As civilization comes apart after the detonation of a "super-EMP" weapon over the American northeast, and as violence and war spiral outward, enveloping the whole world, Warwick refugees wander out into the mayhem and madness to escape...

A Really Good Series

Lively and believable characters with subtle philosophical arguments thrown into a fast moving plot, the WICK series keeps getting better. Looking forward to the fourth book!

[Robert Morris · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is more like it. After getting bogged down in the cold war thriller nobody wanted in the last book, Bunker moves on to a more conventional, and much more satisfying world falling apart story. Thankfully, through the addition of a somewhat ridiculous and repeating Deus ex Machina of a character, the invasion threat that threatened in the previous book never comes to fruition. We are left in the much more interesting space of figuring out what occurs when society breaks down mostly on its lonesome. A lack of electronic gizmos contributes to a break-down just as disturbing as any zombie apocalypse. Believable? Maybe, but it is certainly fun to read about, which was only intermittently true of the last book. This is the most satisfying of the four books in the series. I was only intermittently taken out of the story by Bunker's baffling choice to occasionally write a Carribbean character's dialogue in an offensive patois, or his monologues on his non-standard (uncharitably medieval) take on gender politics. Good clean fun. There is a great book on resource based societal collapse to be written. This is not it, but its out there.

Good story but bad writing. Very flat and robotic dialog.

The next installment in the WICK series.
