Summary

The second book in the exciting Predator Cities series!

When Tom and Hester's little scrapyard aircraft is pursued by rocket-firing gunships, the ice city offers sanctuary. But it is no safe refuge. Devastated by plague and haunted by ghosts, Anchorage is heading for the Dead Continent.

Nice follow up to book 1

Good read, Love how Hetty's character develops. Couple of good plot twists too. Couple of giggles at the names of towns or people.

A good listen

It's definitely not as good as the first installment. I enjoyed the book overall but there were moments where I was tempted to put it down.

Better than the first

Wow, this second book in series is even better than the first. A performance to match the greats and a story that will hook you from the start. Enjoy

a good yarn for all ages... not just the young

it's been a while since I read a "youth" book... I didn't read Harry Potter for example... but I have to say that there is a far dose of really creative imagination that could at a stretch become true. I live the rather dark idea of municipal darwinism. on the other hand even if it never comes to pass the story can just be a ripping yarn but at the same time it has its fair dose of symbolism and metaphor to keep this old man fed on all the level I like to be. The writer is a smart cookie and the reader is just brilliant... I dont know how he manages to remember all his different characterizations but he does and just keeps you in there. Now with anticipation moving on to book 3 !

Exciting adventure

Even better and more exciting than the first one!! This only makes me more excited to listen to the 3rd and 4th books, although will be surprised if they beat this book.

Better than the first book by a long shot.

It's better than book 1, but that's not too hard. I liked the story progressing into book 3 and I'm interested to see where it goes.

However the book does suffer from completely pointless plot points and storylines that are only in there for filler just like the first one. They add nothing to the story and it just wastes time. Convenient events, while less than the first are still very much present.

Better, but not amazing. A definite improvement
