Review: Hapless and hopeless
Rating: 2 out of 5

Story has been done to death.  Characters are just impossible to get into, much less to like.  Everyone fears and/or dislikes guns except the bad guys.  The protagonists stumble around without a clue.  They've got people actively hunting them and trying to kill them.  They've lost friends and loved ones to these "zapheads".  And yet, they just can't seem to bring themselves to kill them.  Well, except for the "bad guys", which are (surprise!) active duty military.You've got a "trilogy" that starts in the middle.  Next installment starts at the beginning.  I'll be skipping it and the one following.  Drumming up interest in these serial thrillers/dime novels revolves completely around building characters readers can indentify with.  Not the case with this novella, at least for me.
