I am disappointed in book two of the "Secret apocolypse" and even thought it was a struggle to finish I do think its worth a read. To me it feels like the author lost focus just after the beginning of the book and regains it just before the ending. I know its fiction but there are aspects I do not like such as a 19 year old black ops specialist that seem to have all the skill,knowledge,insights,and nerves of a man that has spent 20 years fighting in the field beyond the scope of the normal military. Next I didn't like that the story bounced around between virus story, zombie story, monster story (Resident Evil), to in-animate objects coming to life story. This book was all over the place and many times skills and abilities used in one tight spot were forgotten in another tight spot. Most of all I do not like the near scene by scene rip-off from the movie "Aliens". Having said all this I still believe it warrents being read. I have just bought the novella and I hope this and the upcoming part three to the series will be written with more care than this installment.
