After the Fall
After the Fall: Catherine's Tale Part 1
One girl and her family find themselves pitted against a city run by a ruthless gangster.
In the shattered society following an EMP attack, Catherine and her family try to return to some form of normalcy. In their secluded mountain valley, they and a few other farmers have begun rebuilding their lives. The next step is to start trading their produce with the town of Hillsboro. But Hillsboro has been corrupted, more than they could ever imagine. They are sucked into a web of lies and dangerous undercurrents of intrigue. They find themselves targeted by the gangster regime running the town.
This sequel to “After the Fall: Jason’s Tale” is a gripping, tense narrative of how evil can be unleashed when society’s structures fall apart. Catherine is pulled into helping the people of Hillsboro, against the wishes of Jason, her step-father. In the end the whole family enters into a desperate struggle against the town’s strongman.
If you like William Fortschen (“One Second After” and “One Year After”) you’ll love this tightly woven tale of intrigue and struggle in a post-apocalyptic world.

I had enjoyed the first book (Jason's tale) and this was a good next step in the series. This one takes on the process for groups that were a bit isolated in the initial struggle to survive, starting the process of trying to make contact with others. This also has a corrupt town administration in the mix (maybe set a neutral place to meet for future trading, instead of in the town?). This clearly is setting up for a major confrontation in the next book.

As good as the first!
I enjoyed the first of the series so much, "After the Fall: Jason's Tale", I couldn't wait for the second in the series. Was surprised it came in 2 parts, but it kind of makes it easier to read. Anyway, Catherine's Tale was as good as the first installment. Wasn't just about Catherine, which I feel is a plus. Lot's of characters & situations to add to this interesting story. I highly recommend this series. So looking forward to all the conclusions to each dilemma.

After the fall
This series began somewhat slowly however it quickly developed into an interesting tale. Catherine's story continues to develop the plot. Quite frankly, it has turned into a "page turner". I am going to begin the next book in the series right now.
