This 2nd installment didn't quite grab me the way the first one did. But, I admit that probably is because it follows a bit more military/government/mercenary kinda storyline versus following the misfit crew from the 1st one. Those misfits are still there (sadly with the exception of Terry who was my fave from the first book), but the POVs go from them to the military guys.

A few months have passed and the military on both sides (non-infected vs infected) are gearing up to save themselves. Lesley is still a twit but does manage to actually redeem herself. Geldof is and will always be a dork, but at least he always tries to do his best which sadly can't be said for the rest of the world.

We meet a neat band of mercenaries in this one, but I didn't really care for either sides of the government characters as they were a bit lame.

There's some room for a further novel, so I'm definitely interested in where this goes, but it did kinda feel like a middle book where there's some progressions but the end doesn't really feel like the end (if that makes sense).
