Every step brings him closer to the truth—and closer to death. Can he find his men before the virus claims him, too?

Well, thanks to Mr. Lester I was a bawling, blubbering mess last night reading this book. But, oh my goodness, it is so good. I was up way too late reading while sick ( no regrets ) as I kept saying just one more page. I one more paged till 2 am. This is the second book and it is just as good as first one. If not a bit more in depth with the characters. Moon is my favorite character. I’d want him to lead any military, period!! I truly can’t recommend this book enough. Beautifully written, beautifully edited. I didn’t have to read and read the same paragraph over and over to understand it. If you don’t grab any books, grab this and first one and begin. You won’t be sorry.

Not a good stand-alone novel, character development and world building suffer. DNF 35%.
