Review: Good Intro to a Series

I've always been fascinated by the post-apocalyptic genre. I've read a lot of its fiction and I've played the games of the Fallout series ever since their inception in the nineties. Probably my favorite representative of the genre is William R. Forstchen's powerful novel One Second After.Final Dawn: Episode 1 doesn't quite reach those lofty heights, but it is certainly a solid intro. Personally, I thought the focus was a little too divided for such a short work--not giving me enough on each character to really make me care about their fate, but I won't let that stop me from picking up future episodes, particularly if they're longer, as has been suggested. Mr. Kraus has done good work, and I trust he continues to persevere and improve. I'll certainly be along for the ride.
