The headline says it all. Spaceman was an excellent refreshing read. Descent is just volume 2 in that series. Tom Abrahams is an excellent storyteller and Kevin Pierce is an excellent narrator. But even this team could not lift this beyond just another apocalyptic tale. After all the excellence of Spaceman, Descent is back on Earth and dealing with life during the nations decline after all the power has gone out. A few new characters are introduced which at this point is a disconnected side story. But at the end we can see where they will likely connect in the next book. This book is heavy on the conspiracy theories taking advantage of the CME.
Still a good post-apocalyptic adventure story. Just not up to volume one of the series. Would still recommend and I am headed for book three.
