The story is decent through the first couple of books but damn. The story line quickly take a left turn to Crazytown. One disaster after another often many at once. It’s a bit too much. To many storylines. Good characters (the ones not killed off in a terribly gruesome way). You have to expect some death in a story like this but this series sets them up and puts them down. I listened to the whole series, and enjoyed most of it but towards the end I was ready to call it quits and ask for a refund.
