I was a little hesitant when I saw this three book pack...Oh well...a couple reviews seemed to approach it the same way but gave it 5 stars. Plague and aliens....come on...oh well...it was either the buy of the season or a waste...



It wasn't a waste. It really works...I just bought the 4th book and can't wait to start it. The Breakers series is a glimpse into a world when everything falls apart. The good the bad and the really, really ugly. Each book in this collection focuses on a single person and how the disaster that nearly destroys the world impacts their lives.



The first book fucuses on Walt. Walt, in New York loves his girlfriend and when she dies during the plague, he is so despondent that he literally walks away thinking he'll die on the way to the west coast where his love had always wanted to go but he kept her from her dreams....In his quest to see the ocean, his struggle includes fighting the aliens....he's a real anti-hero...still has flaws and warts...



The second book is about a pair of feuding brothers who end up in a small settlement with its own power generating. Only problem is, there are the haves and the have nots...In the end the two come together, a geek and a Rambo finding common ground and fighting to make life better.



The third book is about a wild child that loses her family, is taken in and when her second father dies and her mother is taken away, she spurs a rebellion to end all rebellions. She's twisted, funny, and definitely the life of the rebellion.



Characters from the first two books show up in the third book so once you get to know someone, they drift back in and out of the stories. They still are as damaged and twisted and didn't become saints, just more real in fighting for what they believed in.



Oh, by the way...the reason this package is such a bargain...it's a great read and over 1000 pages....so well worth the bargain price...now I get to read the next book...The Reapers.
