Review: Three book set in order 9,8,9 on my 1-10 scale.
Rating: 5 out of 5

My ranking for these 3 books in the set are: Breakers (9); Melt Down (8); and Knife Point (9). The series is about life in a post-epocoliptic society .... with a twist. Aliens caused the fall of Man with stealthily introducing a virus on man which wipes out 90 percent of Earth's population. The books are written in such a fashion that this could happen tomorrow or next year. Very realistic.Each book tells two tales simutainiously. And it's fun to see the people in each tale lightly touch on the lives of other's in the other tale. The characters and situations are very well developed, and the books are written in an entertaining, professional manner.I myself enjoy both sci-fi (mostly space opera) and 'TEOTWAWKI' (The End Of The World As We Know It) books. This series clearly caters successfully to both of my favorite fiction topics.I did notice a total of 3 typos towards the final fourth of book 2 (one that was REALLY bad to actually make one stop and spend time examining it to figure out what the author was trying to say), but otherwise, all 3 books were very well proofed. Survival methods are mentioned and lightly explained to allow understanding to those who don't follow the topic, yet the books continue to flow right along.I am impressed enough with Edward W. Robertson's talent at writing that I intend to compliment him in the best way possible -- I will buy all his books in the Breakers series (Just bought and finished book 4 at this time). He doesn't overplay the aliens presence in his story telling so you'd not walk away feeling this is impossible to happen. He has talent, and I intend to explore his other offerings soon. (Keep in mind that very few books get a 10 on my scale).
