The Killing Moon is a BIG story of a global apocalypse and its aftermath, years into the future. Glenn sets up an interesting scenario at the beginning, and it's obvious that a lot of research went into creating a plausible story. However, In spite of that ambitious effort, I think it would have strengthened the story to summarize the disaster and invest more time following the individual survivors.This is a gritty, bloody tale that looks at characters linked together by family, friendship and circumstance; fighting to make their way in the bleak aftermath of a worldwide disaster brought on by war.When the thin veneer of civilization is stripped away, the world sees who we really are. Glenn reminds us that it is not the stuff we create that defines our civilization. Rather, after all the trappings are ripped from our grasp, our civilization is defined by what is left...within us. An ejoyable read!4 stars.
