I thought the first book was great, the second one was even better!!!Blue Plague SurvivalThe author Thomas A. Watson keeps you on the edge of your seat, or rolling on the floor laughing with the rest of the characters.  Don't get me wrong, there is serious action taking place...These people can kick some ass!  If you are a delicate or sensitive reader, this is going to be way out of your comfort range.  For the rest of us, what else can I say except that s*** is about to get real!  I think if this situation ever really happened, Bruce is the type of guy I would want in charge.  Even in the story there are some characters that have a "oh please, we can't say naughty words in front of the children!" attitude, so I am sure some of the reviewers have the same view.  Let me tell you, if a virus such as this, with the infected turning blue & biting & killing people...oh, & being damned hard to kill, then throw in some biker gangs, that want to rape & kill...I don't think proper vocabulary is going to be priority one for me.On that note, people in the reviews are constantly complaining about the editing in these indie books.  I read somewhere about the cost of having a book edited!  I was horrified.  I don't remember the exact amount right off the top of my head, but it was a lot per WORD!  I don't know what the authors get per book, but at a couple of dollars for an e-book it can't be very much.  They are trying to keep the cost of the book down so as many people as possible will read their story.  If people keep complaining we are going to lose all of these fresh stories and I for one would really feel the loss.  The way the publishing industry is run these days, some of the new authors would never even get their books looked at much less we, the reader, getting a chance to read them.  Please if you are going to be bothered by some miss spelled words, commas in the wrong place, or some typos, then stick to books that have been to the publisher and have been edited to death, and make sure you are willing to whip out your wallet, because it will cost you and you will lose some of that freshness.  I would be glad to help edit just for the joy of reading the book, and to thank the author for the escape his writing gave me.  So just enjoy the story. (Climbing down off of my soapboxed now, sorry, I do go on a rant every once in a while.)  Sorry to you Mr. Watson, I didn't mean to use your review as a podium, I just really, really enjoyed your books and get frustrated with the constant criticism on editing, especially when most of us reviewers could use an editor for our reviews:-)READ THIS BOOK!!!! IT IS THE SECOND PART OF AN EXCELLENT SERIES!!! I can't wait for the third book!!!
