Anu Sharma has become my second favorite character in the Apocalypse Weird universe, overshadowed only by Cory from The Dark Knight. She's very easy to relate to, although I did find myself rolling my eyes at her bullheaded determination to get her samples, despite the world literally ending. The best thing about this story is that it actually lays out the reason for this part of the apocalypse and it presents it in a feasible way. The idea that this *could* happen (even if it's a bit of a scientific leap) makes it much more enjoyable for me. Other books in AW just kind of hint at what's happening, but this book tells you.
The only minor detractions are the character of the General and a bit of annoying editing (or lack thereof). I didn't get what the General is supposed to be. Is he some ancient entity? Is he just a bad guy? And there were some places where sentences were missing a word or just a letter that caused little hitches in my reading. It was annoying, but nothing so severe as to make me pause to figure it out or get irritated.
Overall, I definitely dig this story arc and hope that it's continued in the future.
