I was not really excited about this series; my tastes in apocalyptic stories tends to run toward natural and social/cultural disaster, not aliens. But I have been pleasantly surprised. The story is logical and well developed; the characters are engaging; the writing is clear, understandable, and relatively error free. This is a broad, sweeping epic that moves to the point of view of multiple characters. However, unlike many stories, each of these characters is created in depth and with detail - they often skip a book or two before we see them again. When we do, however, we are able to spend enough time with them to really connect. I eagerly await each new volume of this series! The end of the world with a differenceAll too often, apocalyptic books parade a veritable army of gangsters, military types with plenty of hardware and aliens that are evil.Not so in this book.The story is told through the eyes of ordinary people simply trying to survive each day in a world where nothing is the same anymore. Each book is written from a different person's perspective and this allows the author to fill out the characters seamlessly, something that he does well. The main protagonists meet each other along the way, allowing the reader to read more about them in the successive books. Even the aliens don't really have evil intent, strange as that may sound. All in all, well written and definitely worth the read.
