Four-star review of Perseid Collapseby Steven Konkoly
The second book in this
series finds something streaking across the stratosphere, possibly an asteroid,
breaking up, and striking the Atlantic Ocean in at least four places not far
off the eastern US coast. The novel focuses on how Alex Fletcher and his family
and neighbors cope with the ensuing flooding and tsunami and attempt to
retrieve Alex’s son and a neighbor’s daughter in Boston. The tsunami is
combined with an EMP, arguing against an asteroid, but there’s no explanation
beyond that. Also, no one seems to know how far the devastation has spread. Prepared
for any eventuality, Alex and neighbors Ed and Charley, set out south and west
to avoid military and police barricades, but the story quickly dissolves into
excessive violence. This is a quick, engrossing read.
