The criticism of the first book was fair, but I did enjoy the fighting in the first book. In the second book the hero is kind of depressing, his wife got killed, one daughter has become a robot and the other a crazy killer. In this book humans are losing big time and the battles are not very enjoyable. That subplot in the underground city was almost as bad as the couple of chapters in Key West in the first book. Then, all the women in the book are white trash psichos. This book stinks, try reading instead White Wing by Kendall, or the Paratwa series by Hinz.
