I just could not get through the 1st few chapters of the 2nd book.. I managed my way through the 1st book hoping that the 2nd would get better but but the character development was just horrible. Having having read Countless EMP and survival story novels this by far has got to be one of the worst. The fact that my favorite narratorKevin Pierce was narrating the story was the only thing that made it manageable.If you’re looking for a good survival story this is not it if you’re looking for a rush job with underdeveloped characters and random love interests that seems to come straight out of a Daytime soap show then this might be your cup of tea.
