Our survivors from the first book are making their escape from the alien ships which have caused the disappearance of their families and the occupants of their town. Tucker, the young boy, seems to have some connection to the aliens and talks as though he can see some future events. The two groups end up together through alien intervention.
I found this an intriguing interpretation of alien visitation and intervention. I like the interaction between the characters who, in many cases, had deep feeling for one another, but in others cases great antipathy. Watching this play out was a great deal of the enjoyment for me. As this was part two of a three part story there was no final resolution. I tend not to like an unresolved ending, so for this reason, I look forward to reading the last episode which I hope won’t be long in coming.
