29/09 - This is even better than Lilliefors' first book Viral.  I'm enjoying his writing more and I've always been a big fan of weather related disaster stories (two of my favourite movies are Twister and The Day After Tomorrow) and this is a great example of that genre.

This book focuses more on Charles than Jon and you get to see a softer, more relatable side of him than you did in Viral, which focussed on Jon.  I like Charles a lot more, but it seems that Lilliefors can't give both brothers personalities at the same time, it has to be one or the other, and so Jon's personality seems to have disappeared and I don't really care about him like I did in Viral - which is weird, because I always like reading a sequel that continues the story of characters from the first book (check out my complaints, in other reviews, regarding reading books that are part of a series out of reading order).  If this series is going to continue I really hope Charles and Catherine stay together as I was really disappointed at the beginning of the book to find out that Charles and Anna Vostrak had gone their seperate ways because Anna didn't like the quiet life that Charles now wanted after living the life of a CIA operative - country hopping, always looking over his shoulder for enemies and never letting anyone get close to him in case his enemies try to use them against him - it was kind of like a depressing end to the book, at the beginning.  To be continued...
