Robertson revisits the theme of the first book in this installment. That being what happens to normality as civilization breaks down after the a plague-like virus wipes out 90% of humanity.This one is equally well written as the first. Character development is the writers strong suit and is the reason this book is enjoyable. Of particular note is the Tristan character who evolves from a listless twenty something leeching off her parents, into a battle hardened and scarred warrior as the story unfolds. SHe rocked.The dialogue is pretty snappy as well. i would have liked to have given this a five, butMeltdown gets a four for recycling the original theme. I enjoyed it, but the first 2/3 felt like an extension of the first book. Toward the end a little new information was introduced about the aliens that kept the storyline fresh.Good book, good value. i will finish this series.
