Part two of the trilogy sees Dave Rand and his son Lee getting closer the men that took his daughters. They are a group of military deserters with a seven foot plus leader, Sheever. We get to see more from the bad guys in this one. The Rand's pick up a couple more people on their journey.
The action, once again is a bit sparse but it doesn't take anything away from the story. There is always some conflict here. Whether it be crossing an icy lake or trying to find shelter in a blizzard, it's always exiting. The other noticeable thing is that Dave Rand seems to be loosing a little more humanity at every turn. He still wants to find his daughters, but he's getting a little more animalistic all the time.
Book three is the last in this short series, and should pack a punch. Looking forward to it.

There isn't a lot to say about this one. It's the second book in a pulp fiction series.
A man named Dave and his son are seeking his daughters in the frozen landscape that scars the earth after its collision with an asteroid. Dave's daughters are being held captive by a huge warlod and his ruthless soldiers.
Fans of the Deathlands series might see that this is an earlier attempt by the original author at post-apocalyptic fiction.
All in all, it's not bad. It's not great. It's just a fast and easy read that doesn't provoke too much thought.
My last thought is that the three books could have easily been bunched into one longer book. They are each a tad over 200 pages and the pages are small. This said, this could have been one normal-sized novel of around 300 pages in length.
