“World’s Apart” is the best book in this series. The main reason for this is it answers most every question the reader has in regards to what happened to Alan Russell. And it focuses solely on him. This is a much needed chapter and having it take up a near entire book is very necessary. For the first four books, the mystery surrounding Alan had been circling overhead. The family drama, with the emphasis on Lauren, got to be a bit monotonous, so this was welcome change of pace. There are some interesting characters that have appeared here. What will become of them, and how they fit into the bigger picture, will be more than interesting to see play out.
Kevin Pierce is his usual amazing voice of the apocalypse. Perfect.
