After reading other Robert McCammon books, I decided to take a chance in reading another to see if it matched his outstanding writing in the Hyperion Cantos. Swan Song was very good and it did not disappoint. Set in post apocalyptic America after being bombed by Russia, this book follows 3 different accounts of where people were when the bombs dropped, what they did after, and how they survived. Eventually each story becomes one and they all find out the purpose of “why” they survived such a devastating tragedy, while also trying to avoid the antagonist of the story: a demon who wants to eliminate them. This book falls under the genre of “horror fiction,” but there is also a touch of the supernatural and mystery. I can definitely see this as a great movie or show in the future.
