Review: Action-packed sequel, good read except for editing problems
Rating: 4 out of 5

The story started in the first novel in this author's series continues in this tense, brutal, sequel.  Editing problems and some plotholes continue, which is why I subtracted one star.  Character development for the main characters is good, though FEMA personalities and misc. bad guys remain monolithic. There are many useful prepping tips and there is a lot of discussion about various guns that is interesting.  I also enjoyed the attached essay at the end of the book on sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs.  I suspect many of the medical interventions performed by non-doctors in the story would not have been possible, much less successful,  in a post-collapse environment due to absence of available supplies and sterile enivronments, but it was intriguing to see what could pass as successful medical care without adequate tools and equipment, much less electricity or surgeons.
