Last Light Falling begins in 2053, with believable world conditions as they could exist at that time.  The story also beings on the main characters fifteenth birthday, twins Arena and Gabe Powers, whose parents were killed in a tragic car crash six years previous. Although they are still trying to accept the passing of their parents, the story is told through the voice of Arena.  Growing up, Arena’s Uncle Finnegan had taught Arena self-sufficiency, including the art of warfare and how to be invisible to the enemy. This is just the beginning of the unfolding of an incredible story. What I found so fascinating about this apocalyptic story is how real to life it was made to seem.  The author's writing was amazing and included several events that must have taken some very extensive research.  I know from writing books that this is the most time consuming part of writing a story.  This book was written so well, that the realistic events stick in your mind long after you have finished reading.
