Review: A good sequel

I think that if I had read this book first I would not have been as interested in the series, but I read the "77 Days in September" first and couldn't wait to find out what happened after Kyle got home. Writing a sequel that was just as good as the first book had to be tough and I didn't think it was as good, however, if another book in this series comes along I would definitely read it.  I have to say that I love the writer's style and it is a pleasure to read a book about events such as the one in the book without reading pages and pages of info on what type of guns everyone has and all the ammo that they use in those guns and what kind of range the guns have and what type of sites (spelling?) the guns have etc. I have two guns myself and my husband hunts and has guns so I am not anti-gun but enough is enough.  This author puts the focus on the people and their feelings and reactions. Not everyone is good and not everyone is evil. The events in this sequel were sometimes a little hard to imagine as believable. Kyle should be nominated for sainthood....no grudges and eternal patience.  It is nice to think that a community could pull together under the kind of stress that this community faces. I live in a small, rural town and no one can agree on something a simple as a leash law for dogs but I would like to believe that communities can come together in emergencies. The ending was an interesting twist and now what happens?
