EVOLUTION IS EVOLVING
In the Seven Devils Mountains of Northern Idaho, in the radioactive shadow of Chernobyl, their numbers grow. They gather to be cured of their cancer, but they become much more. Soon, they will be One. When they come into their kingdom, all plant and animal life on earth will be rendered obsolete, and a billion-year old experiment called evolution will have reached its logical conclusion.
CATASTROPHE
As Special Agent Martin Cundieffe pursues the trail of the mutant cult, he finds a deeper secret that reaches into the hidden heart of American power, and leaves him powerless and alone before the real enemy. Stella Orozco has traded her freedom and her humanity for something more. When her transformation is complete, she will become a goddess-and lose her mind.
Sgt. Zane Storch is a soldier without an army, a species of one fighting both sides for his own survival and sanity in a body that is fast becoming his own worst enemy. How many times will he fight to defend a nation and a species that shuns him as an abomination? How many times will he die for them?
CREATION
As the Mission heats up its genocidal campaign against Radiant Dawn, the armies of the mysterious Dr. Keogh labor to open a sealed pre-human tomb in the Iraqi wasteland. This forgotten place will decide the outcome of the last war of natural selection, for what lies beyond the crumbling wall is no less than the unspeakable truth about the origin of life on earth-and what's coming next.

Seeing a well written, fresh, updated spin on the Mythos is extremely cool! What is even better is the undeniable similarities to Brian Lumley's Necroscope books. In fact, Spike Team Texas, Storch and Stella's abilities to morph and desire to eat people sound more like Lumley's Wamphyri than they do shaggoth to me. Not to mention that antagonist, Keogh, is bound to be a nod to Harry Keogh (much like Storch - Harry also fought the urge to eat flesh) from the Necroscope books. Anyway, those and other similarities are a good thing to me because Lumley hasn't been writing much lately (Wamphyri or Lovecraft stuff). It is clear that Goodfellow is able to bring together many of the works that I have grown to love over the years. I also have his short fiction, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, and look forward to reading that next!Product details

Ravenous Dusk Radiant Dawn Book 2 eBook Cody Goodfellow Reviews
Now that I have read both Radiant Dawn and Ravenous Dusk, I think that the former can be considered the dignified and quiet (!!!) introduction to the epic storm that is the latter.Whilst the first book can hardly be called restrained, Ravenous Dusk amplifies the Lovecraftian hints and nuances into full on, in your face madness. The central premise of both novels is evolution, whether that is physical, mental, spiritual etc. I don’t know about you dear reader but at some point or another I have asked myself “Why are we here?” and “Where did we come from?” The question, in the light of this novel, should be “Who made us?” and “What happens next?”
The reveal, when it happens, really amplifies the Lovecraftian overtones of humanity being, well nothing really. It turns out that we were a bit of cosmic hiccup in the grander scheme of things that were far, far older and more malign than any form of cancer could ever be. Ravenous Dusk chronicles what happens when experiments get away from their creators and develop their own agenda. And the results can be very, very messy.
Again, I can’t (or won’t!) go into more detail but if ideas about evolution, biological engineering and cloning don’t pique your interest then amorphous island entities, shadow governments, conspiracies within conspiracies, protoplasmic military death squads and full on WTF-ness probably won’t either. Go find something sedate to read instead. Ravenous Dusk is brilliant.
Excellent. It's best to read Radiant Dawn before you read this book, since Ravenous does continue the story started in Radiant, but both books are wonderfully written. The characters are well drawn, the story is complex but fun to follow and although it's not exactly true to the usual idea of the Lovecraft mythos, it's close enough to be fun to read. Yes, please read these two. They are well worth the money. Mr. Goodfellow, do you have any more novels ready to publish? I will buy them
Like the man says, "the greatest fear of the religious is that God does not exist, and the greatest fear of the atheist is that 'he' DOES. But if God exists . . . it's not for you, you don't really want to meet him."
Life is the star of Radiant Dawn/Dusk -- life cannot be restrained or controlled on this planet, whether its the Elder Gods filtering and seething down from the stars, or the Old Ones conducting their ill fated experiments condemning them to degeneracy, or shoggoth survivors trying to imbibe and ingest the world, or the by-blow accidents that eventually evolved the opposeable thumb and reared up on their hind legs to arrogantly crown themselves lords and masters of a world they could never understand, lusting for stars in the firmament that will stare down just as blithely at our inevitable extinction.
Add to this Lovecraftian mix the internecine complexities of our monkey politics a damaged PTSD veteran, a loner Latina with a chip on her shoulder and a tumor baby in her belly, and (my favorite) Mister Cundieffe -- despite being a twisted mutant freak, he's more 'US' than almost anyone else in the book.
Then the power groups, all vying for glory or at least for crumbs Radiant Dawn, the Enclave, Washington & the military-industrial complex, the Mission . . . you need a player card in this story, and even then it's a gray area sometimes just who's doing what for why. Suffice to say this is NOT a story I'd want to have any kind of starring role in . . . but perhaps I already am, and don't know it.
I was sad when I reached and finished the last page of Dusk, the second volume. This story literally made me gasp a couple times in shock and awe. It's a magnificent achievement.
Read it.
The excellent follow up to Radiant Dawn. Both books were well written and had compelling and well developed characters. One of H.P.Lovecraft's Chthulu mythos baddies fits into the exceptional story. I'll say no more. Even if you are not into HPL, the book stands on it's own as a excellent sci-fi/horror story.
Ravenous Dusk is part two - the first book is Radiant Dawn. Like Delta Green (Cthulhu Mythos) and Other Nations (T and P Marsh) - (both are about those "others") these two books are a MUST read. Excellent storyline, good plot, great characters. You do not have to know "the mythos" to read Cody Goodfellow's books. They stand strongly on their own.
There are some chapters that will make you howl laughing. Other chapters will make you shed a tear. These are books I was not able to put down easily - and they are thick and juicy!
