Hidden

Final Dawn #2

by Darrell Maloney

In Book 1 of this series, "Final Dawn", we met Hannah and Mark. She was a brilliant scientist, working for a NASA contractor. He was a successful engineer and a bit of a cornball. Together they made the perfect pair. They were a young couple in love, and looking forward to a bright future. Everything changed the day Hannah found out the world was doomed. She discovered a meteorite headed for earth that would wipe out most of mankind. The United States government, led by a corrupt President more concerned with saving his cronies than his citizens, tried to silence her. When she was able to spread the word anyway, President Sanders did what politicians usually do. He lied. “Don’t worry,” he told his citizens. “We have a plan. We’ll work with the Chinese. We’ll send up a weapon with a powerful nuclear warhead, capable of diverting the meteorite onto another path.” People around the world were conflicted. They desperately wanted to believe. No one wanted to die. But they knew they couldn’t trust their governments. Some panicked. Some rioted. Some calmly accepted their fate. And some, like Mark and Hannah, continued their efforts to save themselves and the people they loved. A few days before impact, the mine they would call home for the next seven years was finally ready. Mark and Hannah gathered up family and friends and gave them shelter. It wasn’t a tropical paradise, but it would keep them alive. "Final Dawn" ended when Saris 7 collided with the earth. Around the world, millions were dying. But deeply hidden in an old salt mine outside of Junction, Texas, these forty people would survive. Here, in "Hidden", is the story of their survival.

Reviews

[Katey8 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Borderline misogynistic with religious superiority overtones and a nationalistic bent, it's one of those novels of this type that is so focused on prepperism that it never really develops a solid storyline outside of logistics. Not great.

Good book

Read all of the books in order to really enjoy. Characters are realistic and get better and better. Storyline continues to grow and develop.

I read this book in one day. I just couldn't put it down! Love the flow and details. I feel like I was there with them.

Hidden (Final Dawn 2)

I truly enjoy this series. It's not one that makes me get all hyper, instead it's one that makes me feel like I'm wearing my comfy sweats and hanging with friends.

Awesomeness

Book 2 was just as great as book 1. It takes you through the seven years of life under the earth in the salt mine cave.
