Review: Weird, different, sci-fi

I read "Season 1" of Final Dawn as 5 separate books, so I'll review the set as well as book 1. This is very different. Nuclear war destroys almost all of humankind. Four survivors battle to get to Richmond, VA, to try to determine what is happening. The books deal with their adventures. At times, they are a bit slow and repetitive, other times unbelievably fast-paced and exciting. Book 3 really speeds up the action, and it keeps up the rest of the way, through book 5. Since this is Season 1, the author is planning 1-2 more seasons (books). The ending is satisfactory, not a cliff-hanger, but there is obviously more to come. Will I read more of it? Perhaps, but I'm not sure; the story is so different from other post-apocalyptic novels. There are NO Zombies (thank god!), but the enemy is "different" and very science-fictiony. You might figure it out; I sort of had inklings of where it was going as well as the 'surprise' near the end.
