This one was harder to put down that any of the other books by this author (runner boy and third rescue). I just kept wanting to know more. The story is well structured, and the book is nicely broken up into bite size chapters so it doesn't seem like too much if you don't have a ton of time. This often led to a number of additional chapters as the story grabbed me.

It is a nice follow up to Runner Boy, digs more into life in a world without electricity. will be interested to see where event goes in the next book.

Very entertaining and fast moving book

. The main character, Brady, is very likable and the first person narrative keeps you interested in following the events as the plot evolves. This is Jay Mackey’s third book and his best so far!
