It picks up right where Red Sky at Morning stops (mostly because both it and Red Sky were originally in the same bigger story I believe). All the Navy stuff is still coming a bit too near the air moving rotary instruments. Still that story is a very, very subplot. Another subplot is about a teen girl who's having some trouble with her parents. But it's also a very small subplot too
In this book there's really just one main plot, and that's Kerry's father Roger Stuart. He's not doing so well. He gets sick and so Kerry has to go up to Michigan to be with her family. It's not surprising that Dar winds up there as well.
There's the usual tension that surrounds Kerry's family. What was cool about this book was that the Kerry vs. family relationship was so much more complex in a really, real way.
This book seemed more of a bridge book, it wrapped up a lot of the stories from the previous books and got the reader ready for Terrors. Because Good's books are so serial in nature (more than any other series I've read) this sorta book seems to be essential. Like it was the end of the first part of the series and Terros would start the next part of the series. ( )
