A brilliant trio of stories following the exploits of the characters in the Breakers series.
There are familiar characters and some new ones. There are twists and turns. There is plenty of action and a deep philosophy of wisdom that brings depth to the story as a whole. The characters have their flaws and strengths, and are certainly believable. Great sense of place.
I have reviewed each book separately so will just say bravo, truly entertaining.
Go Walt, my favourite.
Highly recommended.

Twists and Turns Keep You Reading
This series was fantastic. I could not put it down. There's something happening around every corner and I was so engrossed with all of the characters, it was like being there. I could see this as a movie, it had everything - love, hate, happiness, sadness, action, drama, etc. I never read books twice, but these I would as there is so much going on, I'd be sure to glean something new the second time around.

I am a huge fan of a post apocalyptic world and this is, hands down, the best series I've ever read.
It's beautifully written, perfectly paced & the characters are real & relatable.
I love how they've all grown & evolved during the series.
I'm not sure I'm going to do once I've finished the last book.
Walt, Tristan & Ness are spectacular!
Highly recommend :-)

Can't get enough of this series.
Complex characters and thrilling action. Intricate plotting weaves multiple people and stories. I love Robertson's deft and clever writing. Fantastic!

Great series, and incidentally begins with a virus. I found the characters
were rich and alive, some of the story lines got weak. But as a whole it captured me and i still post it on Facebook and recommended to everyone.

Second go around!
This is a great series. Definitely not what you would call deep literature, but damn exciting with characters you come to love.
When the hell is this going to be a TV series @netflix

Hard to put down
Very well written, even tho the cadence is a bit predictable after you’ve read a few in the series. Still, I look forward to reading the next few as well.

I loved the heck out of these things. They were so exciting and filled with novel ideas about the apocalypse. Couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the next one.

Very enjoyable series that tailed off a bit towards the end. Looking forward to reading the final two books.

Much much too long. So many pages... thousands of pages...
It goes on and on and on with mostly foreseeable plots.
Towards the end I simply couldn't stand it any more.

This was exactly what I expected: a continuation of the excellent stories from books 1-3. I enjoyed them very much, and would definitely recommend them to anyone who enjoyed the earlier books. To me, the ultimate test is whether I want to continue reading the series, and I'm definitely planning to read book #7.
That said, I have to drop a star for what was, at times, poor proofreading and/or editing. I don't usually mark down books for that -- most books have a few typos. But sadly, they were numerous enough here to be a distraction while reading, a problem that I didn't have with the first three books.

Found this set of books even more compelling than the first 3. Timeline is approximately 6 years after the invasion and things have moved on, or not, as the case may be. We re-discover familiar characters in unfamiliar settings, but the books move on apace and are difficult to put down.
I was a little disappointed at the end of book 6 as I thought it was the end of the series and the ending wasn't what I was expecting, but there are 2 final books which I have yet to read. Bring it on!

Excellent series
Wish it wasn't over. Loved the series. Will have to start another book by this author. I have recommended it to all my friends who are readers. I enjoyed the way the author developed the characters. The series was very entertaining.

Fantastic
Don't get thrown off by the sci fi aspect of these books, they are so much more than that!!! Love to see these brought to life in a game of thrones type series! Great material!!!

Enspired!
One of the better written series books I've read. Fast paced with characters that do what is right at the risk of their own peril

This author REALLY knows how to develop his characters!

Amazing
I love this series. The author's writing flows so well its easy to get absorbed in what's happening with each character. I think they are realistic enough and don't always have a happy ending.

One of the best series I've ever read. The characters are flawed, aren't always that likable, and make their share of mistakes, which only makes me like them more. Someone introduced in one book is probably going to be back in a later story. Think of Robinson's books as a multi colored braid, expertly woven into a whole.
