Description

A year has passed since the Mayhem Wave reshaped the world, erasing most of its population and replacing civilization with random artifacts of advanced technology and magic. Harrison Cody now works as a special agent for the government of New Chicago, taking advantage of his newfound ability to open any lock. When an expedition is launched to determine the origin of the Mayhem Wave, Harrison joins them.

In their travels, they learn of other nations that have arisen in the ashes of the old world, not all of them friendly. They find the ruins of a one great city, and the possible source of the wave, the work of a man acting alone, with uncertain motives.

The truth of their quest lies in an enemy of unfathomable power, whose plans for the Earth and its people are not yet complete. Harrison may have the answer to preventing the carnage to come, but the solution will come with a sacrifice too great for him to withstand.

Once again, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. After reading the first volume in the Mayhem Wave series (Prelude to Mayhem), and thoroughly enjoying it, I had serious doubts as to whether the sequel could live up to the benchmark that was set previously. But it did so and then some!

Unlike the proceeding novel that dealt alternately with two main characters in separate locations and circumstances, this one pretty much just follows the exploits of Harrison and those in his immediate vicinity. That this entourage did not include Dorothy and Mitchell for the majority of the book was somewhat disappointing. But at least Glimmer was once again along for the ride, and in rare form.

Other main players in the story include many that we met, if only briefly, near the end of volume one; as well as several newly introduced characters, some of whom prove more important than others. All have their own attitudes, moods and motivations, which come across abundantly clear in the narrative. I certainly appreciate it when an author can adequately articulate varied personalities to the extent that each being appears as a real three-diminsional individual.

This tome provides an even more exacting look into the thoughts and feelings of Harrison. He often gives the impression to others as being something of a jerk, but he truly does have the finest of intentions, and just wants the best for everyone. As things progress, he gets more and more of a chance to prove himself, first as a worthy person in general, and later as a fine leader.

There is so much (good stuff) that I could say about this book, but also so much that is better if read and not just given away, so I’ll just leave it at that! I’ve heard from the author that the third book in the series (Mayhem’s Children - due to be released in December), is supposed to be even better! Seriously? Honestly, I can hardly contain my excitement!
