Amazon reviewers have said of Morgan Nyberg’s Raincoast novels:

"One of the best series in the post-apocalyptic genre, hands down."

"An exquisitely formed vision of a broken world."

"On a par with McCarthy's The Road."

"The best I've read in a post-apocalyptic setting."

"This book (Since Tomorrow) stunned me with its power and richness."

“Far and away the best of its genre.”

Before writing the Raincoast series Nyberg had been a poet (The Crazy Horse Suite), an award-winning children’s author (Galahad Schwartz and the Cockroach Army; Bad Day in Gladland) and a literary novelist (El Dorado Shuffle; Mr. Millennium). He had worked and lived in Canada, Ecuador and Portugal. He was teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman when he felt the need to confront in fictional form the ecological crisis facing Planet Earth. The Raincoast Saga, many years in the making, is the magnificent result.

4.0 out of 5 stars This could really happen...
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019

"This is the way the world ends not with a bang but a wimper"...T.S. Elliot could have been writing about this book in the last lines of his poem, The Hollow Men. This phrase perfectly describes this story--the mood it conveys. I rarely read this type of book but I know that this one is a great backdrop and introduction to the Raincoast Saga series of books. It's a fascinating look at the end of the world as we know it, and the one man who denies that it's happening. It's not a fun read, but certainly makes the reader think...so I'm sure I'll read the series to find out how (and if) civilization heals itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the character and story, but won't read the series
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017

I enjoy this novel so much, the tone, the impending, ongoing despair, the graduating and increasing sorrow of the main character while he continues to continue in the service of his job, until there is nothing left. I liked the main character so much I wanted to see him continued in the series. When I tried the first book, I found none of him and I was so disappointed, I probably won't read any of the others. I didn't care to invest in brand new characters that I barely knew. I also didn't like the Road Warrior level society had fallen to. I like postapocalyptic stories, but I don't care to see them thrown in the stone age with everyone fighting everyone else for food. Just not the most interesting part for me. I was sorry that I didn't find what I enjoyed so much in the prequel in the series.

Well done! Perfectly sets the stage for Raincoast Trilogy the timber and tone of this work resonates throughput the whole series. If you do like this short work, you should like the full ride, if you find this sample the longer story is not likely to win you over. I was hoping that it would add a little more depth to the world building than it does, there were several figures that could have used illumination.

I like this book cause it is different. It is sort of hard to follow at first, but I just couldn't put it down. Smith goes all over the world trying to fix businesses so they profit and continue to operate. In the mean time, the world is falling apart, fuel lines are being blown up, cost of everything has skyrocketed. Smith continues his work because he is the fixer, but he can't fix this.

Mr Smith the ultimate "fixer" attempts to fix the oncoming end of civilization. He optimistically carries on flying from one disaster to another fixing what he can....soon to recognize that not everything can be fixed. This is most likely how our civilization will end.
Now it on to The Raincoat Trilogy
Recommend good reading.

This is the most depressing book that I have read in a very long time. Even though something like this could happen, I hope that it does not.

I love Nyberg's pared-back writing. He encapsulates the art of saying a lot in very few words. An interesting prequel to the Raincoast Trilogy.

A good read, a book of just 73 pages which is a prequel to The Raincoast Trilogy which I will go on to read. It is written by an award winning author. Arrived quickly and was well packaged.

A well written tale, with only one principle character and others appearing as cameos.
I read it and enjoyed it, I am intrigued to see how the rest of the series goes.
