Review: Interesting, new look at how our world could end

The Breakers Series follows the lives of several apocalyptic survivors. As the books progress, some of the strands of the character's lives intertwine, but some just ... end!While many books blame the end of the world as we know it on politics, or finance, this one is based on other-worldly forces (I will leave it at that as to not give away too much of the story). The characters are slowly developed.Overall, I was very pleased with the books. I did have a bit of a struggle at the beginnings of the first two books connecting to the characters, thus the 4 star review. At first, I didn't feel anything for either Walt or Raymond, and the same way with Ness and Shawn. However, as the stories unfold, you get to know these people and appreciate their place in the book. There were several abrupt character ends, and some unanticipated plot twists, which I appreciate.I recommend this book, and will be purchasing the follow up.
