Review: So very many different paths.
Rating: 4 out of 5

This latest spin through the world of the Breakers by Edward Robertson is another hell bent for leather jag through the ruined, but slowly healing world left after the first plague attack perpetrated by the Aliens in the beginning of the series. The alien presence is all but gone...almost. But the feudalistic society built by men is only barely a small step above barbariarisim. If it weren't for the hard working honest folks intent on rebuilding a decent productive society, the world would surely wither and die. But a few manage to keep trying . Keep planting. Keep growing. Keep working towards a future.Perfect prey for the scum that still insist/thrive on anarchy, slavery, and masochism.The way Roberstson goes outside the box is refreshing. The "apocalyptic" thing has been done nearly to death. But! Instead of a five book slog through another broken world, with the same characters, each one becoming the source for the endings. Sometimes the good guys win, sometimes they lose, but Robertson has made a colage of different lives. Different struggles. Different victories. And as time advances in the series it's always a fresh view. A completely different scenario.A completely different path.....I really dug following along. And now, I'm ready for the next one.
