Cade is back and he is determined to get his family out of harms way as much as possible in the reality of this new world. As he promised Brooke, Cade quits military life and is now a civilian and is taking heading to the relative safety of the Eden Compound. While I was used to being on constant high octane since beginning the series, this one is slightly more laid back. It was a bit hard for me to go from 100 mph to cruising speed and harder to imagine the beginning of the end of the world was less than twenty days old. In Mortal, it was a running fight from beginning to end with little or no respite for the reader leaving you exhausted. Unfortunately tragedy has struck the Compound and Duncan is having a hard time (Slight Spoiler: if you have not read the book, don't go further) dealing with the loss of Oops, Jordon and Gus. And with Jaime missing, their only thought is of revenge. As the story line progresses, Brooke, having faced many times possibility of losing Cade, has grown and her character is more developed. She is a wife and mother who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her family safe, even if it means killing without question, and does not hesitate. Elvis is still plotting although on shaky ground he is determined to get his revenge on those whom he perceives have wronged him. Cade joins Duncan, Daymon and Lev on a mission to find Jaime and deal with the threat Bishop and Carson and his Spartans have become.  The battle that ensues is very satisfying, keeping you riveted to the end and reminds the reader why we keep coming back especially when Cade unleashes the full force of his military training in a slow methodical way....You can't take the Delta out of the Man.
