Review: 5 Stars But...
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a review of the series as well as this particular installment.  I have some reservations about giving this book five stars, since it is about as graphic in parts as a zombie novel, but is far more disturbing because the scenario depicted is well within the range of possibility.  All of these books are well written with good character development.  I've seen some negative reviews based upon the assumption that when the grid goes down, government, communications and health care will disappear.  However, I think this series explores a pretty likely evolution to a local control based ethanol economy, with aggressive criminal development.  This series is thought provoking and I enjoyed it.
