War, in a world gripped by a mysterious infection that turns humans into vicious feral beasts, Secret Rooms follows the stories of Captain Annie Oakley, Sergeant Frank Butler, and Privates Abigail Grey and James Penrose in their efforts to rebuild a country fallen into chaos and rally more people to their cause. New recruits Abigail and James are our principal windows into this strange world. The events that unfold present a mixture of action, suspense, and humor, but the focus is squarely on the interactions of the characters and the difficult moral choices they face.Being a work adapted from audio-drama, the majority of this book is dialogue and narration. It's presented as a series of journal entries and occasional transcriptions of audio recordings. (The Cartographers possess devices called Voxtubes, which would predate the invention of similar audio recording technology in the real world by quite a bit of time, but they seem to be presented as an intentional deviation from the timeline of the real world, and likely not the last we'll see) As such, there is relatively little description given of characters and events, though there are wonderful illustrations of the principal characters that we spend the most time with. Especially in later action sequences, the reader is expected to be able to follow what's happening based mostly on cues from the characters. This isn't one to speed-read.Between that and the heady (and often lengthy) conversations the characters regularly have, I would definitely say this can make for a challenging read, but for me at least this is a selling point rather than a detractor. If you prefer something with a heavier focus on action and imagery than on dialogue, this book might be a little drier than you would like, but if the setting intrigues you at all I highly encourage giving it a try.I have to be intentionally vague when describing the plot because this is definitely a story that plays with its cards kept close to the chest. There are some readers who may find the plot developments in the latter half of the book unbelievable or out of place based on what they had seen so far, but there is an internal consistency to all of it which was hinted at in the previous volume, The Cartographer's Handbook. However, fans of the New Century series like myself love this aspect of it, and I can't in good conscience fault a suspense story for having a surprise ending that was "too" surprising.Speaking of The Cartographer's Handbook, it is referenced many times during Secret Rooms, and while I don't think the reader has to experience the Handbook first to appreciate the world it describes, it does provide a lot of context for what's going on. I encourage newcomers to the series to start with Secret Rooms, but if they find themselves feeling like they're drowning, it may be worth reading or listening to the Handbook first to get some additional context, though its presentation will likely make Secret Rooms seem widely accessible by comparison.Lastly, I'll confess some amount of bias as I was a fan of Alex's work even before being introduced to this series. Nonetheless, if I thought the book was crap I would have said so. I thoroughly loved Secret Rooms and everything else I've seen and heard from the New Century series so far. It's clever and thought-provoking, and loaded with complicated engrossing characters I was happy to spend time with. I can't recommend it highly enough.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Secret Rooms is excellent. Characters from the world of The Cartographer's Handbook ... By Megan Baker Secret Rooms is excellent. Characters from the world of The Cartographer's Handbook are incredibly bold, varied, and rich in personality (I don't think you HAVE to read Cartographer's first, but I would definitely read both of them close together to get the full experience). Abigail, James, and Annie are all strong leading characters, and I enjoyed getting to know them. I don't want to say much about the plot because I don't want to spoil anything, but if you enjoy a blend of history, science fiction, and a touch of horror, this is a great book to try.I also first experienced this content through the audio drama of the same name via iTunes. I thoroughly enjoyed the text version on its own, but I would highly recommend the audio to go with it.

By Iain Hopwood Secret Rooms as quickly become one of my all-time favorite books, with a brilliant cast of characters, a brilliant cast of characters and a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. If you are a fan of Firefly, Avatar the Last Airbender, Battlestar Galatica, His Dark Materials, World War Z, Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter then there is something in this series for you.
