The Wintermen II: Into the Deep Dark
The nightmare of an endless winter is the least of the problems for Johnny Slaught and his rag tag group of climate chaos refugees. They've been surviving in a frontier town abandoned by a government that has lost control - but their world is about to be rocked by the greatest menace of all - human greed. Into the Deep Dark is the second in Brit Griffin's eco-catastrophic adventure series the Wintermen. The north is full of ancient legends of violence, fear and madness that descended on isolated communities in the darkness of winter. For Johnny Slaught and the Wintermen, the legend is knocking at their door, and he has slicked back hair, a sheep-skin coat and a pump action.

A taught northern thriller set in Cobalt, Ontario, The Wintermen II breathes a breath of fresh, frigid air into the post-apocalyptic genre.
Picking up where The Wintermen left off, Into the Deep Dark follows Johnny Slaught and Chumboy Commando as they continue their fight for survival, against corporate interests as much as the perpetual winter that's set in.
It was a delight to get to know supporting characters better, and to see villains from the last book come back, if not less villainous, a little more complex.
Brit Griffin's distinctive, Northern Ontario voice shines in the vivid but economical prose in this sequel.
Cannot wait for The Wintermen III.

In a world filled with a wasteland of underwhelming sequels, Wintermen II delivers where all else fail. This is an incredible follow up to the previous novel, which is a killer post-apocalyptic thriller set in Nothern Ontario. The characters come alive, the writing pops, and the bitter cold envelops each and every page. Highly recommend!

Perpetual winter, snow-machines, and mystical forces, The Wintermen into the Deep Dark is a fast paced and killer ride. We live in dark times and this book should be the first one you read to prepare yourself for the cold road that the world has ahead.

Found a typo. The main characters naivete by the end is unrealistic and unbelievable at times.
