Part two of this alternate Florida history sci-fi series was even better than the first installment. I can hardly wait for the next one. It does help to be familiar with the state and it's people, locations and issues to get the full impact of the text but the story is good even if this criteria is not met. Reminiscent of NBC's series The Event. More an alternate history novel than sci-fi, O'Neal seems to have an inside track on the future of Florida, the nation and the world. I can believe that what he writes about is more future fact than fiction.
