I was actually at a loss as to what book I was going to feature this week, so I put a call out to my wonderful Twitter followers for suggestions. This book is now going on my TBR list, along with the first one in the series.
Ashfall, #2
Expected publication: October 16, 2012
by Tanglewood Press
It’s been over six
months since the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Alex and
Darla have been staying with Alex’s relatives, trying to cope with the
new reality of the primitive world so vividly portrayed in Ashfall,
the first book in this series. It’s also been six months of waiting for
Alex’s parents to return from Iowa. Alex and Darla decide they can wait
no longer and must retrace their journey into Iowa to find and bring
back Alex’s parents to the tenuous safety of Illinois. But the landscape
they cross is even more perilous than before, with life-and-death
battles for food and power between the remaining communities. When the
unthinkable happens, Alex must find new reserves of strength and
determination to survive.
The first book was really good and this one is too so far. There's a lot of research but the books don't read like it, he works the information in easily. I stayed up past 3 AM reading the first book.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the books!
