Originally, the series was available for free on Jacqueline’s site, but she later changed some things before making these stories available for Kindle.

Jacqueline Druga feels that this is her baby and that the books are filled with some characters that are real to her. Her hope is that they become real to the reader, too.

“The Silent Victor” is the first novel in the “Beginnings” series, which was released in the year 2001. In just an instance and single act of terrorism, it is over. You are unable to see it or smell it. You do not even know that you have taken it into your body.

The reader looks on as do the people while their world and their loved ones are torn away due to the devastation of this virus.

Humanity, hope, and faith are put to the test while this silent victor is running its course. No one said that life would be fair or easy. No one said that life could not end with just one breath of fresh air.

Fans of the novel found that this story has good characterization, and the pace moves really quickly. This was a great book that readers were unable to put down until they had finished the entire thing. Some found that the characters stand out among the rest of dystopian books. Jacqueline Druga does a great job of taking you and putting you into the story with her main characters.

Some found all of the characters here to be treasures, and you will want them to be around for quite some time. Some wonder how Druga is going to get her characters out of whatever situation they happen to find themselves in. The book is able to make some laugh and cry at different times, something only a stellar novel is able to do.

This book blew some away, and did not disappoint at all. Readers have invested a lot in the characters and cannot put the books down, as they have to know what is going to happen next. These characters are not only likable, but are realistic and some can picture them existing in the real world. The series has not slacked off, in the excitement category, since book one.
