The first of the two part last book of the Rifters Trilogy, this is almost a full and complete story in itself, however it is only the first part of an actual full and complete story. At this point, we're still following our hero, but other characters from the previous book Maelstrom are still around. This is five years after the end of the last book.
I enjoyed this one because we return to the depths of the ocean and some of the social dysfunction of the first book. It is sadly only the first part of the final book, but it still carries its storyline well though you do end up with a bit of a cliffhanger.

Decent twists and turns in the plot and a nice solid ending outweighed the
occassional gruesome torture scene, but I still could have done without them.
Basic plot: two sociopaths band together to save the world from a third
sociopath. Well, at least they save what is left of the world after five years of
horrible plague and anarchy.
I read the two Behemoth books as one, uninterrupted e-book, so the review is the same for both.

Very interesting read if not a slightly depressing ending.

I like that this one took place in the ocean again.

The scope of this book's plot seems a little weird given that it's predecessor's scope was almost global while this story focuses on a much more localized setting.

This book is mostly dialogue and set up for the next book in my opinion. Very conversation heavy. Definitely a weaker one in this series but I still enjoyed.
