He has weaponized the starvation of the collapse, broadcasting a bounty that turns every desperate survivor on the road into a potential threat.

amazing
The second book adds to the tension and not stop action. Hannah is turning it to an absolute badass, Noah has the real world experience that I think compliments Hannah’s knowledge real well.

Hannah is a machine. She is barefoot, with no coat in the snow, in freezing temperatures, and is not only surviving, but is also keeping Cole alive, as well. Cole is dead weight, almost useless, and needs to be forced to participate in keeping his own ass alive.
