This is a great follow up to the amazing No Gods, No Monsters.  I had honestly forgotten some of the events of No Gods, but I was able to pick up the plot quickly.  We catch up on old characters like Ridley Laine, Rebecca, Cal and Dragon and are introduced to new characters like Alex.  The characters start to circle closer to each other and the overall story becomes more clear.  It's still difficult to summarize this book, so much is still unclear.  The book goes back and forth quickly between time and place, but I wouldn't call it disjointed.  The story really flows.  

I would recommend reading Caldwell Turnbulls "review" of No Gods, No Monster on Goodreads.  He goes into his process and clarifies certain points.  It acts almost like a reader's guide.
