The Meteor #2
The Meteor 2
Cassandra 22007 continues to hold the world in its grip. After the destruction of large parts of Los Angeles, the remaining inhabitants fight for their survival. Among them are Lee Rifkin, who must not miss the most important rocket launch of his career, and Branson, who is confronted with a truth that will change his life forever.
Meanwhile, in distant Siberia, Jenna Haynes finds herself deep in the Ulan-Ude containment zone, where the contamination provides an ominous glimpse of what might be the fate of Los Angeles. But in her home country, no one seems to realize how great the danger really is - and she has no way of sending messages from the sealed-off zone or escaping the Russian government's attempt to destroy the entire area.

About the author
Joshua T. Calvert
52 books250 followersJoshua T. Calvert has traveled the world--on foot, by Jeep, by bicycle, by motorcycle, and lots of other ways besides. As you might imagine, he's seen many things most people never see - including an Iranian prison cell, from the inside! In Kyrgyzstan, he fared slightly better, narrowly avoiding being kidnapped for ransom. Skydiver, scuba diver, martial artist, adventurer - his goal is to experience everything possible, and then make it real to you in his books. And he's made a good run of it so far: in the Philippines, he did police training on multiple types of firearms (despite being no fan of guns himself); dove in Asian waters among sharks and shipwrecks; and patrolled with Sumatran jungle rangers.
That's what defines Calvert's approach to method writing: pushing himself beyond his own limits, to experience first-hand what his characters experience, to make your immersion in his stories as deep as it can be.
For Ganymede Rises, after a slight detour with some smugglers in the deserts of Uzbekistan and the steppes of Mongolia, he traveled by dogsled and snowshoe to the Arctic Circle to experience first-hand what it's like to be utterly isolated in the coldest place on Earth. For his book The Fossil, he sat with professional pilots in flight simulators for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft to learn what it's like to fly a passenger jet. His latest adventure: a parabolic flight with European Space Agency astronauts, to experience zero-gravity. All so he can describe it to you, in his own words.

And the stories just keep going. . .
Calvert doesn’t let up as the crises multiply for each of the three main groups in not yet connected except each responding to a more universal event. It will be interesting to see where Calvert will take us next. After all, this volume already brought Armageddon!

not much progress
The story that started in Book 1 did not get very far, other than to add more dire happenings.
I would be somewhat angrier at this had I purchased each of the four books separately. Since I am reading this via Kindle Unlimited I am getting all four for 5he price of the single book this should have been.

Love how the series is going
I love how the storyline has evolved in just two books, and the characters are taken off, and I loved how book two ended, and I can't wait for book three

Just finished the second, in this four book series. As usual Mr Calvert has me binge reading, unable to put this book down. A brilliant read, I can't wait to get book 3.

Spell binding!
Wonderful characters, fast-paced action.
A storyline that is unpredictable and weaves toward an unknown ending. This a trilogy, so a conclusion nears.

A fast paced continuation.
We find out more about the main characters and maybe start to understand what's going on. A real page turner.

Difficult to follow
There are too many threads to follow and many characters in each one. So it is difficult to keep track.

overly long simple novel in several parts
This series could easily be a single book, but no. The writer thinks too much of himself to admit that.

Book 2 continues a great story with a large cast of characters and exotic locations. I'm looking forward to number 3.
