The Company by Chuck Graham

The Company by author Chuck Graham.

About the Book:

A meteor strike plunges the world into darkness. A stranger to the village of Brigos Glen restores power and light, supplied by three businesses, known as “The Company,” located beyond the forbidden mountains. The stranger reveals a plan so the Brigons can maintain the power and share the light with outlying territories, which remain shrouded in darkness.

Now, seventy years later, The Company summons six Brigons, including the young engineer Sam Mitchell, to attend a conference in the mountains of the forbidden Outlands.

Responsible for compiling a report about Brigos Glen from his five companions, Sam learns how managers and villagers largely ignored the plan or compromised it to self-interest, forsaking their duty to share the light. They also took for granted The Company responsible for generating and transmitting the power.

In an ordeal fraught with failure, revelations, and judgment, Sam discovers the true identity behind The Company and learns the fate that may befall Brigos Glen . . . that is, unless he can stop it.

My Thoughts:

This is one of those books that is very surprising. It started out as an epic, post-apocalyptic story that turned into something more. This novel isn’t just about the struggle to survive after tragedy. It is about finding yourself, your compassion for others and truth.

I think Chuck Graham did an excellent job with this novel. It seemed to start out a bit slow, and there isn’t “action” like you might be anticipating, but the storyline and the realization of just “who” The Company is and where/what the Power Source, is excellent. I love how the story unfolds and how the characters blossom throughout the story and I REALLY love just who The Company is made up of, including Lord Mohae. His character and who He actually is, is mind blowing!
