Review: I loved the first book, 77 Days, but this one just wasn't quite up to the 5 stars I gave 77 Days

I enjoyed the Daunting Days of Winter, but, as another reviewer pointed out, this one contained some disturbing stereotypes and some lecturing.  It is a fine line between writing a good book about the apocalypse and sounding like a doomsday paranoid.  The first book really didn't cross the line for me.  It was scary, well presented, and forced me to evaluate my stance on preparedness. Daunting Days didn't challenge me, it just took me along for a ride.  I found it hard to believe that Kyle could be so quickly accused of horrific crimes on so little evidence.  On the whole, the book didn't seem as detailed and as well thought out as 77 Days. Still, I find this book worth reading and I would consider other works by Ray Gorham.
