Review: An excellent page turner
Rating: 5 out of 5

After reading the first of the Breakers series ("Breakers"), I went ahead and bought this 3 novel "box" set.  (Though you don't actually get a "box" on Kindle books.)  I was very impressed with "Breakers".  The other 2 novels, Meltdown and Knifepoint were equally as exciting.I'm the type of reader who likes "page turners".  All 3 of these novels were hard to put down, and I kept looking for time to read some more.  I found the action exciting and the situations very interesting.  All of the story lines were believable extrapolations of today, and what would happen if greater than 99% of the population died.Each book follows essentially the same structure.  2 different characters or groups of characters were followed in their exploits.  Each book starts with different characters, possibly in different locations (though LA plays a major role in each book).  The author maintains the interest and excitement by reaching a peak in the action of one story line, then switching to the other story line.  The books go back and forth like this.  Usually, the story lines meet, or at least touch up against, each other towards the end of each book. There also are a few characters who span all 3 books.As another reviewer said, there were some typos in these novels, but I didn't find them that distracting.If you like near future science fiction novels, I highly recommend these books.  I couldn't put them down, which is exactly how I like it.p.s. After browsing through my other reviews, I realized almost all of them were negative.  I primarily wanted to warn people away from bad products or books.  I figured others would take care of writing the good reviews.  I'm trying to change that now, by writing more reviews of things I really liked.
