Into the Fire

I writing the same review for each of the books, they are all wonderful!I read a lot, one or two books a week, mostly SiFi/fantasy . I started down this road with Mr. Tufo when I picked up Zombie Fallout September 1st of 2010,wherein I was introduced to a set of characters who I sincerely cared for, Michael Talbot being at the head of that list. I was late coming to the Indian Hill series, but boy did I make up for lost time. I read IH1 January th and then sprinted through 2-7, this past week, finishing IH7 EARLY this morning (2/4/18). This series is more than just a space opera, it is a story of love, bravery, and especially hope and family.Mr. Tufo recreated Mike's world in such a way that all of the characters were the same people with eerily similar backgrounds to their counterparts in the Zombie series. They are, for the most part, younger with less seasoning, but they still hold true to who they are in the other, I'll call it dimension. Mike is still a bit crazy, he still has many of the same phobias, and shortcomings, yet he in some ways is stronger and less flawed they the other "Mike", or just differently flawed. You have Mike's Childhood friends Paul and Dennis who like Mike grow up and take on enormous responsibility at a very young age. Though as I write this they are the age many of our service men today are when they join up. They become men at a faster pace because the world needs them to.You have a love story as well, one that as readers of Mr. Tofo's books will recognize immediately, Mike and Tracy, though you will scratch your head and wonder where Tracy is for a while. There is also the love between men and women who fight and die together, who don't fight for lines on a map or star chart but the person net to them in combat. Other friends fall into this place with Mike, like BT and DraBaBan a new character, who it is impossible not feel great compassion for.The seven book series see's these people grow and change, some for good other for worse, but in any case you can't help but enjoy the ride and watch. If you haven't read the Fallout series of books don't worry, start here and then go meet the other Mike.Mark Tufo, thank you

I started reading the series because it's by one of my favorite authors. I wasn't quite sure about the title, but I was definitely not disappointed with the quality of writing. Mark Tufo just pulls one awesome book, after another, out of his hat. You get so wrapped up in these books, that you just can't put them down. Michael Talbot is just such a "larger than life" character, that is totally believable. There is comedy, suspense, action, and just such realistic twists and turns in this story, even though the scenario itself, is so improbable. You will not be disappointed if you try this series!

These books are just too short. The action and adventure is well pace and very descriptive. If you haven't started this series, I highly recommend that you do. This author has an extraordinary knack for storytelling. I wish these could be made into movies, because I would watch them all. Book 5 finished in a day, on to Book 6. Read these for yourself and you will be impressed. And addicted.

Mark can write suspense, comedy, and loyalty and honor better than most. You're on the edge or your seat screaming that they make in one chapter then holding back tears in the next and then laughing like a nut the next. A Sci-Fi epic journey!!!

Another great one of the Indian Hill series of Mark Tufo. Lots of action, Aliens, and family. Can not think of anything I did not like about this book. Left with a good cliff hanger which is always correct for a series. On to book 6 and certainly ready for it.

The Indian Hill saga continues! Mark Tufo keeps you on the edge of your seat once again in this epic page turner. As always, the characters are engaging. You'll feel like you know them personally. Some you will love and be laughing at, crying for and cheering on as the story unfolds. Others, you will hate with a visceral passion. No matter who it is, you will be fully immersed into their world. Mark Tufo writes an imaginative and somehow believable story. Once you pick it up, get comfortable. You won't be able to put it down until you finish it.

Mike Talbot & his posse do it again in another hit in the series Indian Hill 5.This time we see Mike join forces with his wife Tracy, BT, & a surprise enemy Alien group, the Genogerians.Will Mike & his posse make it through this war?That's a question for another day, but the book itself is well worth the read. You should probably start from the beginning with Indian Hill 1, so you won't be lost.Either way you will enjoy another new hit from writer Mark Tufo.

Another great read. I love this Series. Every Character in this book has become so familiar to me, after reading the Zombie Fallout Series. So I am off to Book 6.

Indian Hill – 1-5 (reading 6 at the moment)OK, so I seem to be a fan of Michael Talbot and BT, – not quite sure when that happened, but I can’t get enough of these guys!! . Their relationship keeps me gripped in their story, so at the beginning I was a little disappointed not to have the comedy duo in the books. (sorry if that is a spoiler) My joy when they meet up just cemented what turned out to be a grippingly good series!The story flows, and easily introduces new and different characters without being clumsy. There are enough explanations without overriding and having unnecessary padding. Interesting little snip bits of what else is going on in and around Indian Hill so it’s not ‘all about’ one person.Marks Tufo has a writing style that can be intense and an easy read at the same time, anyone could – and should enjoy these books. You wouldn’t even need to be a fan of the genre, (as I’m not) and they will still keep you gripped and wanting more.I was a bit wary of the Indian hill series and have actually come to them quite late (but a ZF reader) - but yet again the story, the character (s) relationships all kept me gripped and wanting more. So much so that reading 6 is a little saddening as it’s the last one.I feel like a kid shouting and stamping my feet – but - I WANT MORE!!!!!! Pretty please with a cherry on top...

I love this series as much as the Zombie Fallout. Absolutely great story telling and the characters so meaty that I actually laughed out loud at the dressing of Tony's leg and I immediately wanted to share the joke with who I thought would most appreciate it ...Mike. I don't know if there is animosity between authors but this is meant as praiseworthy when I say you are easily as good as Bobby Adair though I don't mean the Major. Keep writing Mark you're very good.

When I first started reading this series I was worried that it wouldn't compare to the zombie fallout books. How wrong could I have been!This book was amazing and I'm totally hooked on the series, love the fact that Tracy is an absolute bad ass in this series..the banter between Mike and BT had me in stitches and there's so much going on.I've now read about zombies, werewolves, whistlers from another dimension, giant conquering crocodile aliens and scary as hell spider aliens...I don't quite know how Mark Tufo pulls it off but he does and he's quickly becoming one of my favourite authorsP.S I absolutely frigging love John the tripper....just had to get that out there

Just reread the series to prepare myself for the release of book 6. Mark has created a character in Michael Talbot that is truely engaging. Whatever reality he is in I want to know his story. The companions and the way they interact is wonderful to behold. I hate coming to the last published book in any of his journeys...

As I a massive tufo fan (I've read every book written by him ) I was not disappointed,the humour is excellent.There really are some laugh out loud moments,If your looking for a really well written book with some good old craic and a journey along the way start with Indian hill 1 and just make sure your not busy that day because you will not put the book down .ps also zombie fallout is a must.
