While I absolutely loved the first story in this series, the quality of the stories has experienced a steady decline with each installment.  At least the back & forth through time has stopped, giving us a single narrative thread to follow.  But nothing really happens in "Rising Up" and some of the plot is doesn't make sense.  For instance, there's a lacy nightgown/lingerie...where did it come from?  Someone just happened to have it on them at the Democratic Convention where everyone in the silo's came from?  And the whole idea of "investigating" Karma for the stabbing was unrealistic.There was no real forward motion here.  But I will purchase the 5th installment just to see if Fitzgerald can recapture some of the magic of the first.
