Great 2nd book in this series about a much different view of the apocalypse. It's the Sopranos and good guys fighting the real bad guys for survival while the mob guys get their usual businesses operating on the side. Great characters and plot. It also has a sub plot circling around which man will the lead woman character settle down with.

[Pam Shelton-Anderson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Oh, dear, the things I found somewhat appealing in the first book are missing or changed in this book. The uniqueness of a mob boss leading a group trying to survive post-EMP turned into a rather indolent, missing-in-action guy whose main function was to cause his allies to worry about upsetting him. The uniqueness of having a post-apocalyptic fiction writer that "knew" survival tactics gave way to someone who could kill 4 guys that kidnapped him, including a gang leader and jump solo into a truck driven by other bad guys. Who knew that writing about that stuff translated to becoming as adept as the best special ops character ever? The relationship between Max and Amy (and therefore Tony) became tedious and absolutely junior high school. Amy, a stone cold mob killer whines at having to run from the bad guys and their tracking dogs because she is sleepy? I think I'm done with this series.

Good book

Read all of the books in order to really enjoy. Characters are realistic and get better and better. Storyline continues to grow and develop. .
Good book to pass on to others.

Great reading

This book was definitely worth reading hopefully this author continues the story line in subsequent books would be great to see the story continue.

Great adventure

Max must now come to the rescue. Supposedly he’s a coward we are told but he acts very bravely so I don’t know why Max is described that way.

Awesome

I really have been enjoying this book.The interactions between Amy and Max are funny.I have to read the next book to see how that goes.

Good but frustrating!

Same complaint as book 1, too short. You just get involved in the story and it's over. This three book series should have been one book.
