Well told and written, but too long!

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022

Undoubtedly, Mike Kraus is the king of post-apocalyptic fiction. This collaboration with Kevin Partner may be one of his best. However, Kraus's series are so long that I'm ready for them to end long before the last chapters. This seems to be a fault of many writers in this genre. They stretch the storylines to the breaking point in order to publish "just one more book." This series, though, was exciting, just violent enough, not overly emotive and descriptive about weapons, and the characters are distinctive and believable. The impossible rescues and over the top solutions to the apocalypse are to be expected, I guess, since we continue to read them. This story has impossibilities galore, but that's part and parcel of this genre. Very good. Too long.

Charlie Hart

Lame scenario; stupid civilian characters

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022

First off, humvees DO NOT HAVE IGNITION KEYS. They have push buttons.

Now the story is well written but the characters are naive, foolish civilians who would be murdered in real life.

Only Hollywood good guys make dumb decisions and survive; and that’s all the authors apparently know.

Protagonists keep sacrificing themselves and their own supplies for every unprepared, selfish, useless person they meet. Want to survive? Put your team first; everyone else can pound sand.

I’m half way thru and am not sure I can finish; rooting for the protagonists to all be killed.

Perhaps I spent too much time in the military and can’t relate to untrained civilians, but I expect someone to nut-up and start slitting throats in a survival story. In order to survive they need to get ruthless.

Oh and the whole “let’s raise the melting temperature of ice” scenario is wildly absurd.

For most of Earth’s history it has had only one ice cap or none; only recently developing two icecaps. So melting the Antarctic would only affect human civilization; not a big loss to Earth.

Humans left would adapt, and be much better off without NYC, DC, and the rest of the parasitic coastal cities.

This is not a wild ride but it is a scary one, and I wish everyone had a chance to understand how close to the edge we ride when we do gene splicing and work with nano robots even as primitive as we are now. As with so many great science fiction stories the moral can take some thinking.

Well written, easy to read, great story line, everything you need in a series is in these books! The characters are believable and diverse. Something for everyone here. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes the possibility of a bleak, beautiful, Hollywood movie sort of read. Kept me up at night wanting to know what would happen next!

Loved it especially nice was books without foul language!! Took me a bit to get everyone straight Buzz, Bobby, Ellie, Eve, Jo, Jodi but once I got it enjoyed their adventures separate and together. Love when a book takes me to places and helps me “see” them. Fabulous series sorry to see it end. Hats of to you Mr. Partner and Mr. Kraus!!!
