About Sinister Tidings

Here you will find a collage of likes and dislikes from RTS’ Spyder Collins. The primary focus is to bring fun and indie flashes of art and not so mainstream artists. There is nothing fancy, revealing, political or otherwise world shaping. Just things, introductions, reminiscing and fun in the world of literature, art and music, to which I hope you enjoy and find some pleasure in.

After First Light - Scott Nicholson



Mr. Nicholson is a writer; he proves this with this well-written tale of civilization being thrust into the dark ages with the loss of power and technology through the introduction of solar flares into the atmosphere. For me, it is a worn storyline – even television jumped on this bandwagon with “Revolution” be aware as well that this is a prequel story to a series based on the same topic aptly named “After.”


Apocalyptic happens are running amuck in this perhaps political 'horror' fiction or perhaps that aspect of it is not really intentional?

Zapheads … the designation of those negatively affected by the solar flares, creative? I don’t know, for me there really isn’t much to talk about but I gather if you are into the series then this is a great read. As I said, the writing is tight and well presented. Mr. Nicholson tells a good story and apparently knows a little about solar flares and their affect on the atmosphere. I would recommend experiencing outside of milestone 291 and save this tale for later if you decide you dig the After series.

I must confess that I enjoyed the info at the tail of the book where he gets into his other works. That said ...
