This is book four in the series. Unlike a lot of prequels, this one serves two purposes. For those who have read the first book in the series, you will understand the characters better. We open once again with the alien's first visit. We are shown a glimpse of what happened before the second wave came. We still see the same bubbly, smart, and talkative Margaret, her best friend Bailey and Sheldon who has always been their protector. This book not only tells us what happened with the first wave of aliens, but what happened after. We learn about area thirty-two and how those who were infected are now surviving and where they are today. We learn so much, yet at the same time this book is written in a manner that the author could continue the story. Consider it a flashback in time with benefits. The benefits of learning something we didn't in the first book. Like all of this author's other books, it draws you in and holds you, forcing you to continue reading until the last page. But that isn't all it does. It leaves you craving more. So I say, we all beg the author to add more to this story. I would love to see this series made into a movie. I believe it would be a blockbuster. Well done Christopher Francis.
