Book review – “Contain” by Saul Tanpepper…

It is a pleasure to say that “Contain by Saul Tanpepper is a good book.

It is obviously independently/self-published (despite stating Brinestone Press as the publisher), and indeed a look at the final page shows that it was printed by Amazon in the UK. However, this book is at the upper end of independently published offerings:

* interesting cover art using an intriguing font,

* enticing blurb on the back cover that succinctly confirms this is a bunker/survival story,

* well-drawn characters with good motivations that I came to care about,

* a well-paced plot that did not overuse the genre’s tropes to the point of cliché,

* good use of grammar, without any spelling or formatting errors, avoiding the kinds of excessive ‘Americanisms’ that can turn off UK readers.

I rarely recommend books, but if you enjoy bunker-survival stories, this one is a rare treat.
