Attacks on the family farm grow bolder as the situation across the country turns more grim. Meanwhile, Jed and his new companions finally find a way to get out of the city and on the road north, though more obstacles awaiut them in book 3 of Yesterday's End.

In Michigan's upper peninsula, a mother and her two children quietly work on their family farm, unaware of the death and devastation that is soon to come.

In Las Vegas at a business conference, the family's father barely survives the first wave of horror - but his safety is anything but assured.

The #1 best-selling and most prolific post-apocalyptic author - with over 3.5 million books sold - Mike Kraus is back, writing with Paula Lester to bring you a tale of survival and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

A massive storm bears down on Texas, unleashing tornadoes and hurricane force winds that level entire buildings, including a food processing plant that is unknowingly storing a large quantity of dimethlmercury - a devastingly dangerous neurotoxin.

As this toxin is swept into the atmosphere and spread across the country by the storm system, millions who are in its path die from exposure - but the worst is yet to come. Before the storms hit, the processing plant inadvertently shipped the mercury across the country, resulting in a contamination of processed foods unlike anything in history.

As the death toll rises astrononically across the country from both the toxic storms and poisoned food, any survivors are faced with a simple how can they possible survive?

More mayhem is Unleashed, Yesterday's Gone just gets better

Unleashed is the continuation of the excellent Yesterday's Gone series by Paula Lester & Mike Kraus. The stakes keep rising for the Waite homestead as former friends attack the farm, for Mike and Jane as one of their traveling companions becomes extremely ill and delirious and for Jed, Chris, Ernie and Evelyn survive a mudslide, leaving one of them with critical internal injuries. Somehow, the authors make the characters more and more believable and empathetic with each book, even each chapter. There's plenty of moral ambiguity with not all characters making good choices. I can't wait for book 4!!!

This continues a good series. The writing/editing was generally fairly good though a few minor issues (ex “We should all drink a bottle full,” Jed said). Jed and Chris finally make it out of Las Vegas; I wasn't sure they would and would hate to see how long it would take to get out of a city larger than Vegas. A lot happens on Jane and Mike's trip north and I like that it highlights how dangerous "ordinary" illness can become in the shadow of this disaster. Much excitement at Bea's farm and she and the kids are dealing well considering. I look forward to book 4.

Unfortunately the Waite farm is continually attacked. Friends are getting hurt. Complete chaos and definitely danger. How will this all end. Well written as always to make you feel a part of the action.
