Review: Riveting Excellent Story. Can't Wait For The Next Episode/Season

I recently discovered books by  Mike Kraus and his sometimes writing partner David Wright. Final Dawn was the first book I found. Actually written somewhat like a TV series, episodes are released every couple of weeks to a month and after 6 or so episodes you have a "Season." What is really neat is that you can read the story as each episode is released to Amazon OR you can get the Season or Collection of all the previous episodes so that you can read them all together as in a total book.  A perfect example is their series "Yesterday's Gone" (would give 6 stars if I could for that one) where there are 18 "episodes" spread over 3 seasons.This story (Final Dawn) has four major characters and what happens after an "event" occurs and everyone seems to have disappeared and major cities look look like the aftermath of a war zone. There is nothing, no electricity, TV, computers, government (of course THAT might be a GOOD thing) and the millions of people have mostly disappeared (no skeletons nothing) The characters are clearly defined and story is riveting. I am always disappointed when I reach the last page of the present "episode" because I just want to know what happens next!!!I really don't like it when someone kind of condenses most of the story in a couple of paragraphs and kind of ruins it for the reader since many times the reader should experiences themselves as they play out.I am now going through the rest of these guy's stories...."White Space" is great (I am waiting for the next season)  and as I mentioned above "Yesterday's Gone" got me through  Hurricane Sandy's result of absolutely no power, no heat, no hot water etc... for two weeks.
