Across Burning Sands

This second volume is certainly worst than the first. The author goes away from the "honest" science fiction, presenting us... werewolves! 😂. Right, having a scientific explanation not making any sense. So what is was previously a enjoyable exercise of scientific imagination becomes a werewolf soap opera... It's still entertaining but far from a masterpiece!

I can't get enough of PR Adams's books. I love his characters and plots. In "Across Burning Sands", we find Reggie and his ragtag band of accidental, ill-equipped survivors in a predicament, and they are forced to leave their bunker and journey across the wasteland in order to survive. We meet the sharpteeth, who were mentioned in the first book. They are not what I expected at all! Adams could have had them be cliche villains, but instead (typical for him) we have living breathing peoples with their own wants and desires, struggling to survive in a cruel world. I really enjoyed how Reggie, Barb, Denise and the others grew in this book, and in this book we learn more about the future world they woke up in. The ending left me anxious for the third book of the series!

Great read, very entertaining. Starting right away with the following book!
